Gym anxiety after major weight loss — what worked for you?

Update: I got the sleep and the intake sorted before deciding it was the drug, and most of the flatness went with them.

I do not accept the framing. The question has been narrowed to the version that has a tidy answer, and the part that was dropped is the part the OP actually asked about.

That is the short version; the long version is somebody else's post.

Right, and the exception is worth naming rather than left implied, because the exception is where people get into trouble.

Thank you for spelling out the reasoning rather than just the conclusion. Taking it to my next appointment.

From the other side of the consultation, briefly. The mechanism and the magnitude are separate questions. Agreeing that something happens says nothing about whether it happens enough to act on.

Worth separating that from training through weight loss, which this thread keeps folding into the same question. They behave differently and the advice does not transfer.

Can confirm. Same sequence, different timescale. The detail I would add is minor and it is already implied above.
