I’ve struggled with my relationship with food since I was a child. As an adult I’ve always felt like I was much younger than my age and have always weighed an average of 115 lbs with a low of 103 lbs. With menopause at approx age 52, I started feeling much older. I tried BHRT 1.5 yrs ago and gained 12 lbs in 3 months. It took me a full year to lose those 12 lbs. I’ve tried losing more weight and struggled to drop below 125. I’ve decided to try semiglutide and use it as a tool to change my eating habits. I have a crazy sweet tooth and love salt. I have a tendency to want a large volume of food and eat fast. I also drink very little water. I have always skipped breakfast and lunch so I could eat more at night. I have tried every diet out there including Atkins, Ketogenic, Intermittent Fasting, Calorie Counting, and Mediterranean. The only one I ever lost weight on was Atkins and I stayed on it for a year, but got tired of not being able to have all kinds of fruit.

Since starting semiglutide 5/23/24, I have been forced to drink 64 oz or more a day, eat 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, cut out all sugar, limit my fat, eat more protein, and watch my sodium.
It’s only been 2 days since my first injection, but I am eating less, not feeling hungry, not nauseous and seeing a drop on the scale. I’m hopeful that even if I stop getting injections once I reach my goal weight, I will have some tools to help me keep it off.
Hopefully I can help others by sharing what my journey on semiglutide looks like and what my progress or lack thereof looks like. Hopeful it will be a success but only time will tell.
