How do you know if you've done the work?

Going on to my 8th week on 2.5mg, about 6.5kg down. No adverse side effects other than a day of heartburn after the third injection (think it was the third)

I'm thinking about getting off. I've a few more kg to lose, then I want to maintain and eventually go into a building phase.

My worry is that I've binged for years. Since I was 12 maybe, I'm 30 now. These past 7 weeks have been binge free, the drug has stopped all thoughts about food and its been bloody fantastic.

Now the thing is - I had good habits instilled before i got on this drug. 12k steps, 4 workouts a week, timed my meals, ate my protein, my fibre. The problem was binging in the evenings- due to boredom, i think.

I've some work, physiologically. Made some plans for when boredom strikes, some new rules with food eg) not buying sharesize packets of things. But I won't know if any of this will be of any use after I stop the drug.

Is there anyway to tell if we've done the work? Or is it something that you just have to wait and see?

TIA
