After losing more than 13 stone, I thought maintenance would feel peaceful. Instead, it made me realise something uncomfortable about my ADHD brain. I was not addicted to losing weight. I was addicted to the feeling of progress.

After losing more than 13 stone with the support of Mounjaro, I expected the hardest part to be over. Instead, I discovered an unexpected challenge. My ADHD brain had become hooked on progress, and maintenance felt strangely uncomfortable. This honest follow-up explores the psychology of long-term weight loss, the difference between chasing a goal and living with it, and why reaching your target weight is only the beginning of the journey.

I never believed I’d reach a healthy weight. After years of failed diets, Mounjaro helped quieten the food noise and gave me the space to build habits that finally lasted. This is the honest story of losing more than 13 stone, carrying the equivalent of a washing machine every day without realising it and discovering that changing your body is only the beginning. If you’re considering Mounjaro, I hope my experience helps you take the first step.

Six months on Mounjaro, I’m lighter than I’ve been in 11 years, the food noise is gone, and for the first time in my life, I feel proud.
