@Fatmumslim01- given this a bit more thought on a very long and delayed train journey with no airflow. I think the same way it took all of our eyes and brains to catch up with our weight loss is also a thing in a different way for the people who love us, they get really surprised by the dramatic changes. I think maybe they need time to adjust so I think so long as your BMI is healthy, you’re eating a good nutritionally balanced diet, are protecting your bone density and muscle mass, and you’re ok with some of the trade offs (armpits, I’m looking at you) it’s ok to want to go lower and aim to maintain in a comfortable and healthy zone. I think one thing I’ve learned over what’s happened on this thread is that it’s about looking at all of those things together and not just one thing. I’m staying on MJ because I think for me it’s a lifetime tool, mostly for inflammation benefits. But I’m being very, very careful about being honest with my prescriber about weight etc and making sure I’m dosing low enough that I’m just maintaining without continuing to lose beyond a healthy BMI, making sure I’m hitting macro goals etc.
For me, I think my body found a natural weight. One where it’s easy to maintain without it being a constant battle. I went lower by about 5 lb unintentionally but as soon as I was over the life blip that caused that, I seemed to naturally eat enough to pop a few pounds back on and then maintain without too much thought. I don’t want this to be a battle for the rest of my life, I want to enjoy life and eating out and cooking. I do think maybe all of us have a bottom set weight that maybe increases with age but is where we’re actually going to be able to hold steady. You will absolutely continue to lose as you titrate down, but i chose to stay on highest dose until i hit what i thought worked for me (which is definitely about 7/8lb heavier than i was 15 years ago but I need the face fat!).
That was a ramble that probably didn’t even get close to answering your question, sorry. Been a very long day at work :). The TLDR is make sure you’re staying healthy, make sure you’re happy with the kind of meals your eating, make sure you’re happy with how you look, how it impacts your life eg socially. Probably more make sures to consider. All of that being fine - it’s your life and your body and your health. None of that should be dictated by other people saying they’re struggling with the visual adjustment. It comes mostly from a place of love. But I have noticed that my (many) family members who are very overweight are the first to say that I look like I’m 156 years old.
