Keeping this as a personal log - don't care if it is downvoted or deleted, as long as I can see it in the future. If there is a better place to keep it, let me know.
46M, SW 355, CW 349.
After years trying to CICO and exercise my way to weight loss, I finally begged the doctor to do something. I think I might have diabetes, but a blood test indicates otherwise. I thought surgery would be an option, but instead the doctor referred me to a specialist and I started Saxenda 3 days ago. I am very much anti-drugs, but knowing the consequences of my weight I am desperate for anything that will help.
I have dieted in the past, and just felt hungry and tired a lot - after a while I binged and gave up. I know that I usually lose a lot in the first week or 2. Not sure if it is water/salt, poop (I only go maybe every other day when dieting) or what. I want to keep it up, and this is a reminder.
*Today, I did not finish a full 12" subway sub + chips for lunch. I ate half the sub and most of the chips and felt so full that I could not even finish the chips. I have a 1 hour timer set so I can go back and try to eat the rest. * I know the medicine has something to do with it, but I will call it a win for me, because I am the one who did it.
I have also committed to walking/running the dog for 30 minutes a day or going for a 30 minute swim. I am trying C25K, but I cannot even run for 60 seconds yet, so I run when I can and walk the rest. I will go back to C25K day 1 when I can actually do what is asked.
