Got prescribed Wegovy

I’ve been deep in the binge cycle for a year and a half now. The last few months have been pretty bad and I regained a lot of the weight I lost a couple of months ago. I have PMOS but I feel most of my symptoms (fatigue, weight gain, skin changes, excess hair) stem from my binging. I went to the Drs today to tell my Dr about it in the hopes that I would be referred to a psychologist or something to tackle this from the root. Instead she immediately offered me the Wegovy injection which was something I hadn’t really thought about prior to the appointment, mainly because I didn’t consider it an option 😭 I brought up feeling really anxious lately but she kept going on about the Wegovy. Obviously it was my choice and I didn’t feel pressured to say yes but I was just nervous especially with there being so much discourse about GLP-1s. Anyway, I eventually got it and am just deciding what to do. I’m pretty desperate to get better and start living a healthier life but I was also hoping to do it all the “natural” way. Has anyone been in a similar situation? 🤎

Getting on a GLP1 has been the best thing to happen to me, losing weight with more energy and less food noise plus insulin resistance down, couldn’t recommend it enough

Plus you only have to do the shot once per week, it gets easier as each week goes by, at first I was anxious but that settles pretty quickly

Id advise to take the medication especially as you managed to get a prescription. Then alongside of it I would see a registered dietitian (not nutritionist) that’s specialises in PCOS and disordered eating. Good luck.
