Thanks for sharing and congratz on the weight loss! Any side effects you noticed?
LoseIt: Lose the Fat
https://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/
A community for weight-loss, primarily by means of inducing a caloric deficit.
- HbA1C was at a pre-diabetic level and has gone back to a safe level.
- Probably a side effect of not drinking so much anymore- some liver test numbers look good now.
- knees don't ache as much
- TMI alert: I can now sleep through the night without waking up to pee multiple times. (Early thirties fwiw)
My mental health had improved a ton, but it went to shit after the layoff, and am still working on that. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I can fit into old clothes from uni again, does that count lol?
Congrats on the weight loss and keeping it off!
Out of curiosity, how tall are you?
5' 8"/173 cm
Nice work! Berries and fruit are the only things I allow myself to have for snacking in the house. I also started a garden and will eat whatever I can grow, it's a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers.
Did you eat from non hungry related factors before using Ozempic? You know, snacking because boredom/anxiety/nervousness/depression/etc.
If yes, how did you managed it during the process?
Yes, I did and still do stress eat.
While I was on ozempic, I literally couldn't eat and would feel nauseous if I ate anything after my meals. So I found other non-food based coping mechanisms - some healthy, some not so much, but that's a battle for another day.
It still happens, but at far lower volumes. Like, I would destroy a large bag of chips in under 5 minutes back in the day while stressed about something. But now I sort of stop after like 10% of it because I feel physically sick at that point.
