Please describe your physical, mental, and emotional state as pertains to this clinical trial.
Like life, weight loss is a journey full of ups and downs. That hasn’t changed just because I’m still shedding more than five pounds a week (as evidenced by a certain recent disappointment in my professional life)—but you know what? For the first time, I can honestly say that things are looking up.
Let’s start with the physical: I feel AMAZING. Yes, I still weigh more than I’d like to, but I feel the weight loss in every inch of my body. I don’t even care that I wake up in the morning feeling like I haven’t eaten in a week, because every day I’m smaller than I was the day before. When I look down, I can see my p***s! (Sorry—that was too much info XD.)
Now that I’m down to a 2XL, I can finally buy clothes in-store again, and they look so much better on me. Almost like they’re SUPPOSED to look, not like rafts of cotton stretched over a bundle of party balloons lol. The only problem is, I’m dropping sizes so fast I can’tafford to replace my clothes quickly enough! Lizette’s been a lifesaver there. She’s made me a bunch of great outfits. They don’t really fit GORDITA’s aesthetic, but she sewed the brand’s name into all the tags anyway. She claims they’ll be collectors’ items one day.
Although my face is still round, for the first time in ages I feel like it’s the first thing people see when they look at me. Not my boobs or the way my shirt pulls across my gut or the horrible upside-down triangle shape of my thighs. I see the way their eyes meet mine when they pass me on the street or come up to me at work to ask a question. I see the way they SEE me, and just that—just being seen—is the best feeling in the world.
It’s changing my whole personality. I’m ten times more confident than I was before. I’m not scared to leave the house. I don’t live in fear of running into someone from my past. If I did, sure, they might still look at me and think,Oof, he’s put on weight since college, but I don’t think I’d even care.
I’m not saying everything’s perfect or I’m where I want to be, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t the happiest I’ve felt in a while. I’m heavy, but my heart feels light, and that’s a hell of a feeling. Thank you, Obexity. :)

Excerpt from “Part 1: Background” (p. 19)
The participant was also active on the social media platform Instagram, where he frequently shared photos and videos about his life and weight loss journey. For years, his online following was modest, consisting primarily of friends, family, and acquaintances; however, his posts began to gain traction in summer 2023, when he started posting photos documenting his body transformation. With his NDA preventing him from mentioning the treatment, many assumed the weight loss had occurred through traditional methods, an obfuscation that appeared to play in the participant’s favor.
