A New Start

We're in an awful heatwave, but I'm actually coping better than last Summer because I weigh less!

Onederland! I don’t weigh myself often because I get too focused on the number and not the journey, but I weighed myself today and I’m 198lbs! And that was with breakfast in my stomach! This is the lowest I’ve been in the entirety of my adult life

Lost a lot of weight, so I went through my clothes and 5 lovely dresses are now too big for me :')

I physically can't drink on semaglutide. I had 2 alcoholic drinks and then a soft drink and I was sober, but so full I felt sick. I know GLP-1s are being studied on reducing cravings for alcohol but the inability to actually take on that much liquid seems like it would be a factor

Still feeling positive and doing well but I definitely am feeling the food noise return in full force

I drank for the first time since starting semaglutide last night and physically I was so full after 2 and a half drinks. I have heard of it’s effects on alcohol cravings but as someone who rarely drinks I don’t have those anyway, but they don’t tell you that you physically can’t fit those drinks in!

If you’re looking for any sort of relatable post or community about GLP-1 meds on tumblr you won’t find it. All you’ll find is ED blogs posting how they want it, scammers trying to sell you fake versions of it, and people convinced Ozempic is the devil and so are it’s users

I went to the gym today for the first time in a while and damn exercising is so much easier when your asthma is under control. You mean most people had it this easy all along?

Being on semaglutide and tackling my weight is really making me think about how my cousin died at my age from obesity and how much we had in common. I feel like it's a bit rude to talk about his health, even on an anonymous blog, but I'll just say that it's making me reflect on a lot right now. I'm just sorry life worked out the way it did for him

I did a manual handling course on zoom and I used an Amazon box as my prop to demonstrate I knew how to lift properly, and the instructer asked me if I bought anything nice on Amazon. The deer in the headlights look I must've had while I tried to think of a lie because I didn't want to admit I bought spare needles for my semaglutide pen...

One week on semaglutide and I've lost 1.5kg or 3.3 pounds!

Day 2 and I’m just not hungry. I didn’t expect it to kick in this early but maybe it’s a placebo effect. Either way, I love it already
