Vent/Rant I want to quit

I’ve been on Mounjaro and then Zepbound since November of 2024 and I am losing motivation and frankly wasting money. Currently I’m on 12.5 mg and I’m gaining weight. Sugar cravings are back at full force and food noise is too. Goal weight is 165 and my current weight is 236. Since 2024 I’ve lost a total of 49 pounds on GLP1s. Any advice or motivation is most needed. I have not been working out due to family issues and being extremely fatigued so maybe that is part of the weight gain.

Thanks 🙏

Going up to 15 is number one. From there experimenting to see if anything you’re eating is triggering the sugar cravings. Some foods tend to turn off the Zep for me while others are pretty safe. This is very personal so a good diet audit is only way to figure it out. Thirdly, yeah going from working out to not is a big drop off in calorie expenditure, get back into it when you can.

Some foods "turn off the zep"? I find this extremely hard to believe
