What women tell me after GLP-1 weight loss 

 

When women come to me after losing weight on Wegovy (semaglutide) or Mounjaro (tirzepatide), they often share their worries in a quiet voice.

 

Like they’re the only ones still anxious about food, still second-guessing every decision, still scared of doing it “wrong.” 

 

And worried that they'll be judged.

 

You may be feeling like this, too. 

Here’s what I hear most often:

 

Fear of food noise and weight regain creeping in: 

• "I'm tapering the doses but my food noise is back. I'm frightened that I'll put all the weight back on"
• I can feel my old habits creeping back in, the snacking, the chocolate cravings etc. I am trying to keep an eye on it"
• “I keep thinking one bad choice will undo everything"
• "I'm anxious about how I'll manage without Mounjaro"
• "I feel out of control now with my appetite & food noise"
• "I've lost weight before and always put it back on again. This time I want it to be different"

 

Food and weight taking over head space: 

• "Every meal feels like a test"
• “I weigh myself every morning and it ruins my day if it’s gone up.”
• "I miss the thrill of seeing the scales drop. Maintenance is so boring"

 

Shame overshadowing success 

• "I know what I should be eating but I can't seem to make it part of my thinking. I haven't included good habits in my eating or exercise. And I know that I need to!"

 

And you know what?
