What’s in My Bag as a Gen X Mom on a GLP-1 💊👜

If you’re a Gen X mom like me, you know the bag has always been our survival kit. Back in the day, it held cassette tapes, lip gloss, and maybe a pager. Fast forward to 2025, and now my bag looks more like a cross between a mom-life emergency kit and a GLP-1 survival pouch.

And if you’re on this weight loss journey too, you’ll probably laugh at how relatable this list is.

👜 The Essentials: Gen X Mom Edition

  • Wallet + Reading Glasses → because nothing says Gen X like squinting at the Starbucks app.

  • Phone Charger → for endless Google searches like “GLP-1 hair loss normal??”.

  • Snacks for the Kids → even though you can’t look at another protein bar without gagging.

  • Reusable Water Bottle → hydration = the new wine.

  • Dry Shampoo → because let’s be honest, side effects + mom life = no time to wash daily.

💊 The GLP-1 Must-Haves

  • Electrolyte Packets → because plain water doesn’t always cut it when the nausea wave hits.

  • High-Protein Snacks → Gen X moms know: almonds, jerky, or protein bars are life (and purse) savers.

  • Ginger Mints → don’t underestimate these little heroes for calming that GLP-1 tummy.

  • Biotin Gummies → because protecting the hairline is officially part of the wellness plan.

  • Mini Notebook → every side effect gets a note, because Googling it at 2am is basically a sport now.

😂 The Just-in-Case Items

  • Tums or Pepto Minis → Gen X stomachs + GLP-1 = always be prepared.

  • Extra Layers → hot flashes + nausea sweats are a real combo.

  • ChapStick → because somehow your lips are drier than your 90s prom corsage.

  • Sunglasses → not just for style, but so no one sees you side-eyeing people who can eat two slices of pizza without blinking.

Why This Matters

For Gen X moms, our bags have always told our story — from diaper days to PTA meetings to GLP-1 life. Sharing “what’s in my bag” isn’t just about stuff… it’s about survival, humor, and proving we can handle anything (while looking fabulous).

So, if you’re on a GLP-1 journey, don’t forget to pack your patience, your sense of humor, and maybe a few extra ginger chews. Trust me — your bag will thank you.
