I approached my PCP with wanting to lose weight. For many years, I struggled with self control and being able to turn off food noise. Eating at night, overeating, eating crappy. He was ALL ABOUT the GLP-1 and even had a 2.5mg box in his office ready to go. By the time I could even say anything about it, the pen was on my stomach and injected. It scared the ever living shit out of me. But I looked online especially this sub and found the resources and community I needed.

The day after my shot when I woke up and wasnt feeling hungry I was thinking it was just placebo effect, but it continued for another day and then another day and another. I literally completely changed the way I was eating overnight. I am now meal prepping, protein shakes in the morning, eating 3 meals a day. I am bout to be on my 8th week (Saturday) on 5.0mg. I am down close to 25 lbs (Started at 309lbs and now at 281lbs) and honestly feel better than ever. I am feeling some food noise later in the week so I will be jumping up at week 9 to 7.5mg but honestly, Its LIFE CHANGING. It also helps with inflammation and alot of my cravings.

Dont be nervous. Be honest with your doctor about how you are feeling, and be easy on yourself. This is a marathon not a sprint. It will work, you just need to find your dosage after the 2.5 intro. You can do this, if I can do it, you can do it.
