Zepbound has taught me good habits. I hope it lasts when I stop.
I started 10 months ago at 479 lbs… I am currently am at 340. I’m on Lilly direct because I didn’t want to deal with insurance nonsense. I get a little emotional talking about this because I feel like this drug has made so much difference in my life. Don’t get me wrong, I have done a lot of hard work. Eating right, drastically, increasing exercise, not eating for 12 hours each day. It’s all lean protein, vegetables and “the right“ kinds of carbs. I’m doing about 1200 cal a day and I don’t have much food noise although I’ve noticed that is starting to creep back a little bit. I guess my fear is that someday I will need to go off this drug or rather, I will want to go off this drug. It’s costing me a lot of money, and something inside of me says that you can’t stay on a drug like this forever. So if/when Zep goes away, I wonder if all the good habits and things I’ve learned to do will sustain me. I feel like I’ve learned how to do a lot of the things that I never learned to do when I was gaining weight. Or will those habits and learnings disappear and I will slide back into my old habits and practices. I wonder if anyone out there is going through this?
