It’s time to move up, this weekend I will take my first 7.5 mg shot.
Yes, my weight loss has slowed, but for me it’s more about noticing that the food noise creeps back in earlier and earlier in the week and the symptoms have all gone away.
I can now take my 5 mg jab and yes, for the next couple of days I find it really easy to eat low-calorie, but the rest of the week is now starting to feel more like I’m doing it because it’s habit rather than because I physically can’t eat the food. This makes me pleased because partly it means I’m learning that this is my new habit, but it does mean that I’m eating the odd snack in between meals, the odd cereal bar or packet of quavers, and yesterday, 3 chocolate digestives. And I know from years of experience, that is all it takes, the bag of crisps here, the cereal bar there, the extra few crackers with a bit of cheese, on these are the 100 cal 200 cal 300 cal snacks that add up over the week to being just enough to mean that you don’t see any weight loss when it’s time to get on the scales. So, on Sunday evening I will take my first 7.5 mg shot and then next week I shall be hypervigilant to changes symptoms side-effects, and next weekend I will let you know how I have got on.
I am still amazed that even though I’m feeling like I’ve reached a sort of plateau, it’s a plateau with a very slight trajectory downwards, and every single week since I started this journey, my weight has gone down, except for the one week I happened to be away on a rather lovely holiday.
I am pleased and proud of my progress and amazed at how this works and I still really want to sing it from the rooftops so that everybody knows that if you’re struggling with your weight there’s a solution out there that might just help. I’m not making any promises. I’m always saying I’m not an expert in this. I’m sharing with you my personal journey and I’m sure people are going to find completely different experiences and yet from all the Facebook groups I’m in it would appear that that all the clinical trials are accurate for the vast majority of people. This really is the solution that we’ve all been looking for.
So, it’s onwards and upwards. Up to 7.5mg.
