I think the combination of the cost and the side effects and I had lost a lot of weight. Like I think I lost 50 pounds about. Oh, wow. And I was feeling great and I was like, you know, let me just try without it. Let me phase out of it. And so I came off the drug at the end of 2023 and, you know, I will say like maintained the loss for quite a bit of time.
I probably gained like 10 to 15 pounds within like two or three months and And that was definitely not a great mental experience. Like I definitely came back to that feeling of control of like, oh my God, I'm losing control. I'm losing control. And, you know, but I was excited because I had made some lifestyle changes that I was maintaining and that felt like a really positive intervention.
Now, this is like the first interview I'm doing about this in like six months. And so I will say the last six months have been really stressful for me. I launched a book, I got married. Congrats. Thank you. Nothing like gaining weight for your wedding. But I started, you know, some of the things that I had been committing to like cooking and
getting enough, you know, my steps every day and all of that like fell to the wayside a little bit. And so the weight started to creep on and creep on and creep on. And now I've probably gained back like 60 or 70% of what I lost, which has been really hard.
You know, it's hard and it's also feels like it's forcing me to really face my relationship with my health and my own body and to like, it's like I understand the options that are out there, but the options are limited. I wouldn't even say that I would necessarily go back on it because when I think about it, I just get sick to my stomach.
I'm just like, oh, I just don't know if I can go through that again. But, you know, it's been a roller coaster, emotional roller coaster, having the kind of high of like, oh, like the weight came off and then to like be feel like I'm back to square one, even though I know in my mind and my heart and my spirit, I am not.
