So, I've shared this with a couple of people already but I am about to go on one of those drugs. I have a pack of Liraglutide (aka Saxenda) in my fridge, and am starting them tomorrow.
I can't quite tell why, but I'm honestly very nervous.
I was on a weight loss streak last year like I never had before. Got to my lowest weight in a decade, was in top-notch sporty shape, feeling super comfortable in my body. Most importantly, my metabolism changed and I was no longer craving food all the time.
But after my partner's death , I kind of just gave up. It was like a slow-motion car crash, I saw everything happening. At first, I was over-eating despite not being hungry, just because it was comfort food. Then I was just over-eating. And then, I was just hungry all the time again. It took months, but I undid all my progress, and now I am not in good enough shape to even return skating.
My hope with the treatment is that it helps me lose that weight again; gets me back to this place where my metabolism had gotten to naturally. In other words, my goal is to stop taking it as soon as possible. But we shall see.

I’m sorry that’s happened to you. I’ve been there before, where I’ve erased all my weight-loss progress due to food being my main coping mechanism. It really does suck, and it turns into a viscous cycle and just adds to the stress and depression.
But good luck with this new drug, I hope it works out for you.
Hey, Adys. You found a new tool. Changing things is often scary even if you’re changing in the way you want to. The most important thing is keeping your goal in mind.

That sounds very difficult. I'm sorry that happened, and I hope this drug helps ease things for you.
