Noom: The Final Weeks
Wrap up of a 16-week weight-loss journey with Noom
I’m breaking up with Noom.
Breaking up with Noom isn’t easy. Here’s a secret the other Noom reviewers won’t tell you: stopping Noom is scary. Not quit-your-job-to-go-live-in-Cambodia-scary, but not an easy decision either. I’d committed to 16 weeks of Noom and my time was up, so I was determined to quit. But I couldn’t shake my doubts: I had lost weight with Noom, so without Noom, wouldn’t I get fat again? (okay, not ‘fat’, I was never super-fat to begin with, but ‘bigger’; wouldn’t I get bigger again?).

But I like feeling this way. I want to hold on to the feeling, want to keep my new Noom body. If that means I have to keep Nooming forever, maybe that’s a price I’m willing to pay? I seriously considered it. But eventually, I decided to say my goodbyes. And I quit Noom*.
