After turning 40, I started noticing changes that hit harder than I expected. I’ve always struggled with my weight, but the last two years have been next level. Even when I eat less, my body doesn’t seem to respond. I get tired faster, my cravings are intense in the evenings, and my motivation to move just isn’t there. I recently started semaglutide injections, and while they do suppress my appetite, I’m honestly still trying to figure out how to adjust my routine around it. Like, do I force myself to eat when I’m not hungry? Or wait it out?

The longer I deal with the ups and downs of staying healthy, the more I believe it’s less about perfection and more about awareness. Knowing what your triggers are, noticing when you’re drained, recognizing small wins—that's what adds up over time. I’ve also found that stress doesn’t always show up as tension; sometimes it’s subtle, like snacking mindlessly or staying up too late. Making space to check in with yourself, even just for a few minutes a day, can change everything.
Totally get where you’re coming from. When I began using semaglutide, I was confused too—especially about how much I should be eating when hunger basically disappears. I ended up tracking my meals (without going overboard) and focusing more on hydration and small, nutrient-dense portions. One thing that helped me feel more in control was reading up on it at healthcare provider audeotherapy.com. Their take on how semaglutide works with your natural signals rather than against them made it easier for me to trust the process and not panic when my old routines stopped making sense.
