I Gained 40 lbs on Ozempic

Ep. 142 You can take the medication, follow the plan, and still feel betrayed by your own body when the “quick fix” doesn't fix what was really going on. In this deeply personal conversation, Kelly Marie opens up about living with diabetes, recovering from back surgery, and gaining 36 pounds while on Ozempic. She breaks down the uncomfortable truth many people avoid: medication can curb physical hunger, but it doesn’t heal emotional eating, stress, or the mental patterns driving our choices. This episode isn’t about shame or shock value. It’s about responsibility, awareness, and compassion—for yourself and your body. Key takeaways: ✨ Emotional health directly impacts weight management ✨ Ozempic addresses hunger, not emotional coping ✨ Small daily decisions matter more than big resolutions ✨ “Every day is a new year” when it comes to your health ✨ Progress starts with honesty, not perfection Remember chasing a shortcut often distracts us from the deeper work—and that sustainable wellness begins when you stop looking for fixes and start listening to yourself. 🔗 Register for the free Mindfulness event at Events — Front Seat Life, LLC Other Episodes You'll Enjoy Feeling Loss: The Emotional Journey of Disability Diabetes Diagnosis: How I Turned My Life Around with Ozempic Resources: Crisis helpline phone numbers: Dial 988 for immediate assistance or 741741 for text support Use 211 as the helpline for resources 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 🎙️ Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC 📲 Instagram @‌thefrontseatlife FB @‌thefrontseatlife, Email [e-mail] 🎧 Produced & edited by JazzCast Pros 🔗 Click Here to rate & review on Apple Podcasts 🚀 Rate & Share this Podcast from Spotify 🔐 Add this show to your collection on Pandora. 💪 Support the Show with a one-time donation on PayPal Learn more about your ad choices.
