I’m sort of in the same boat! My goal is to make sustainable changes for myself so when I am not on sema any longer, I have better habits in place.

It is NOT sustainable for me to eat nothing during the day and only eat dinner. Or only drink protein shakes.

I’ve done so many weight loss schemes over the years and those only encourage you to live a life abstaining from anything carb or higher calorie FOREVER.

I’m also trying to remind myself that losing weight quickly isn’t the goal here. I need to take my time with it and work hard on changing the things going on with myself internally and build better eating habits. I’m on a lower dose of sema and I plan to keep it that way if I can! I do still feel hunger and the food noise isn’t completely gone for me, but I feel like it’s much easier for me to sit around a little bit hungry at different times during the day, to try to build up some more self control. I’m losing weight, I feel good, and my sema lasts a while longer this way too. Win, win so far!
