[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am on Wegovy. I see why it is difficult to get off it. I just don’t think about food so much. If I got off it, I would probably start again. FWIW my eating/exercise habits prior to starting were really good. Extremely heavy weights (200lb deadlift), no sugar, high protein etc. I just put on 15lbs once hitting peri-menopause with same eating/exercise habits. The calories I now require have dropped by around 40% - it is hard to just start eating like that. [/quote]

I could've written this same thing.  I'm on compounded semaglutide and the way it has decreased my food noise is such a gift.  I too was working out regularly and consistently, and meeting my protein goals, etc. but I always was thinking about food and eating out of boredom. I gained 30 pounds in perimenopause and was getting really depressed at how nothing fit.  I've been on the GLP-1 since May have lost 25 so far, and feel great. If I need to stay on a maintenance dose for [insert long length of time here], that's fine with me.  I take meds for anxiety and don't have any plans to go off of those just to see how well I can manage my anxiety without them, so I look at this the same way.[/quote]
