Weight gain through menopause is a mix of biology and lived experience, colliding with a world of diet and wellness noise where motivators and pressures easily get tangled.
Weight loss isn’t a behaviour. Sometimes it supports health, sometimes it doesn’t. A woman’s relationship with her weight and wellbeing is deeply personal and no one else can know that story. Diet culture rarely gives a damn about what’s underneath. But that doesn’t take away from how you feel.
It’s hard to give proper space to our own story when opinions about weight loss injections are so polarising. Are they really solving the right ‘problem’? Or have we been taught to see the problem through a distorted lens?
Yes, injections can quieten food noise — and for many, that’s a huge relief. Some of us have always felt like the food switch is permanently “on”. But food noise isn’t just biological. Years of dieting do that. Unmet emotional needs do that. Stress and poor sleep do that too. Those parts still need attention.
Not eating as much can feel like progress when food has long been seen as the enemy. Seeing your body respond can feel satisfying. But the line between good nutrition and not enough is finer than you think. Meeting your body’s needs isn’t optional — it’s foundational.
Weight loss injections might make you thinner, maybe even happier, but let’s not get swept up in the euphoria of that. Thinness doesn’t fix everything. What if this could be your reset instead — a chance to anchor into nourishment, calm, and a healthier mindset beyond the jab?
