She&#8217;s also one of my best friends in the whole world!! Today we are picking up right where we left off, diving into our personal experiences with peptides, the mental side of weight loss maintenance, body image, and so much more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Here&#8217;s what we chat about:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"[li_&amp;]:mb-0 [li_&amp;]:mt-1 [li_&amp;]:gap-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Betsy&#8217;s background, how she lost 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, and what life looks like now in maintenance mode<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The mental and emotional journey of rebuilding your identity after significant weight loss<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Why maintaining your goal weight is honestly harder than losing it (and why nobody talks about that)<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Body image after weight loss and why some days you still feel like you&#8217;re in your old body<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">Why Betsy never counted calories or followed a strict food program and how she still maintains her results<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">The &#8220;ingredient household&#8221; approach to feeding a family and keeping it realistic<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\">What is next for Betsy as she steps away from 20 years in education to focus on family and content creation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And so much more!!<\/p>\n<h2>205: GLP-1s, Weight Loss Maintenance &amp; Rebuilding Yourself with Betsy of Boujee Betsy<\/h2>\n<p>Betsy&#8217;s honesty about the parts of the wellness journey that nobody glamorizes is so refreshing, and I just know you are going to love her.<\/p>\n<p>Betsy\u00a0is not your typical wellness guest.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s 45, unapologetically high-maintenance, and the creator behind @Boujee.Betsy\u00a0\u2014 a community for women in their 40s who are finally choosing themselves. After losing 70 pounds with the help of a GLP-1, she&#8217;ll be the first to tell you the medication wasn&#8217;t the hard part. The hard part was everything it uncovered.<\/p>\n<p>Betsy speaks openly about maintaining weight loss when nobody&#8217;s congratulating you for it anymore, the fear that never fully goes away, and the mental work of rebuilding your identity from the inside out. She&#8217;s been in fight or flight mode for most of her adult life &#8211; and she&#8217;s finally, deliberately, living differently.<\/p>\n<p>Her superpower? Saying out loud what everyone else is afraid to admit. Her mission? Showing women that pouring into yourself isn&#8217;t selfish.
