I want to drop doses back to 2.5 or 5.0. I’ve been on 7.5 for a few months. But i am worried that if i am not able to get mounjaro that all that noise will come back. I am currently paying 25$ and that is doable but i am 60 and I’m a lunchroom lady full time and i cut hair from my home and i instacart to make extra money. Lazy i am not but i can only afford a small portion for medications. It’s so frustrating. Anyway, i didn’t mean to over share… mounjaro has changed my life.

O wow Rosie! It took me until I was in my 50s to understand that I sabotaged myself because of sexual abuse that happened as a child and went on into late 20s as I continued to allow it to happen with others. I finally knew I was worth something and did not deserve that kind of treatment. I ended up at 105 but I'm only 5'2. Once I got pregnant I started gaining. They didn't discover that my pregnancy caused diabetes. After that I actually loved getting less attention. I didn't catch eyes when I entered the room. I didn't have stalkers. I didn't have people trying to pull me over on the road or following me home. I look back and see I did this for myself but now I have serious health issues. I think what have I done to myself? Now I am a strong person. I can tell people no I'm not married nor do I have anyone in my life but I don't want anyone in my life like that. I'm Happy! Now I just want to get healthy not only for me but my family. They do need me to be around. At least right now lol. I do have diabetes. I have not found a medicine that helps me without severe fast drops in my sugar. My doctor is actually scared for me. She is worried about a heartache, stroke, or coma, and death. She's telling me if you could get the weight of I think you would recover. I've been searching. I think I want to try this. I appreciate this group of women sharing your personal stories. Getting the weight off will help me. I try eating right and do great for awhile but I have a hard time because I eat when I hurt and I do have some issues that can't be helped at this time some because of the diabetes. I think the weight coming off will help that as well. I just hope to be able to get extra skin removed (I know it's gonna happen) lol. Going to my heart doctor tomorrow to get his opinion and then making that appointment with my family doctor. Wish me luck and this medicine helps and doesn't disappoint me. I want to be here for my family and of course myself. Love to you all and thank you all!

Thanks to Rosie! I started in Dec Mounjaro as well…i had lost 40 lbs for the millionth time in my life and knew when i began gaining again that I needed to finally give in to medication. Obesity genetics here and overweight off and on since age 6. Im 60 and just can’t do the yoyo anymore…life of torture re weight and thoughts of foood.. OMG the difference that this medication has made for me. I absolutely cannot believe the effect either that this medication has made on my mind re thoughts around food. I have genetics for this and it helps!!! Finally…it isn’t my fault..confirmed when you see a medication can take the obsessive thoughts around food completely away. I am blown away that I can now eat a normal portion and actually “be happy” about it. Lol. I just cannot do the yoyo again and my dr told me this is for life for me…I really hope nothing comes up that makes it necessary for me to go off of the medication. I believe that the prior thought around “emotional eating”, Bulimia ect will be turned on it’s ear as not based on “trauma” dysfunctional family dynamics” ect. 100 percent. With this medication..I feel normal….just wish I had had the meds at age 20 vice 60..but better late than never. Wonder how life “could have been different” if I had had this medication when young.

The lingering noise in my head has disappeared! I sincerely hope that there won't be any unforeseen or undiscovered side effects. Thank you for sharing this video and engaging in the conversation. It has been truly valuable.

I’m so glad you find it or value. 💜 You’re most welcome.

I have always said that the mind is the last thing we will understand because usually by the time that it can be examined the person is dead. And for those people that have a habitual problem have to determine if their chemistry has a propensity that has to be overcomed. Just as psych meds have helped people deal with mental health issues you need to find what is it that your body needs to deal with it.

Thank you for this , I have always felt I had an illness but no one would listen I just started ozempic yesterday but already understand the stop of food noise in my head so happy so relieved hopefully lots of weight loss to come

My pleasure!

I'm in Georgia too. So excited for this. Finally someone speaking the truth instead of all the negative the media is spreading.

EXACTLY! We were so excited too!

Thank you so much, ladies, for doing this! I have PCOS, high BP, sleep apnea, very high triglycerides, etc, and I've begged my DR to put me on these meds, with no avail. I'm honestly desperate at this point. I deal with binge eating disorders, too, so I'm not sure why my DR won't help me.

I say this with love…fire him & tell him why. Its the only thing that will make these doctors get educated on how to treat this complex disease. Talk to an obesity specialist, endocrinologist, or a bariatric specialist that will prescribe GLP1s. You’re not alone. It’s not your fault.

This is just so awesome and gives me hope!

It will be accessible, but only if you have 💴 💰 💴 We desperately need universal healthcare in this country! Healthcare should be a right. Not a privilege.

@@HH-gv8mx I’m in agreement. But that’s a war & right now I’m trying to focus on the battle of more accessibility & affordably of anti obesity medications. I’d love to grow this podcast & find a way to help people pay for their medications.

I started on Saxenda last June and moved to Wegovy in December of last year. As of today, I have lost 90lbs and exceeded my goal. This medicaiton has been a lifesaver for me as well.
