Talk about weight gain/weight loss/body image/eating disorder
Looking to see if anyone else is in a similar situation.
In 2023 I started glp1 meds (wegovy). I lost 120lbs from 2023-2025. I felt amazing and maintained weight for a while. I lowered my dose in June and then came off wegovy 2 months ago, and gained about 10lbs total since lowering. The last week I’ve gained 3lbs - which logically I know is because my appetite has been up and I’ve been eating more since my pregnancy symptoms started, and I also am aware that it’s likely water retention and not actual fat gain. I’m only 5 weeks 1 day, and I’m TERRIFIED of gaining a ton of weight back. I works so hard to get it off, and previously had been overweight for my entire post puberty life. Any recommendations on how to make sure I’m eating enough for the pregnancy, but not where I’m gaining an enormous amount of weight? Counting calories is hard for me, I become obsessive and then get fed up and end up binging. - I do have binge eating disorder as well, but my ADHD meds help curb that most of the time.
Not sure if I’m looking for actual advice, needed to vent my worry, or looking for solidarity. I think I’m just hoping im not alone in it.
