Journey so far
8 jabs in - happy so far. For context - 55 year old female. I was really worried about starting this journey. I am prone to putting on weight very easily. I am not an overeater but I snack too much/often and I am an emotional eater. I am also battling some genetics with obesity issues rampant in my family.
Reduction of food noise has been an absolute game changer for me. Not feeling hungry at all has completely reduced my reaching for snacks as a means of mental break/ dealing with angst.
The good news is having lost 8 kg I now don’t have knee pain and feel I can actually start doing some mild exercise.
Side effects have been mostly GI related but subside as the days wear on following the jab. I had been feeling exhausted but I think that might be from calorie deficit rather than anything else- since I have found some days I can’t eat at all.
So my next goals are - start some exercise- plan small snacks on those days where I can’t stomach food and stay on 5mg for as long as I can.
I am so glad I started this journey.
