100+ POUNDS DOWN IN MY FIRST YEAR ON MOUNJARO. 🤯
Yep. That's me in BOTH pictures.
And since you're seeing this on the Hot Mess Chamoy page, I figured it was probably time you knew a little more about the woman behind all this mess. ❤️🌶️
I could write the typical weight-loss post about how I completely changed my life, never get hungry anymore, eat perfectly, and became a totally different person...
But that wouldn't be my story.
So here's the real one.
When my doctor put me on Mounjaro, the weight just started coming off.
I DID diet in the beginning, especially during those first three months, and that's when a huge portion of my weight came off. But I'm not going to sit here and pretend I've spent the last year surviving on grilled chicken and vegetables. 😂
And that whole "you won't be hungry on Mounjaro" thing?
Yeah... somebody forgot to tell my stomach.
I GET HUNGRY. 😂
The difference is that I can't eat nearly as much as I used to. Mounjaro drastically reduced how much food I can eat. Sometimes that's great.
Sometimes I'm sitting there looking at something absolutely delicious, FULL after a few bites, genuinely offended because I WASN'T DONE YET. 😭😂
But there was another change I never expected.
Before starting Mounjaro, I was drinking b**r pretty much every night when I came home to relax. I didn't really think about how many extra calories I was adding every single night.
The day I took my first shot, I didn't want a b**r anymore.
Not "I decided I shouldn't have one."
I genuinely didn't want one.
And I didn't drink again for an entire year.
That still blows my mind.
Somewhere in the middle of losing 100+ pounds, working my regular full-time job, being a wife and mom, and just living life...
Hot Mess Chamoy was born. 🌶️🔥
And if you've ever wondered how somebody who can barely finish her own food decided to start a business covering candy in chamoy...
Listen, I don't have an explanation for everything. 😂😂
But Hot Mess became something I genuinely love building.
So when you order a bag of candy, a pickle kit, Drip Dust, chamoy, or whatever crazy thing I come up with next, there's a real person over here making it, packing it, answering messages, building the website, celebrating every order and occasionally wondering what the hell she got herself into. 😂❤️
This isn't a "Mounjaro changed everything and now my life is perfect" post.
I'm still me.
I still get hungry.
I still love food.
I still have days where I make terrible food choices.
I just can't eat nearly as much of those terrible choices anymore. 😂
But when I put these pictures next to each other...
100+ pounds in one year.
That's pretty damn incredible to me.
So, hi. 👋
I'm the Hot Mess behind Hot Mess Chamoy.
And apparently I've been having a pretty big year. ❤️🌶️🔥
