Want to share my personal experience related to Imposter syndrome after weight since I think it might help others in a similar situation.

I started my GLP-1 journey in March 2025 at 269 lbs with metabolic syndrome. My telehealth provider prescribed semaglutide 0.25mg to start.

Now, 10 months later: I am down 49 lbs, my labs have normalized, and my sleep apnea has improved dramatically. The Imposter syndrome aspect specifically was something that made a big difference in my journey.

This forum was my go-to resource throughout.

Moderator note: Please keep vendor-specific discussions in the Vendor Reviews section.

I have cleaned up a few off-topic posts. 👍

TomFromTexas said:
Imposter syndrome after is exactly what I've been researching

This is exactly right. TomFromTexas articulated what I have been trying to explain to my friends for months. The Imposter syndrome after aspect is what made the difference for me.
