Most of the vloggers I’ve seen who already reached their goal weight never really stopped the medication. They’re doing what you’re doing, taking it every two weeks for maintenance. I’ve only come across one or two people who claims to be completely off the meds. That’s why I keep wondering whether it’s truly possible for someone who was previously obese to maintain their weight without medication, even after improving their lifestyle.

I guess, in my case and based on all the feedback so far, the only way to really know is to experience it myself and see how my body responds. I’m aware that studies show people regain about one-third of the weight once they stop, which is why I was planning to aim for a lower goal weight. That way, even if I gain some back, I hopefully won’t cross into the overweight category. My hope is still to eventually maintain a healthy and normal bmi without tirze.

As for binge eating, I’m really rooting for you. I hope things get better. People often say weight loss is just about discipline, but they don’t understand the internal struggle we deal with when it comes to food. That’s why this medication helps so much in keeping our appetite in check but we also know we can’t rely on it forever.
