The Skinny Mirror

The Magic Mirror

In my French bedroom, on the inside of one of the wardrobe doors, there is a magic mirror. It is, of course, more like a fairground mirror, one that distorts the reflection so that it lies. At the top, I think it actually makes you look distended. But for the bottom three quarters of its length, it makes you look thinner. And taller.

It’s hilarious really, but guests have commented on it over the years. You look at yourself in it and wonder what might be. The mirror is haunted by your slimmer double.

I’ve tried various diets over the years, though not very seriously, and certainly not as seriously as my OH. But I’ve disliked the way I look (in the mirror, the regular mirror) for a long time. I remember when I was about 29, at university, and someone complimented me. I did of course demur, said something about carrying too much weight. ‘But you carry it well,’ she said. I still didn’t believe her.

It’s laughable now, looking at the rare photographs of that 29-year-old, about half the size I am now.

Not really, but you get the picture.

The weight goes on, it creeps up and up and up. The trouser size expands. The Medium t-shirt long ago became a Large, then an XL, then the inevitable XXL. The suit you wore, once, to an interview 20 years ago, is still on the clothes rail. You wouldn’t fit into it. Then there are the unpleasant side effects. The blood test that reveals elevated cholesterol. The blood pressure, always high, even when you were skinny, is now too high. The statins, the hypertension medication, the daily pills.

So, every now and then, a diet. The cabbage soup diet. WeightWatchers counting points. Meal replacement shakes. Deprivation. Abstinence. The five-day soup diet. Restricted calories, exercise. Count and record everything. Cut out the cheese, the bread, the booze, the chocolate. Off the weight goes. On it comes again.

Game, Match, and Set Point Theory

This is the idea that your body weight gets established at a Set Point – I’ll capitalise it for clearer understanding. When you try to lose weight, your brain and hormonal system fights you because they’re defending the Set Point. This leads to what people call plateauing, when you weight loss slows down or stops, even though you’re restricting calories. And then, if you succeed in getting to a target weight, the tendency is to bounce back up to your Set Point. And you feel like a failure, even though you’re fighting a battle against powerful forces. If you can sustain the lost weight, maintain your new weight for long enough, the theory goes, then your new, lower, weight becomes your new Set Point. But: it’s really, really hard. Which is why most diets fail.

Food Noise

As anyone who has been through all this knows, the food noise is real and it is loud. If you’re thinking about dieting, you’re thinking about food. Your brain is constantly sending you hunger signals and cravings. You’re hungry all the time, your stomach feels like it’s digesting itself, you feel lethargic, weak, you’ve got no energy. You want to exercise but you’re not up for it. In the end, you cave in and give in to the hunger. Backslider. Failure.

Igovy, Yougovy, We all go for Wegovy

Of course, I’ve been following the steady news feeds about the miracle weight loss drugs. Semaglutide. GLP-1, 2, 3. You could hardly miss it. Ozempic Face. Women too small for the wedding dress they had fitted. Restaurants going out of business. All Of Hollywood Is On It. And of course, the cautionary tales and criticisms. It Just Goes Back On Again, like it does with all diets. Saggy sacks of skin. Side effects. Nausea, vomiting, diahhorhhheea, the Thing That Cannot Spell Its Name.

But I was interested. How could you not be? If you have ever wished you could lose just a little bit of weight. If you could drop a trouser size. Why, all of the clothes you could go back to wearing! That cycling jacket you bought, which (though it was a supposed XXL) you couldn’t zip comfortably up. Oh, but all my trousers are 38″ waist, what would I wear? It’s a nice problem to have. I dream of having such a problem.

When I read in the news that the pill-form of Wegovy was now available, I decided I was in. The injectables did not appeal to me. I didn’t fancy doing that to myself once a week. But a daily pill? I take a lot of daily pills.

Boots Online Doctor was where I turned. I might have got it cheaper elsewhere, but I guess I trust the Boots brand! It’s £99 for a 30-day supply. The slight complication for me was that I was doing all this a couple of weeks before I was due to leave the country for 6 weeks. But in the end, it worked out. The starter dose is 1.5mg, and you’re supposed to gradually increase it, but with me being away, I just had another 30 days of 1.5mg.

Now, it’s £99 a pop, and I’m not sure how much the higher doses cost, because we haven’t got there yet, but I’m looking on this as an investment in a happier me. Just to put my BMI into the safe zone for someone of my height. If I drop a trouser size as well, that’d be all right.

There’s a long list of potential side effects. They’re drummed into you. The minor ones are things like nausea, dry mouth, and constipation—or its opposite. The major ones might include pancreatitis and kidney problems. So. You start cautiously and build up, and hope for the best. The injection is once per week. With the daily pill, you have to follow precautions. You take it after at least an 8-hour fast. So nil by mouth after 22:00 and you can take it at 06:00. You can only take it with a small sip of water — about 100ml. Then you have to wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking anything else—or taking any other medications. So you take your Wegovy pill when you get up (might be later than 06:00, especially if you’re on holiday), then have a shower, get dressed… put the kettle on. By the time you’ve done your morning routine, the 30 minutes is up.

Out of Body

What surprised me was how quickly it seemed to work. Psychology? Or brain science? Anyway, by the middle of the first day, it really was as if a switch had been thrown. I’m using a calorie counter app and trying to record everything. To lose weight at a sensible rate, I’m supposed to take in 2126 calories per day. On that first day, I managed 1285. Plus, I walked for an hour and cycled for half an hour, so I ended up more or less at net zero, at least according to the app.

This is the danger. Lose weight too fast and you might lose lean muscle mass rather than fat. Your body might go into famine mode. So you’re supposed to bump up the protein (join the trend! Why not?) and the fibre, to help with the potential constipation, plus water, lots of. 

On the second day, I felt a bit queasy and bloated at first, but that settled down and I felt fine later on. Went shopping. You know they say you should never shop hungry? Well. Try shopping on Wegovy. I didn’t buy biscuits, didn’t think about chocolate, didn’t buy bread. There were some aisles I just didn’t go down.

You feel this kind of distancing effect, it’s like an out of body experience. You’re looking at all the delicious food that – two days before! – you found irresistible, and you just feel… like you don’t need it. It doesn’t feel like a loss of appetite. It feels like something else, like you’re someone –or somewhere – else. It gives you willpower.

After 48 hours, I weighed myself. Two kilograms, gone. Of course, this was probably water, and you are advised to keep drinking water so that your body doesn’t start retaining it (famine mode). But still!

The danger is, you consume so few calories that you become lethargic. You can’t exercise. And you want to keep exercising, because you need to keep your muscle tone. All my fat is on my torso. My legs (and arms) are lean, and because of the cycling and the walking and the rowing machine, quite muscular. You want to keep that, so you need to be exercising. But put in an hour of cycling and you’ll struggle to consume enough calories in the day. 

For over a year now, my OH and I have been eating at least 5 Slimming World Kitchen recipes every week. We’re no longer getting the boxes delivered: I just use the old booklets and buy the ingredients in the supermarket. The great thing about SW Kitchen is that you get a really big plateful of healthy food, with loads of vegetables, adding up to between 400 and 600 calories. On Wegovy, half of one of those portions is plenty. 300 calories, dinner: full.

Two days after the first weigh-in, I stood on the scales again. Another kilo gone.

It started to come off more slowly after that. Since arriving in France, I’ve been trying to get out on the bike every couple of days, plus we’ve been active in the garden, and swimming, walking etc. So sometimes you eat just because you know you need to eat. I bought a load of protein flapjacks as a way of getting a quick 200 calories or so, plus protein and fibre.

The tricky bit is when you socialise, especially here in France. People will insist on eating so fucking late. I’ve always hated it, but now it has an impact on my interactions with the medication. For example, I did a pizza night, which involved about seven people: not one of the big ones. A certain person Who Is Always Late was late, and so it was gone 20:00 before the first pizza was done. I cooked five in all, and only had one slice of each. And then there was an apple tart. I also had about ¾ of a bottle of beer. But it was very late when we finished, and I had a very rough night, feeling bloated and uncomfortable, and then (when I woke at 04:00) feeling nauseated, and eventually sick. 

So I was more careful the next time we socialised. This time, we were invited out. Again, everything was way too late, but I skipped the bread and cheese altogether, just ate the main course and a small dessert, and refused all the wine. So, though we only finished eating after 23:00, I didn’t feel ill and wasn’t sick in the night.

What was interesting was, again, that distance I felt. I love bread. A crusty loaf with lots of air holes? Yum! All my life, my achilles heel has been bread and butter. On the table that night was a wide variety of interesting cheeses. I felt like an anthropologist watching people eat. I knew I could have some, if I wanted. But I didn’t want. I was just on a different plane to the food on the table.

The other day, my daughter waved a bar of my favourite Lindt milk chocolate. I fucking love that stuff. At any other time, I’d have considered four squares of that chocolate with a cup of coffee at 11:00 to be part of the daily ritual—a just reward for getting up in the morning. But though she waved it under my nose, I felt no desire.

Desire nothing except desirelessness

So where are we now? I think I’ve had 25 doses. The drug has a 7-day half life, which means it builds up slowly in your system until you reach an equilibrium, at which point you’re ingesting 1.5mg and losing 1.5mg from your system every day. This takes roughly five weeks, I think, so another 10 doses.

And it’s working. I’ve lost 5kg. It’s not a stone (in old measures), but it’s a bag of flour away from it. I’m weighing myself once per week, and sometimes, it’s clear, nothing is being lost. I do have some days when I feel weak and lacking energy, but I’m managing a bike ride every two or three days. And days like today, when I don’t walk much or ride my bike, I’ll still do some lengths in the neighbour’s pool.

I started at 109.5 kg. 105kg was an important psychological barrier, as is (I think) every whole number after that. If I take off the belt I’m wearing with the current pair of shorts, the shorts will literally fall down. But not (yet) all shorts or all trousers.

The real test is maintenance. I know it. Your habits have to change permanently, and the food noise that got you to the old weight needs to be permanently muted. You need to stay on some dose of the drug until your body recalibrates its Set Point. No good stopping when you reach your target weight. You need to quiet that food noise until the reset is complete. Until then, the magic mirror continues to lie.

TITLE: Your brain may be wired to regain lost weight

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260803080902.htm

Weight loss is not simply a test of willpower. The human brain evolved to protect body fat during times of scarcity, and it can treat a previously higher weight as the new normal, triggering stronger hunger, cravings, and lower energy use after weight loss. This biological “memory” helps explain why many people regain weight after dieting and why medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro can help by reducing appetite signals, although their effects may fade when treatment ends.

A GLP-1 pill a day may help keep problem drinking at bay. Researchers have conducted a small randomized trial of oral semaglutide, the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy, for people with alcohol use disorder.
