The mental battle is so real. Thanks for sharing in such an honest vulnerable way

[@loveoriginall]

Try phentermine. It’s slower but it gives your mind time to adjust to the food and lifestyle

[@vickygdillon]

I could relate to everything you said. The mental relief from these medications is like getting a new life! Would people tell someone who is lactose intolerant to not take medication, just don't eat dairy. These medications help with our hormones that regulate hunger. They are a huge blessing to people who have tried everything. I'm so glad future generations won't have to suffer with obesity and everything that goes a long with it.

Thanks for these videos. Am about to start Wegovy, at 0.3 initial dose for a month. The way you describe always thinking about food and weight is where I've been for 20 years, through yo-yo-ing weight. Good to hear somebody else articulate where my head's been at.

[@SierraRobichaud]

You are definitely not alone! I hope it goes well for you :)

[@jonisanchez6065]

This video was so relatable to my case! Thank you thank you for posting this! We never really realize who is experiencing similar things and issues in their lives. I really appreciate this! ❤

[@krissynh9886]

I 100% agree with you about the food noise. I've been on it for 3 weeks and honestly if I didn't lose another lb I would keep taking it for the relief from my obsessive thoughts about food and incessant thoughts about what a bad person I am for wanting to eat.

[@kenkoch1952]

I enjoy cooking and eating the foods I want Thow mostly healthy foods. Eating is one of my only pleasures left in life, I feel bad if you don't feel like eating. Enjoy eating screw what people think of how you look.

[@gosiasoroka1347]

Thank you for your update! Please, share more if you can.😊

[@EllaBeth30]

I am already doing all this: low carb diet, only whole foods, physical activity, intermittent fasting. I have plenty of energy, I am just not loosing weight at all. It goes down by half pound and goes right back up. I am scared to take any of these meds as I heard about really bad long side effects like higher cancer risks, pancreatic failure and more.

[@SierraRobichaud]

I felt the same way. I had done keto, was in a good workout routine, tried IF but just kept losing and gaining the same 10 pounds

[@TheErikaB]

Hope it doesn't make you sick again. I know the weight loss battle, its all uphill. Good luck

[@SierraRobichaud]

Thanks so much!

[@krisi8358]

Thank you for posting!! Keep posting updates!!

[@tibisayhuerta]

Yup! The mental battle is REAL...!

[@anisedeer]

Thank you for sharing this. I hope I have the same mental change.

[@SierraRobichaud]

Thank you! I hope so too!

[@Kmarie77]

I would love to hear an update on your journey. 😊❤

[@fraser-b3494]

I've watched a few of your videos on Wegovy just now, so thank you for making them. I was curious how much it costs on your side of the pond (I'm in Scotland) and its soo expensive for you if what I saw was correct. Also in the UK if you have not had any of these sorts of treatments before, we need to start on the lowest dose for the first month which is 0.25. So fingers crossed for no side affects from it.

[@SierraRobichaud]

it really depends. if you get brand name from the pharmacy with no insurance it can be $1000-1500. compound versions are much cheaper

[@YolyV.-xt9qo]

Hi Sierra, I know exactly what you mean about the mental noise and how it can impact you so terribly, mine got so bad I started having suicidal thoughts! That scared me enough to start working with an eating recovery dietician and therapist. It's been 6 years of hard work but I am in such a healthier place with it. Wanted to share in case you would want to look into that type of support.

[@SierraRobichaud]

That's amazing that you were able to find support! Thanks so much for sharing :)

[@Youwinmeta]

Good for you ❤

[@SierraRobichaud]

Thank you

[@imalihm8528]

I would say the fluctuations are gonna happen as soon as you stop my idea ( what helps me personally i gain when i stop about 10lbs) i would lose above my goal 10-15 lbs and stay there for 3 months at least( our body fixes it self in a way every 3 months )and then ween urself off of it not completely stop so you can stay in control this is exactly what am gonna fo as soon as am gonna reach my goal

[@cararose29]

Thanks for sharing. Hope you are doing well.

[@anneogdenhinners]

Very well said about the brain and thinking about food!!❤

[@SierraRobichaud]

Thank you!

[@susanbaumgard2473]

Absolutely, the brain torture is real !!

[@michellemunoz5133]

Curious about how it’s going? Update please?

[@kzp5249]

How you doing now? Wishing you all the best.

[@lf9341]

Ty..the medication made you tired? What dose are you on?

[@SierraRobichaud]

I’m on 1.0mg right now and yes still a bit tired. Not as bad as when I was on 1.7mg though

[@lulut2746]

Thanks for sharing

[@kassijam6991]

Hello, Just love love love yourself as you are, just eat in reasonnable way, eat in a specific time with love of yourself, forgive yourself, you are okay as you are, dont struggle, your body will react in good way when you accept yourself, put some good habits in food eating without expectig any result, here is good trick, just think about the benefits you can get from the food you are eating, eat food with love and thanking god that you can eat...

[@fitbyife]

How has it been going recently ?

[@kingag.5991]

Please update!

[@Kmcmack1349]

How’s it going for you now?

[@elainevasquez4406]

Hi love I would like to ask how much did you pay ?

[@SierraRobichaud]

It was covered by my insurance so just copays

[@kerry3852]

Can u drink on this medicine

[@krissynh9886]

Yes, you can but for me, I lost the desire to drink more than one.

[@Kevin-ht1ox]

You probably rebound by 10lbs because you're recovering water weight. So whatever your target maintenance weight is, subtract 10lbs and that's where you will end up with proper maintenance. When you have an unexpected 10lb weight gain, you get discouraged and probably lose a bit of discipline with your maintenance diet.

[@kenkoch1952]

You said last time it would build up I bet by now she is off of it and has gained the weight back. Thats why she hasn't been back.

[@SierraRobichaud]

LOLLLL false

[@kenkoch1952]

@@SierraRobichaud Then lets see you now. Whats going on now are you still on it?

[@raykrv6a]

Did you get with a dietitian and get a food plan? Get a trainer at the gym and tell him your goal to lose weight.

[@Luke-tm6oo]

Track the calories; start with protein, carbs, than fats. You were eating shit 🤦‍♂️ know wonder you rebound. You shouldn’t drink empty calories on these drug’s, especially alcohol.

[@SierraRobichaud]

That’s exactly what I’m doing now. I cut the shit and alcohol 🤓

[@krissynh9886]

You don't know her and she was very clear that she was watching what she was eating and drinking. Maybe you didn't watch the whole video. But if you are just commenting to be hurtful, it would be nice if you could just keep that to yourself.

[@rr78884]

Stop torturing yourself, try tirzepetide 2.5, and that dose can be maintained. Just IMO- no health care agent here

[@kathya1956]

Maybe it’s addictive.

[@krissynh9886]

It's a peptide not an actual medication. That is like saying taking insulin is addictive.

[@SR_4378]

I considered Wegovy until I read that once a person stops taking it, they will most likely rebound to their old habits and gain the weight back. I really don't want to be on this for the rest of my life because no one really knows the long-term side effects of it. I think that's why experts always advocate lifestyle changes for sustained weight loss. Still, as someone who has recently returned to an active lifestyle and diet, I can't help but be jealous of how much more quickly those on Wegovy are able to lose weight while avoiding food cravings.

[@SierraRobichaud]

It is definitely nice to not have to worry so much about your weight but it is so effective but I do agree lifestyle change is the healthiest option long term.

[@lifelovejourney]

That's true. But I do know the long term side effects of being 100 pounds overweight.

[@Luke-tm6oo]

These medications are not new. They are diabetic meds have been around for years. They are some of the safest medicines. The worst that will happen is you feel sick for a week if it effects you.

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

@@lifelovejourneythis is what is settling on my brain - when I’ve tried so much to lose weight and it’s ineffective, I know the long term health consequences of carrying extra weight. If the trade off is long term effect of meds, maybe that’s right for some folks.
