Your comments in your original post (first time in life haven't obsessed about weight) and this one (price to pay to not obsess about my weight) indicates a bigger medical issue that you should address. You are not fat and apparently not unhealthy. Your obsession with your weight is a psychological problem. You should try a psychologist. Of course, that's more expensive and harder work.

You should see a psychologist. Semagultide is a GLP-1 agonist (GLP-1 is natural hormone in your body), not some scary controlled substance with frightening side effects. A minority of people feel nauseous at high doses, but OP specifically said she prefers a low dose. People who don't eat enough protein or lift weights might have more muscle loss than they'd like and, thus, a lower BMR after they go off the medication, but that's on them for failing to eat enough protein or lift weights. Taking a low dose to stay at 124 lbs if you're ~ 5'6 is exactly within the range of a healthy BMI and a healthy amount of body fat for a 40-year-old woman. American women have normalized too much body fat. 124 lbs is a healthy, fit adult weight for most women. I think it's a little weird that OP is getting semaglutide through her aesthetician, but as long as the compound pharmacy is legit, it's probably okay.

Monkeying with your body’s biochemistry in this way to accomplish something that can be handled with some self discipline is dumb and shortsighted. Shortcuts have consequences, that’s just the reality.
