I’m a 40 year old single mom who just opened up my own private counseling practice. I created this practice while working full time as a high school counselor and on the weekends as a therapist at a mental health hospital. To say I am busy is an understatement!
As a lifelong vegetarian, I thought I was eating pretty healthy and the kids and I usually tried to make it a point to always eat dinner together. I don’t think we ate poorly but it was very easy to order a pizza or pick up something on the way home. Looking back, I can also see that my portion sizes were an issue.
I knew that I was starting to gain weight and that my pants were getting tighter and tighter. It was gradual and snuck up on me. I tried to eat less calories and take walks but nothing seemed to work and the scale kept creeping up.
In February 2022, my nurse practitioner suggested that I try semaglutide to see if it helped me combat the weight gain. In four months I lost 32 pounds. In July 2022 my nurse practitioner introduced me to a new medicine called Mounjaro (tirzepatide) that had even more promising results. From July to the end of September I lost another 14 pounds and completely changed the way my body looked. I joined a gym and started consistently going 5-6 days a week.
On the semaglutide and tirzepatide I had limited side effects if I watched what I ate. As long as I didn’t overeat I felt fine. If I ate too much I would feel very uncomfortable and have some heartburn. My way to fix that was to be careful and not overeat.
I was able to maintain my weight loss with diet and exercise and an occasional maintenance dose since the end of September 2022. Semaglutide and Mounjaro changed the way I look at food. The medication taught me what portion sizes are optimal for my body and I don’t overeat anymore. I have energy to exercise, go to work, and be a full time parent. Now even off the medications with consistent diet and exercise I’ve been able to maintain my weight loss.
Semaglutide and tirzepatide completely changed my life for the better and I am so happy that I was introduced to it. Debbie changed my life with TeleHealthNP. Without these medications, I never would have been able to lose the weight that I did.
