This is Entertainment and Celebrity News Today, powered by AI and presented by the Daily News Now. Layla Taylor, from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, has opened up about quitting her weight loss medication. The GLP1 drugs, meant to curb hunger, ended up making her long-time eating disorder worse. She realized this after drastic weight loss brought on serious health issues, prompting her to start outpatient treatment. She's battled the disorder since she was a little girl and says it is not something that just disappears. The meds acted like an unhealthy crutch, masking hunger but ignoring the root problems with her body image. People often praise quick weight loss without seeing the toll it takes. For Layla, that men joint pain so bad she heard just lying down in night, hair falling out, nails breaking, and constant exhaustion from not sleeping, or eating properly.

Her turning point came thinking about her two young sons from her previous marriage. She wants to stick around for a long life to watch them grow up, have families, and thrive, so getting truly, healthy became her priority. Now off the medication, she still faces body image struggles, but feels she is in a better place and managing them. She's staying single for now to focus fully on her boys and recovery.
