With so much news surrounding weight loss drugs I want to share my story. Now I fully believe that you don’t have to lose weight to be beautiful or fit a certain size but I was have been struggling with my body image since I was in middle school. Besides not feeling good in my skin I was constantly dealing with what’s called, food noise. Food noise is constant, obsessive, and intrusive thoughts surrounding food. To literally ALWAYS think about food. When am I going to eat next? What am I going to eat? Am I going to overeat? Can I indulge a little or will I hate myself after? No matter my size or weight or where I was in my life, it did not matter. My brain was misreading signals to tell me I was full or that I was even hungry. That can happen when your metabolic hormones are not functioning properly. Thankfully that noise is all gone. Though even now i sometimes have the feeling that i, “took the easy way out.” But i tell you I paid my dues and have worked my ass off. Literally. This is for myself. For the girl who would avoid looking in mirrors. Who can now eat without worrying about obsessing over food and every single thing that goes in my mouth. WHO can workout to be healthy and not be chasing an aesthetic. I can prioritize my life around my child, friends, and actually start enjoying life. For me this has been an absolute game changer. Don’t know where the future of these medications is going so I’m going to enjoy it everyday while I can. #glp1 #zepbound #transformation #group7 #weightloss
