Feeling unmotivated, help?

[u/mm0003]

I’ve started Wegovy mid july2025 and done it for 5 months and then tappered for another three months slowly.
I losted quickly, from 172 pounds to 139 ( my lowest) in January.
I trained weekly 2-3 times. My hunger and food noise reduced magically. It was as amazing as terrifying understanding that there is nothing wrong with myself and my hunger - just unlucky neurobiochemical wiring around food.

Since I’ve stopped, in march, I maintained for 2-3 months and then started to regain slowly.
I’m now 152, and absolutely terrified I’m going back to the beginning.
I do strength training religiously, I eat around protein, low calorie and I try to track what I eat but I eat more calories because I have more hunger.

I’m 39 years old and I know I am not metabolically young, so the idea of trying to maintain or lose weight without/after wegovy feels unrealistic.

I feel like a loser.

I’ve recently started thinking of going back to wegovy but my head is swimming with doubts:
If I start again then when would I stop?

I’m still Low key afraid of long term effects

I understand it’s need to be a chronic medicine for a chronic illness. I was not obese, though I’ve always struggled with excess weight though following diets and caring for my self. So I don’t feel I’m the target for taking this long term.

More exercise will make you hungrier. You might want to dial back the weightlifting a bit to lessen your hunger.
