Lisa: All my life, my health care providers told me I needed to lose weight. They all advised the same thing: diet and exercise. I continued to diet and lose weight and gain it back. It started, you know, with false hope. Like, “Oh, this time it’s going to be different. This time, I’m gonna do it.”
I love to cook. I found that it came naturally to me, and I took my first cooking lesson when I was probably 11 years old. As I grew older, I just continued to enjoy cooking. And I went to cooking school. Just really found that was my way of showing love for people.
In the past, I would bake these wonderful treats that I was really proud of, and I would take them in to coworkers, or share them with friends, because I knew that I would eat the whole thing if I kept it for myself.
I would never feel full. I was always hungry. I thought about eating food all the time. I thought about how much I was eating. It was as if there was nothing stopping me.
Over time, I started noticing that my weight was beginning to affect my overall health. I became breathless going up a flight of stairs and just my daily activities were becoming more difficult, due to my weight. I started to get really self-conscious. I wondered if my son’s friends thought of him as the kid with the big mom.
I would go in for my physicals, and the health care provider would, after weighing me, point to the chart and show me my BMI, which was always in the obesity column. It got to a point where everything was stacking up—that it was time to do something about my weight.
I spoke to my health care provider, who suggested Wegovy® to help me lose weight and keep it off. My health care provider and I talked about the risks and benefits of Wegovy®. We worked together to make a plan, and decided that Wegovy® would be a good option for me.
I learned that I would give myself a Wegovy® injection once a week in combination with a reduced-calorie meal plan and increased physical activity.
So, once I started Wegovy®, I noticed a change in my appetite. I was able to stop when I was full. I wasn’t thinking about eating food all the time, and I started leaving food on my plate during meals. I realized that my weight was something I could finally manage. It was like something finally clicked for me.
Since starting Wegovy® 20 months ago, I lost 26 pounds, which is about 11 percent of my starting body weight.
Since losing the weight and keeping it off, I am active. What I want people to realize about obesity is that it’s not a lack of willpower. It’s a chronic disease. After years of being told it was my lack of willpower, I finally found a health care provider who listened to me, and supported me, and believed in me. My experience with Wegovy® made me realize, there is help for people like me.
Ask your health care provider what would work best for you. I’m continuing to take Wegovy®, and it’s working for me.
