The Dose with Paddy and Belinda24 Marras 2025

The Reality of Long Term Weight Loss and What Nobody Tells You About Maintenance

What if the hardest part of weight loss isn’t losing the weight at all… but what comes next?
In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Paddy and Belinda open up about the unexpected emotional twists of long term weight loss, the messy transition into maintenance, changing medications, body image, loose skin, and the mental load that never gets talked about.

Drawing from their own lived journeys, they explore:
• What maintenance actually feels like• The surprising mental challenges after major weight loss• The pressure to “do more” even when you reach your goal• How old thoughts and body image concerns can creep back in• Living with loose skin, shape changes, and lingering insecurities• Why progress slows and how the mind struggles to catch up• Learning to trust yourself again after years of dieting• Why community conversations matter more than ever

From Paddy reflecting on body changes and past experiences, to Belinda discussing her own transition into maintenance and the emotional weight that comes with it, this episode offers a rare, honest look into the long term side of the journey that so many people on GLP-1 treatments quietly relate to.

This episode shares personal experiences and general information only. It is not medical advice and not a promotion of any treatment.
