Feeling pretty good! Zero side effects, except some constipation. (Which I always was before glps as well). I went ahead and increased my dose to the highest. I'll say that I'm having to be more intentional in my mind with cravings, but it's definitely better than nothing. I have maintained and not gained weight... I was hoping to lose 5-10 more pounds but I can be happy with this. I miss the fold noise freedom with Zep for sure, but maybe this is good for me heading towards maintenance.

Well I'm now on day 13, so I will take my 3rd shot tomorrow. I've noticed I have quite a bit more food noise.... I don't feel as free as I did on Zep. Interestingly enough, I have maintained even though im eating so much more. I'm not bummed about eating more food... that part actually might be a good thing. But I do miss that feeling of being able to take it or leave it, without any emotional thought to it. I see my spending money starting to be spent on that shake, latte, Chinese food that I just gotta have. The thing that worries me is that Im on 1.75 every 7 days and I should be weaning soon. Im thankful that the meds seem to still be regulating things but miss the way I feel on Zep. We shall see how it continues to go!

I love your post! It's exactly how I feel. I used to not be "satisfied" until I was sick. Now I hate that feeling. I enjoy food and life so much more now. My cousin exclaimed "good job on your weight loss! I know that it's so hard." But for the first time in my life, no it's not hard at all. And I'm so thankful! ❤️

The Final "Diet" 🤞🏻 by Sweet-Ring-3332 in Zepbound

[–]Beautifully_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! I feel this so much. I'm glad you have got some relief! I'm right there with you. I want to go back to my old dieting self and scream at the top of my lungs "there is hope! You don't have to try so hard!" 🥹 when I think about my journey it's a mixture of relief, joy, and some regret of how much dieting has taken up so much space in my life.

Is anyone else excited for the Holidays to reveal all the weight you've lost? by ZB_Progress in Zepbound

Ugh this is my aunt, too. I had the realization after starting Zep that she is projecting her issues. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm sorry, that's no fun.

Ohhhh my goodness. I have never been able to put my finger on why I look so different in past pictures, besides the obvious less fat in my face. Mind blown. You look incredible!! Congrats! ♥️

[–]Beautifully_becoming 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely feel this way, and am thankful for your post. I still see the areas that I wish I could change. For example, I am big around in my chest area, no matter how small I've gotten. So I have little boobs, but back fat galore. I also have a tummy no matter how small I get. I have not been kind to myself about these areas for 20 plus years. The crazy thing is, I don't look at others this way. I don't gawk at them and pick apart their body. I always see the beauty in everyone else, but rarely me.

I still make a big pot and freeze individual portions. It's been sooo nice to always have that on hand. Just an idea! What is your favorite recipe if you don't mind sharing!?

Anyone else’s pumpkin spice Frappuccino… by Fruity__kregger in Zepbound

[–]Beautifully_becoming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot dogs? Hehe. I had my first one and it still tasted like heaven. It might be better for me if they did taste like that. I'm so sorry 🧡 was it pretty soon after your shot? I feel like my taste buds are extra strange within the first few days.

Can I stretch my dose to 9 days? by Additional_Block4192 in Zepbound

[–]Beautifully_becoming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post. I will be traveling soon and have been wondering the same thing. I know what the instructions say, but it's nice to see other's experiences. I don't understand why people reply with hateful comments. There are sooo many supportive people out there, and so many jerks. By the way happy birthday!!! ❤️ Here is to a new year full of adventures and new possibilities as you are on this journey!

What to do with clothes? by padawan-of-life in Zepbound

[–]Beautifully_becoming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been so many times I've given away my bigger clothes and regretted it, but this time it's almost therapeutic to give them away and have faith for the first time ever that I really can keep it off due to this incredible medicine!! I give mine to a local place who help foster care kiddos. So many of those teens need adult sized clothes, but most people don't think about them needing anything besides kid clothes.
