Why couples are choosing to start GLP-1s together
 Handling the comparison trap when one loses faster
 Meal planning when you both can't stand food
 Communication strategies that prevent resentment
 Creating success without competition
 How dramatic weight loss affects intimacy


Key Insights:

  • The 3-2-1 ritual: How injection day becomes bonding time
  • Safe word system: "Red light" = can't even look at food
  • Different journeys: Same medication ≠ same results
  • Social navigation: Unified responses to judgment and food pushers
  • The real victory: Supporting each other through ups and downs


Memorable Quote:

"We felt like we'd discovered a secret together. We'd go out to dinner and order one entree to share, giving each other knowing looks when we couldn't finish it. It was like being in on the world's best inside joke."


Couples' Survival Kit Highlights:

✅ Weekly check-ins on injection day
✅ No comparing numbers unless both want to
✅ Individual meal prep, shared support
✅ Plan for different responses and timelines
