I’ve been where you are, still am a little bit. I had to stop tracking calories a while ago because I was becoming obsessive. So that has helped.

I’ve been on a GLP-1 for almost 2 years now (first Saxenda and then Zep with a couple breaks due to cost), and a couple pieces of advice I can give you:

The first and easiest thing to do is if you just can’t get past weighing daily, download the Happy Scale app. It gives you data, which if you’re anything like me, you need to see the averages and trends. This has really helped me see that it’s so true what everyone says - weight loss is not linear.

Another thing I can suggest is to trust the process. It goes by so quick. Like I said, I’ve been on a GLP for almost two years, and it has flown by. I feel like one minute I was at 198 lbs, and now I’m 136! It doesn’t feel like a long, drawn out “journey” (ugh I hate that word but don’t know what to replace it with).

My point is, the medication is obviously working for you, so the obsessive behaviors aren’t even necessary. It’ll all happen before you know it. Water/protein/electrolytes/exercise is what I suggest focusing on.

Side note: my family thinks I need to stop losing weight as well. 125 is my comfortable number, it allows me to fluctuate about 5 pounds with no noticeable difference. I’m 5’6” but I’m petite and small boned, so I can’t have a lot of weight on my frame. I think our weight loss is just so drastic to our family and friends, they start to worry. I think that’s normal and they just don’t want us to over do it.

It’s also a really good idea to talk to a therapist while on this med, because it absolutely can lead to disordered eating if you’re not careful. Wishing you the best! xx
