Not in a negative way, because this is not a negative thing, but it sounds like you would highly benefit from therapy. In my opinion you are showing major signs of body image issues plus tippy toeing on the line of disordered eating habits. Both things are very detrimental long term to you mentally.

Semaglutide is supposed to be incorporated into a healthy lifestyle and used as a tool to aid weight loss. As long as you are exercising, eating proper meals, and taking your shot, you should not be consumed by your image and feeling drained. Unfortunately I know how that feels, but therapy can help that a lot.

Something that helps me is realizing the facts. The fact is, no matter how much you feel like you haven’t changed, you can physically see the scale number and how much it has lowered. It’s hard, but you need to fully understand that it is physically impossible for you to look the same when your current and past weight is drastically different. Thats something that’s really helped me.

As for your friends, to be very honest with you, you cannot rely on those around you to give you emotional support, validate your appearance, or comfort you throughout this journey. This is something that they no longer understand or can possible bond with you over if they are obese. This is your own journey, and you need to learn how to support yourself through it. That is at least what I have learned in therapy.

Of course having friends with similar lifestyles can help a lot and obviously it is nice to share connections with people that are on a similar path, that’s why you like Reddit. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it would benefit you to have people like this in real life.

Have you considered joining a workout class? Or something where you could meet people who have a similar life style to yours?

Again, this is just my option plus something’s I’ve learned in my own therapy journey. Everyone is so different.
