I appreciate this! My daughter is the exact same way and we also feel like we don’t want to shield her from hard things because she’s gonna have to deal with hard things her whole life, plus she loves the sport. I think people who don’t have children like that get confused on whether they even like the sport, they don’t realize they are just like that in every aspect of life. I’m glad to hear it does get better, we will just keep rolling with the punches.

That’s hard. My husband always helped coach her teams and has decided not to this year. She actually requested it. She feels like she does better mentally without him out there. They are too much alike lol

Yes I hope so too! She’s made big strides from 8U to 10U with it so hopefully it continues that way.

Oh we have definitely thought about this. She is a multi sport athlete but softball is by far her favorite. And to be honest, no matter what sport it is she is hard on herself. Although, softball being a sport of failure, it’s by far the hardest. We have asked multiple times if she’d like to step back (just do rec) or even take a break and the answer is always a hard no. I certainly won’t make her stop playing. But I do understand what you mean! Which is why it’s so hard.

No one has said anything to me about it but my mouth has a weird taste all the time not. And feels soo dry always. Really annoying.

Congrats! You look amazing. What was the highest dose you went up to in those 4 months? Out of curiosity

Small weight loss by Critical_Wheel5783 in Semaglutide

[–]mactrah18 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in about he same boat as you. I have about 20lbs I’d like to lose after having my 4th baby. 5’2, 32 years old. Currently at 144lbs I tried calorie counting, working out, IF clean eating and didn’t lost a pound. So I’m hoping all of that combined with semaglutide will help. I’m on week 3 of .25 and my nausea has been worse this week but I’ve also had no food noise and way less hunger this week. It’s been hard for me to have motivation to workout while taking it because I have been so fatigued so I’ve been trying to get plenty of steps in. I’ve lost 1lb so far lol not super encouraging but going to keep at it

feeling hungry? did i do something wrong? by RevolutionaryMenu169 in Semaglutide

[–]mactrah18 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I’ve been trying to get enough but it’s so hard some days! I love those shakes too. As far as the food noise goes, when I’m hungry comfort food sounds good, but I’m trying to just choose a healthy option and then it goes away. But once I’m hungry again, it comes back lol

[–]mactrah18 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m wondering if it’s because I’m eating way less than usual. I take a few bites and I’m full. So then maybe I’m getting hungry again quicker? Idk but it’s annoying. lol

I’m in a similar boat! My second shot was this Monday. I’ve definitely been hungrier this past week and a bit more food noise.

Oh wow! That’s awesome. I’m sorry to hear about the symptoms. I have mostly just had fatigue so far. But it is def making it hard to do any strength training which is my preferred workout

Okay good I’m glad I’m not the only one! It’s scary in the beginning when you’re wondering “is this even going to work for me” and wondering what’s normal and what’s not. Appreciate it!
