I hit a plateau in my diet, so I went to get a prescription for weight loss injections.

I joined the gym a few months ago and have been working out pretty hard and strictly controlling my diet with chicken breast salads, but after losing exactly 3 kilos, my weight hasn't budged since. ㅠㅠ Since the number on the scale hasn't changed for over a month, I suddenly hit a wall of self-doubt, binge-ate over the weekend, and now I'm on the verge of a yo-yo effect; I felt like everything went dark. I felt like I absolutely couldn't overcome this terrible diet plateau with willpower alone, so I decided to turn to medical help. Haha.

In the past, I was too scared to even look at appetite suppressant pills, but lately I heard that injections that drastically reduce appetite while providing systematic management and body composition analysis are trending, so I went for a consultation haha. The director looked at my InBody results and said my body fat percentage was still on the high side, so he recommended a type of obesity injection that I could personally inject into my stomach at home every day. At first, I was terrified wondering how I would actually stick a needle into my own stomach ㅠㅠ but after watching the demonstration, he said the needle is thinner than a pencil lead so you wouldn't even feel the piercing, so I mustered up the courage.

I came home, rubbed my stomach with an antiseptic swab with trembling hands, and gave myself my first injection. It went right in without even a slight sting; it was ridiculously painless, haha. The effects of the weight-loss injections started to kick in the next day, and it is truly a whole new world. Usually, I would be hungry again right after lunch and browsing delivery apps in the evening, but I feel full all day long, so I don't even think about food. Even if there is chicken right in front of me, I put my spoon down after just two pieces, haha.

I'm now in my second week, and I'm so happy because the waist of the pants I couldn't wear before because they were too tight is now loose. Since my appetite is suppressed, I don't have the stress of forcing myself to starve, and because my stomach capacity feels smaller, I'm less worried about the yo-yo effect. Of course, I did experience some minor side effects like nausea at first, but I got used to it and it went away quickly. If you're stressed about hitting a weight loss plateau like me, or struggling to control your appetite, I think consulting a doctor and trying weight loss injections is a really good idea. I'll keep fighting until the day I reach my target weight!
