@thealicialevy: I took my first GLP-1 shot. I remember being excited, nervous, hopeful…and honestly wondering if this would just be another thing that didn’t work for me. Because when you’ve spent years fighting your body, losing and gaining the same weight, dealing with cravings, food noise, inflammation, hormones, and feeling like you should just be able to “try harder”…you start to wonder if anything will ever actually be different. This was different. And yes, I lost the weight. But two years later, I can tell you that the number on the scale is only a small part of what changed. I finally got my confidence back!! The constant food noise finally got quieter. The insane inflammation, debilitating brain fog and exhaustion were gone 🙌 I learned the importance of protein, movement, sleep and taking care of myself. I learned that faster isn’t always better. I learned that you don't have to keep increasing your dose just because you're hungry sometimes or the scale hasn't moved in a week. I learned that maintenance is its own journey. And maybe most importantly, I stopped feeling ashamed that I needed help. GLP-1s were a tool for me. A life-changing one. My journey wasn't perfect. I had side effects. Stalls. Questions. Trial and error. I had to figure out what worked for MY body instead of comparing my journey to everyone else's. And two years later, I'm still learning. But I know one thing for sure… I would make that decision all over again. So if you're reading this from where I was two years ago—scared to start, overwhelmed by all the information, wondering which medication is right for you, worried about side effects, confused about dosing, or wondering what maintenance eventually looks like… I've been there. And after two years of living this journey, I want to talk about ALL of it—the good, the hard, what I wish I knew when I started, and what I've learned along the way. So if you ever have any questions, my DMs are always open. 🫶 And check out my profile for more info. Two years ago, I thought I was making a decision to lose weight. I had no idea how much of my life I was about to get back. Happy 2-year GLP-1 anniversary to me. 🥳🥂
