160.4 down 4 lbs since starting.

Woohoo! I wasn't going to weigh myself until Friday morning, but my husband encouraged me to weigh myself each day.

I really have no appetite. I asked Orderly meds if I can stay at .25, but they said I need to keep with the prescribed doses for these 1st few months, which is 1st month .25, 2nd month .5, 3rd month 1. It is hard to imagine how im going to deal with that, maybe I will get used to .25 and .5 and start to have an appetite.

I can see why they caution people with a previous history of eating disorders not to do this because this would be the Holy grail for an anorexic, or even for me back when I was fasting.

So, I dont know if I will ever talk about my marriage, or work, or anything else in my life. I dont want this to be too personal incase someone finds out who I am, because is anything really anonymous online?

And I am just going to write how I write in my journal, just casual, nothing fancy.

Thats all for now. Hoping today is a better day at work than yesterday.

On Friday I started GLP 1. For some context I am 42 years old, 5'0", 164 lbs, I would like to get down to 115 lbs.

I ordered my compound semiglutide through Orderly Meds, I am starting out on .25 mg. After my 1st injection I had a slight headache, and felt lethargic. The next morning (yesterday) I woke up thinking that it wasn't going to kick in for a few weeks, because that's what I've been told about this first month on the lowest dose.

But then after about an hour of being awake I realized that I hadn't been thinking about food like at all, and normally on the weekends I am always thinking about food because that's when I eat whatever I want. Yesterday I had kind of a hard time eating, I had no appetite. But I did start having a little depression in the evening like I have with another medication I was on a while ago. The depression isn't from thinking about anything, it just randomly comes, most of the time in the evening, and lasts a few minutes, but it is awful.

So I think next week I will inject into my thigh because I heard that is supposed to give more of an extended release, or I might give myself smaller doses.

Well, that's all I really have to say.

GLP 1 day 2

It's been years since I have attempted a blog, and Im not a very good writer, I just want to share what is going on in my head and my life anonymously. On Friday I started GLP 1. For some context I am 42 years old, 5'0", 164 lbs, I would like to get down to 115 lbs. I ordered my compound semiglutide through Orderly Meds, I am starting out on .25 mg.
