0.25 mg/0.5 mL.
Last Weight: 260.8 pounds
Down 8.2 pounds (3.0%)

Well, it’s working.  8.2 pounds in a week is, frankly, too fast.  But I recognize that I needed a starting weight last week and stepped on a scale before taking the first shot.  Now I have been stepping on the scale every morning before I eat.  So that is part of it.  But there is no denying that this is working, and working very well.  The numbers don’t lie and show daily progress.

But the biggest difference is in how I feel and think.  I had never heard the concept of “food noise” before I heard of Wegovy.  Now, a week in, it’s amazing that I had never heard of such a thing.  I guess having food noise in my brain my whole life makes it normal.  Now, without it, there’s this emptiness that I can name.  Food noise.  The thing that makes me open the fridge door when I’m bored.  The thing that makes me absentmindedly eat the rest of dinner that my toddler didn’t want.  Without that noise, I can make conscious decisions.  And it is a hell of a lot easier to make decisions for my health when all of this food isn’t reaching out for me to take it.

I met with my doctor last week.  He said he wants to up my dose one month at a time.  So I only have two more of the 0.25 mg/.5mL.  That will get me through the vacation to Colorado.  Then I will up to the 0.5 mg/.5mL for a month.  If that goes well, he will push me to the 1 mg/.5mL. It’s exciting to have a doctor who is so ready to help me do this.  I want to show him that I am getting big results so that he will keep me on it.  If I am perfectly honest, I will stay on this for the rest of my life if there are no significant side effects.  This will easily help me move from obese to overweight.  But, with time, I think it could help me move from overweight to healthy.
