Throughout the day, I felt fine—there were no cravings or hunger pangs that could derail my plan to eat simple and healthy. However, around 7:00 in the evening, everything changed. A sudden urge to eat Samosas or instant noodles hit me. It felt as if the samosas were calling, followed by thoughts of other unhealthy snacks. After battling these cravings for 30 minutes and finishing my last client meeting of the evening, I realized something: it’s Friday, my calendar is empty, and yes, it’s Friday—the day my Ozempic doses starts to weaken, explaining these intense cravings for junk food. I found my excuse, gave in, and indulged in a not-so-healthy snack (Aloo Bhujia) before eating something else.
This brings me to a critical point: one day, I will stop taking Ozempic. Will all these cravings return to haunt me? What about alcohol? Alcohol is liquid carbs, and that’s the part of why I ended up in this situation in the first place. But I also know that once you reach a healthier weight, your insulin resistance improves significantly, which is a huge help in maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I will create systems to follow so that I don’t mess up this second chance life has given me. But it’s okay to question and face your doubts, right?
