ON ZEPBOUND

I made some mistakes and I’m only less than a box in. If you’re curious about #zepbound or #glp1 and you’re starting the medication soon, don’t make these mistakes. #weightlosstransformation #weightlosstips #weightlostjourney

Here were my mistakes:

1. I listened to everyone

I had the medication in my hands and I sat on the box for days before I was brave enough to take it. I was terrified I’d feel horrible. I heard about people being so sick, so tired, not being able to leave the bathroom, etc, and it made me delay the shot. Everyone nearly made me chicken out.

2. I didnt take photos

I forgot to take photos so my before photos were a few days late. I also took them with the mirror on a serious angle instead of straight up and down on the wall so the photos don’t really accurately show anything. My top looks huge bottom small but the reality is the opposite

3. I didn’t eat

The medication worked so well to the point that I didn’t need to eat, I had zero hunger cues. I should have told my dr immediately because two weeks in I had a checkup and she changed up how long I’m on each shot.

4. I didn’t know how much I should be losing per week

I thought I should be losing 2lbs a week minimum, turns out it’s .5-2lbs minimum which caused a little stress day to day when I was half way through the week and not seeing loss.

5. Drinking too much water

I already drink a lot but I was taking it extra serious now that I’m on zepbound and I absolutely overdid it which made me even less hungry. I’m now capping my water bottle refills.

6. Not prep shopping

I recommend having plenty of protein stuff on hand. The week I didn’t buy extra protein shakes was the week I got extra busy, didn’t eat enough and then lost like nothing. So now I buy two cases of protein shakes just in case.

I’m still learning it all. What were the mistakes you made? #glp1forweightloss #glp1weightloss #zepboundjourney #ozempicjourney
