Handling Finances and Habits in Weight Loss Journeys

Dear Carolyn,

My partner decided to invest in a three-month supply of a GLP-1 medication, which resulted in significant weight loss for them. They were quite pleased with the rapid results. However, two concerns have emerged for me. First, the cost each month is akin to making two car payments, and my spouse did not inform me before making such a substantial purchase.

Another issue is that while they are now diligent about monitoring calories and consuming smaller meal portions, they have maintained some indulgent habits. They continue to have a daily beer alongside a nighttime bowl of ice cream. This seemingly contradictory behavior has been difficult for me to reconcile.
