The Good:
The way that this drug controls food noise is a freaking miracle. I’m also in therapy for Binge Eating Disorder hand-in-hand with this medication and it’s saving my life. I’m 40 now, I can’t handle another yo-yo, I need real permanent change.

The Bad:
Moving up to 5mg has been a bit of a rough road. I threw up after eating some pizza, even though I didn’t overeat; and I’m having more nausea when I spaced my meals out too much. But I’ll get through it, it’s nothing like what old compound Semelglutide used to do to me.

We got this! ❤️💪

38g of protein 7g of fiber (Metamucil in the coffee, doing a big lift there).

Chia seed pudding: 7 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp vanilla extract, a can of light coconut milk, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 6 tbsp sugar-free maple syrup. Let it soak overnight, but shake it a few times before bed.

I kinda eyeball it now I make it so much, and just scoop with the biggest spoon in my drawer instead of measuring and call it close enough.

I’m obsessed with this wrap for lunch. Macros are amazing for the calories. These mission tortillas are a fiber hack.

It’s just 4 ounces of cooked boneless skinless chicken, a cup and a half of Dole’s tricolor coleslaw mix, and 4 tablespoons of the skinny girl Caesar dressing

Filling for under 300 calories ❤️😊

Finally feeling the food noise creep back, so I’ll be bumping up to 5 mg for month 3.

I’ve been adding habits slowly. First I started tracking calories again in MFP. Then I got back on top of my meal prep. Now I’m trying hard to not only hit calorie goals but protein and fiber goals as well.

I added more movement over the last two weeks, pushing toward 10k steps every day (I’m at like 4/7 days now) and really trying to motivate myself to lift, because I know it makes a big difference. I only lifted once this week but I’ll get it going again soon.

I’ve gotta build on the habits as I find the energy, stack them on existing ones, and forgive myself for not being perfect. Progress is the goal, not perfection. And I’m making good progress.

Staying at 2.5 for another month despite the slight hiccup last week. I had a work conference and drank alcohol for the first time in about a year, and my body decided to hang onto every ounce of water as a result.

This week I really locked in, tracking everything I ate in MyFitnessPal, and hitting my calorie and macro goals (or getting very close to them) every day.

I’ve been slowly changing my shot day over the last couple of weeks as well. I had been doing Monday (cause I always start everything on Monday), but I decided I really need the shot to be strongest over the weekend (when the junk food happens lol). So last week I moved it up to Sunday and this week I did it on Saturday and next week, I’ll do it on Friday and that’s probably where I’ll stay.

I’ve got upcoming vacation to Vegas in October. I’m so glad I started now. We also have a major family vacation to Turks and Caicos next summer and so I’m trying hard to push for a healthy body I feel comfortable in on the beach.

I can’t see a time in my life where I stop taking this medicine.

Without medicine my whole life is just me gaining the weight back again. And here I am again… I Gained weight back again.

I’m back to 195 lbs again at 5’4. Back on blood pressure meds I worked so hard to get off. All I do is yoyo and it’s crushing my body. I’ve lost and gained the same 30-50 lbs my entire 20’s and 30’s and I’m so tired of fighting binge eating I can’t do it for my whole 40’s too.

My high weight was 280 years ago, but I feel like it’s a magnet I’m pulled towards constantly. Like anytime I get down to 150ish, a string pulls me back towards 200.

So got on Ro and ordered Zep in hopes to stop the crashout. I’m Really hoping this can help me win the battle of emotional and binge eating, because that demon is crushing me.

Tell me your tips and suggestions for overcoming a lifetime of binge and restrict ❤️
