25% of my body weight gone. It’s still hard to wrap my head around how quickly this has happened. I started only seven months ago counting calories and taking the shots. Now, with only four shots left, I am finding the place where I expect my weight to rest. I have been looking at finally buying some new clothes other than the thrift shop items I’ve been buying the last few months to get by. I need a new wardrobe. Even my winter coat feels like I’m swimming in it. It’s exciting—I feel like I get to finally dress for the way I see myself.
I am coming to terms with the idea that I may not hit the 189 goal weight. As I’ve gotten closer and closer, it has felt less and less relevant to hit that milestone. The most important thing was to get to a place where I felt truly healthy. And I feel like I am mostly there. I believe If I continue to eat and burn the same calories I am right now, I will settle somewhere between 190 and 200. That is more than my goal weight, but astounding considering where I was last summer.
As I look forward toward the “maintain” phase, I can’t help but see my next three goals. Goal one: See the sub-200 weight. Goal two: Maintain sub-200 for a few months through continued calorie counting after Wegovy ends. Goal three: find something that exerts me that fits into my life—yoga, long walks, running, gym, whatever. I remember liking running. It seems like it could be great if I could fit it into my life now. It would be so much easier to run now that all the weight is gone.
