The day started a bit lousy. Weekends mean there’s extra work at home, which kept me busy for a couple of hours. Despite taking my meds on time, I wasn’t feeling well. Since it’s the end of the week, my dose of Ozempic must be very low in my body, and I’ve been eating much more than usual. My weight is 90.3 kg.
I’ve noticed that extreme pressure triggers anxiety-induced hunger, even on Ozempic, especially for junk food. However, I can’t ignore the fact that I’m not craving burgers and pizza, but I did find myself looking for snacks in the kitchen. I ended up eating a few here and there. One trick I use is drinking lemon water with salt, which really helps. When I was at home in China, I used to add sparkling water instead of plain water. Soda water really helps to “settle down” feelings of hunger. Actual hunger needs actual food, but for most of us, about 80%, it’s anxiety calling for dopamine in various forms, including alcohol. Speaking of alcohol, I did take 2–3 sips. I no longer enjoy it as I used to, but I also can’t say I didn’t enjoy it at all.
In the afternoon, I dealt with something unexpected, which spiked my anxiety levels to the next level. But eventually, everything went well.
I ate rotis, rice, vegetables, and a few other things here and there, but no deep-fried or junk food.
