A Life-Changing Journey: From Struggle to Success

I have always struggled with my weight, losing 50+ pounds only to gain it back and then some. Put my body through weight loss surgery to lose 70lbs only to gain back all but 7 lbs.
My struggle was not knowing how to eat and or exercise but not fully understanding “food noise”. I would ask family or friends if they thought/obsessed about their next meal or stopping at the store on the way to work for a bag of chocolate, chips or popcorn and to my surprise most people did not. So I knew something was not right, then I spoke with my doctor asking for help and so I started zepbound and then that was in short supply.
So I did research and found the amazing Emerge! What a life changing medicine and company!
I cannot believe how I no longer have the food noise and I actually feel “normal”. Such an amazing feeling!
I am currently on 10 and feel as though I will stay here perhaps maybe for the duration. I am still losing.8 to 2 lbs most weeks. I’m able to go on vacation and enjoy (not overboard) and most times come back with a loss or a minimal gain that is gone the following week. I’ve learned to focus first on protein and veggies. I’ve had minimal side effects that are very manageable. And I have 7lbs until my goal!!
