Hey y'all! After spending some time quietly checking out the site to figure out whether it suited me, I can say I'm glad to be joining!
I'm 56, and my weight has been a battle for as long as I can remember. Like most things, aging plus obesity has thrown a pile of health problems at me. High blood pressure, asthma, arthritis, pre diabetes, and the list continues. During my most recent appointment with my doctor, I finally took the plunge and brought up GLP-1 meds.
So far I've had just 1 shot, and today is day 3. The change I'm already noticing is huge!!!
My username is Freedom, because for the absolute first time in my life I feel free from food. Eating isn't on my mind nonstop anymore, and every single thing I do no longer centers on filling a hunger that never truly disappears.
It's wonderful to be part of this journey, and I can't wait to hear all of your advice while I figure things out.
Btw- my avatar is my sweet beagle ( who is also trying to lose weight). If you have ever had a beagle you know the struggle.
