22, f, 5ft (230lbs before wegovy, 256lbs highest weight Jan 2026)

Since I was like 7-8 years old I have struggled with food and yo-yo-ing the scale. Genuinely i think that might be worse than just staying heavy or thin due to how many health issues this has caused me. Just have never had a good or healthy relationship with food in any aspect.

I heard that wegovy would help “ turn off the food noise “. I thought this surely meant I would not want food anymore the way a rabies victim does not want any water. I was quite disappointed when I didn’t immediately gag at the thought of pizza seconds after the shot honestly. People made it really sound so crazy and scary, I had big expectations but went on about my day.

By the time it was dinner, I had realized I hadn’t thought about food all day. Not one, “ what’s for dinner? “ really even. Maybe when someone would bring up food, I’d be like “ oh, sure, yeah those are really good “… but I didn’t begin to crave or obsess about that food item. It seriously was just a passing thought with absolutely zero power. Is this how everyone has been feeling this whole time?! This whole experience has made me realize how not ok I was and how not ok my eating was too… like seriously girl that did nottttt happen for no reason, not to me at least!! I was just sooo detached and depressed. This has really helped ground me in terms of food, which has taken so much stress and shame out of my life. Stress and shame i’ve felt since I was sooooo little too.

Anyways, it took some time to adjust to my new appetite and trying to pack in appropriate nutrients, but im doing good now!! I just got my dose increased to 0.5mg and im just really happy to continue with actual hope and certainty this time. oh, also just got a Costco & YMCA membership as a reward for 10lbs down :))
