Life Update
my body has a lot to say
Good Morning, Dolls!
I have to tell you what’s been happening with my body.
But first, a little context.
I’m going to the South by South West festival for the first time next month. Which means I have a few short weeks to get my whole life together. My wardrobe is too big. My body is mid-transition. And I am in the middle of the most honest reset of my life.
This Manhattan girl is officially on her a GLP-1 journey.
For every pound I release, I take four pounds of pressure off my knees. That’s not a beauty standard. That’s biomechanics. That’s why I started. Not aesthetics. Longevity. Mobility. The ability to walk through this city without bracing myself.
The medication was the easy part.
Turns out, everything else needed a system.
The thing nobody warned me about.
GLP-1 medications work by slowing your digestion down.
That’s the clinical version.
The real version is — if you want to ahem go number two, you have to be very intentional about it.
I know. I know.
But my passion for women’s health is apparently bigger than my phobia of talking about bodily functions in public. So here we are.
I’m headed to Austin in two weeks. My tummy gets shy when she travels. Which means right now I am being very deliberate about what I put in my body every single day.
I’m loading my water with two specific products.
I’m following a protocol.
And because life is busy (if I haven’t responded to your email or DM, please forgive me!) I built a whole guide around it — the unglamorous parts, the infrastructure, the things I wish someone had handed me when I started.
It lives at ceceolisa.com.
You can think of it as a GLP-1 companion. Just for you.
What’s coming.
I’m going to walk you through everything I’m learning in the first few months of treating my obesity with a GLP-1.
The skin that didn’t get the memo when my body started changing.
The wardrobe that stopped fitting all at once — and how I’m staying dressed without buying a whole new closet every month.
The knee support that’s making SXSW possible.
The gym uniform for the body I have right now, not the one I’m waiting for.
The crown protocol — because my sisterlocks are infrastructure too.
And then we’ll head to Austin with the whole system working, God willing.
Before and afters are cute.
But this is about the unglamorous middle.
And I’m not going through it alone.
Come with me.
