Hey everyone! I'm Ashley. I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Always been a bigger person. I'm celebrating one month on semaglutide today and I'm down 16 pounds!
I remember when I was 22, I had a very physically demanding job and got down to 120. I was in the best shape of my life then. But I gained it all back plus more within a year. I swear I've tried every diet under the sun.
I had to practically beg my doctor to prescribe me something when I was around 175 because I was gaining so fast. I was doing everything right! I gained weight ON the medication and she didn't believe my food logs and took me off it. I eventually reached 235.
I've tried everything, all the tests, but doctors say I'm fine except for being prediabetic. Now I finally found a doctor who listened and thinks there might be a medical reason. So, I got approved for semaglutide, and so far, so good.
It's changing my relationship with food. I never had a huge appetite, but this quiets any cravings. It's changing how much I eat at once. I get full after a handful of food, like Thanksgiving full! I'm snacking on fruit, cheese, and veggies, and eating two smaller meals instead of one big one. It's made a huge difference.
Most of my friends don't agree with this medication, so I don't talk about it much. I just wanted to share with people who understand. Thanks for listening!
