When Control Starts to Feel Too Important

Being on a weight-loss injection can affect much more than appetite or the number on the scales. Medication can make eating feel more manageable, but for some people the experience of control becomes emotionally compelling. Fear of losing that control can lead to increasingly rigid rules, body checking or restriction.

This warm resource explores the emotional side of that experience without judgement. It includes practical reflection, a personal message from Maggie, therapy approaches that may help, book recommendations and guidance on when it may be useful to speak with your prescriber, GP or another professional.
