Yes, this is what usually happens. You've spent far, far more time with those calories than without.

Okay, that's not a very long time is my point. It's much too early to think it's over.
I'm not saying that it's not possible to get off GLP-1s and maintain a good lifestyle. I'm saying that I don't think it's a moral failing or a lack of... sigh... "discipline" if people need to be on these drugs for life. Frankly, I think it's very rich that a baby skinny person is lecturing us on discipline. You've been doing this for less than a year. Discipline means sticking to habits for a long period of time, even when times are tough. I would not classify less than a year as that.

- droopyEyelids 1y agoFirst off I just wanna say awesome and I send positive energy to you and you’re gonna do great. But then I just wanna talk about how long life is in terms of weight gain! Even two years is an “short” amount of time! Last month, I looked over my doc where I keep track of my weight and I’ve been gaining about 1 pound a year since I started tracking it… 20 years ago. That’s a significant amount and I maybe have 30 years left to go! (this comment is not about you specifically, just musing on how long life is in terms of weight gain)
- firesteelrain 1y agoI know! I am totally aware. My FIL died sitting in a recliner basically from age 55 to 70. He didn't move, didn't watch what he ate. We saw that happen over a long period until he died about 3 years ago. It started with toes, then loss of a leg. Since that happened, it really kicked us into motion plus shaking the COVID funk! I wish you the best as well
