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.
