Nervous to start weight loss injections and worried about side effects

[Ismo456]

It’s been sitting in my fridge for a week and I can’t pluck up the courage to take the first jab!

im so depressed about my weight and shape - 3 babies and I seem to have accumulated weight from each and if I was more disciplined and had a better relationship with food and more time to myself to exercise I would probably be able to shift it. But I’m just stuck in a rut of not caring how much I eat anymore because I’m overweight anyway.

I would be happy to lose 1.5 stone, and over the moon to lose 2. That’s all I need!

I know this is something I need to do for myself, I don’t want to have to dread another summer and spend it trying to cover myself up. But I just can’t find the courage to start!

terrified of the side effects, and feel selfish if I make myself ill by doing this and end up struggling to look after the kids?

I know this sounds extreme, but I have pretty bad health anxiety as it is and I just worry so much about getting bad side effects.

can anyone help me out some positive pants on and get this done!

*now on a 3/4 dose

@ritala , I'm sorry you experienced nausea at low doses, but in a way you're lucky that you can take smaller doses and have great results! @Ismo456 trying a smaller dose seems like a good next step for the second week. Since you're both super responders, you'll both save so much $ by using such small amounts and attaining the desired effects!

Thanks @rebus- yes it was a huge shock especially as I was worried I may not respond at all! I’m still on my first pen six weeks in.

You’ll still need to lose it yourself longterm. Right now, think about those kids and start.

Perhaps try a half dose next week and see how that goes. Just count 30 clicks?

Just do a half dose next week, 30 clicks. I did that for my first 6 weeks, still lost a stone. Sorry you're not feeling well. It does pass.
