Navigating the Mental Tug of War During Long-Term GLP-1 Weight Loss

The Life During And After GLP-1 Podcast

Show Notes

In this episode of Life During and After GLP-1, I’m talking directly to those of you who have already been on a GLP-1 for a while and have experienced significant weight loss, especially those who have lost 80, 100, 150 pounds or more and still feel like you have more weight to lose.

I don’t think enough people are talking about the unique challenges that come with being in this “in-between” phase.

You’ve already changed your life in major ways, but you’re also trying to figure out what happens next.

Do you keep pushing forward? Slow down? Take a break? Focus on maintenance? Reassess your goals completely?

This stage of the journey can feel emotionally complicated because you’re balancing success, uncertainty, identity shifts, future goals, and the fear of losing the progress you’ve already made.

In this episode, I talk about the mental tug of war that can happen during long-term weight loss, why “just keep doing the same thing” is not always the full answer, and why checking in with yourself beyond the scale matters so much.

You deserve to build a forever active lifestyle that supports both your physical and emotional well-being long term.
