[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm three weeks in and have lost an average of 2 pounds a week.  My side effects have been some acid reflux and some constipation.  I haven't been hungry, so hitting fiber and water targets is harder.  Overall, I feel great.  The side effects are manageable, and I'm realizing how loud the food noise in my head has been since I was a pre-teen.  I feel sad that I have wasted so much time thinking about food, feeling guilty for eating, focused on working off the bad choices, and just feeling awful about myself.  I've been between a size 2 and size 10 in my adult body, and this has been constant.  [/quote]

Man, this resonated with me. Me too, girl, me too. Loud food noise since about age 13, berating myself for what I ate all the time, trying to starve myself, thinking about working off all the food through exercise all the time. I've always been slim, but it was a constant battle. And I, too, am sad about a lifetime spent thinking about food, feeling guilty for eating, focused on working off food and FEELING AWFUL ABOUT MYSELF. Ugh! I started Zepbound 12 weeks ago. I have lost 16 pounds and I feel and look fantastic, but even more wonderful is the fact that I'm not so obsessed with food, what am I going to eat, how much am I going to eat, how long can I delay the next time I eat, are there going to be temptations the next gathering I go to that I'm going to have to fight off or fall victim to, did I ruin my day by starting it with a donut and now I'll just binge all day.

I haven't done those exhausting, unhealthy things in 3 months and I feel peaceful and content.[/quote]

I’m one of the posters who asked questions as to how Glp-1s work, and I’m still confused. Are you saying now that you are on it, you can eat the donut and not gain? How are you keeping your intake to a level that makes you lose weight, without tracking it? I am “only” less than 10 lbs over my goal weight, but it’s all crept on it past year and a half. I eat and exercise exactly the same as I always did, so I assume it’s a slowed metabolism from menopause/aging. I feel like I already eat a healthy, portion controlled diet. [/quote]
