Ozempic®

Management of my appetite was the biggest challenge, so the medication has really just been game-changing. I’ve been trying to lose weight for 14 years. As soon as I knew about this medication from my research, I ordered it the same night I found out it was available.

The biggest thing it’s taught me is about food noise. I didn’t realise it was such an issue for me, but I really suffered badly with food noise. And the medication blocks it. I feel that it [Mounjaro] gives me that opportunity to pick better food, so my choices are better and healthier.

It’s so easy and quick to take my injection [Mounjaro]. I’ve been overweight for my whole life — to be able to take that worry and stress away — you don’t realise how much room it takes up. I’ve been able to sit down and create a schedule for myself, it’s given me some space back.

Within the first week of taking it I can guarantee it was the best thing I’ve done and I’ve not looked back since. I’m really happy that I took that first leap of faith and ordered. I wish I’d done it sooner. Medication has given me my life back.

I did a lot of research before taking the leap to start medication, but I am glad I started. The food noise was silenced, which has been the most refreshing thing. I make better food choices and am more relaxed around food. It has been liberating, loving this journey so far.

I was so unhappy before, but there were a lot of reasons for my weight gain, including stress and loss… I’m so glad I made the decision to invest in myself. I feel like my confidence has come back and I’ve started to rediscover myself.
