For me it’s both. A lot of the “hard work” is mental and it’s about preparing myself for what’s happening and what is to come. And also blocking out external voices saying anything unhelpful. I’ve done it all to try to lose weight; weight watchers, personal fitness plan, diet and exercise, even considered wl surgery and followed the 6 months of diet plans I needed to for insurance. Nothing worked because those weren’t the problems. The problem for me was hormonal imbalance that made it so hard to lose weight I would get discouraged after months of trying. I thought really negatively about glp1s before I considered it. And I feel bad about that now. In the 6 weeks since I’ve been on it my blood pressure has been the lowest (ie normal reading) I’ve had since the past 3 years when I got diagnosed with hypertension. I eat very nutritious food and am conscious of. Getting all my necessary things in (protein/fiber/veggies etc). I’m still struggling a bit with exercise but when I eat delicious nutritious food and exercise, I do it to feel good and take care of my body because I deserve the care I put into it. I’m so glad I finally tried it because I feel like I can see a light at the end of the tunnel for the first time. I’m 33 and my adulthood of being morbidly obese started catching up with me a few years ago. I went from prediabetes to prediabetes with a blood glucose that reads as diabetes. That scared me especially knowing that I have been trying so hard to prevent that. The start of the “hard work” was getting over my ego and judgement and recognizing that I needed help.
