Sex File: I lost the dad bod while on Mounjaro but I still don't feel sexy

It's a really interesting question because it is about something that is rarely addressed: negative body image in the middle-aged male. Picture: iStock

I have always had a bit of a dad bod but after losing 2st quite quickly on Mounjaro, I still don't like the way I look without clothes on - older and saggier. My wife says she finds me attractive but I don't feel it. What can I do to get over this and regain some confidence? 

In one way this is a really boring question because I'm pretty sure you know that the answer is exercise. GLP-1 jabs such as Mounjaro may help you to lose weight but you need to compensate for the simultaneous loss of muscle with strength training. Weight training, whether you are lifting weights or doing Pilates, will help you to tone up and stop feeling so saggy, while getting stronger will make you feel more confident. Problem solved.
