I wonder this too now when I see very overweight people who can clearly probably get insurance to cover the cost.

I know a bunch of people on it and they are all open about it. I am grateful because I'm interested in hearing about it.

Me too-- when I see people who are morbidly obese I wonder why their doctor hasn't put them on it, fully covered by insurance. It could be a profound improvement in quality (and quantity) of life.

I used the compounded version and it cost less than a gym membership and worked better. Now my knees don't hurt anymore! Joint pain was one of the things keeping me from exercising more, and the joint pain was exacerbated by the extra weight. I lost 20 pounds effortlessly in six months, I feel better, and my clothes fit better. (The real trigger to start the drug was that I was on the verge of needing to buy all new stuff and I hate shopping). I went off it and have kept the weight off for six months, because now I can exercise, and very importantly, it recalibrated my understanding of hunger and what I need. My urge to snack is way down. I am more easily satiated.

I was extremely lucky in the side effects, too. My bestie had significant nausea and constipation. I had only the mildest of queasiness the day I took it, and then nothing.

I'm an evangelist. I'll tell anyone. If someone accuses me of being lazy or taking the easy way out, I'll ask them if they wash all their clothes by hand in the river.

You are in fact taking the lazy way out. You just don't want to admit it.

Oh man, I dream of being lazy someday. Having the time to do nothing except run on a stationary object like a hamster? How delightfully brainless. Maybe once I launch these kids and retire and see the rest of the world, I will be able to indulge in a little laziness!

I would never make fun of someone for using weight loss drugs, but you need to get a grip. Are you really saying that people who exercise are lazy and wearing the fact that you are “too busy and important” to exercise as a badge of honor? It is not.

The ridiculousness of the comment you are responding to shows that they can protest all they want but most of these women are incredibly insecure because they know they are taking the lazy way out. My guess is that they have done tons of judging on women’s dieting/exercising/weight along the way.

Of course you will never admit how insufferable and obnoxious are you are. I’m not the Pp but I’m assuming it a direct response to you calling her lazy. You are not the victim here. Be thin and be happy. Why do you have to be so miserable if you are so right?

I’m not the only other poster here. OP asked, a few answered. If it bothers you so much, why are you here? You’re not going to change anyone’s mind.

I’m not the only one being hateful is not exactly a good defense of your position. 🙄

If you can only see “hateful,” that’s your own defensiveness and insecurity talking. Also it’s unclear why you would hang out in thread that was hateful.

It’s unclear to me why you would care about something that has no impact on you. Is it because you are indeed a shitty, hateful, miserable person?

You sound very angry. I wonder why you opened this post if it bothers you so much. If you don’t want to hear why people judge, why are you reading? You are the one swearing at posters, not the other way around.

Ironic that you condemn people for doing “tons of judging on women’s dieting/exercising/weight along the way.”

You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I observed that the people who are defensive over the GLP1 usage likely judged others.

Also, I’m not so defensive of my own actions that I am swearing at anyone so there is that.

Just as you are judging them for being “lazy.”

It's fine if a GLP1 helped you lose weight. But it is the easy way. If it bothers you to hear that, then that's on you. We all need help sometimes, but there's also nothing wrong with admitting you needed assistance. If you're going to enjoy someone commenting on your weightloss or how thin you look, then you also need to accept that people are going to wonder how you did it. These 2 things go together. If you feel shame about how you lost the weight, then that's your issue to reconcile.

Would you ever say:
"It's fine if an antidepressant helped you feel better. But it is the easy way. If it bothers you to hear that, then that's on you."

Why is it ok to take an antidepressant to help you if your brain chemistry works differently than other people's, but not OK to take a GLP1 if your hormones work differently than other people's. Same/same in my mind.

I would, and I have been both depressed and obese (not necessarily at the same times in my life).

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with taking things that help, but they ARE the easy way without trying other things first.

I'm sorry you and others are so triggered. Clearly I hit a nerve with the sensitivity.

The first bolding makes you an ass. The second makes you a narcissistic ass.

Would you say people taking another diabetes drug is taking the easy way out? Metformin, etc?

Also, what do you know what anybody has tried, and what they haven't?

Take a woman I know, now in her 40's. She's had a binge eating disorder since she was 15. She's tried it all, including meticulous meal planning and prep combined with working with a personal trainer 3 times per week. She did great (on the outside) until covid happened. She's now on Wegovy and doing well.
You though, only knowing that she's taking Wegovy, would say she's taking the easy way out.

This story doesn’t have the message you think it does.

What do you think it conveys? Please enlighten us.

Yes please.

That poster probably has issues with cancer patients using chemo, too. They should have done the hard work to not get cancer in the first place.

Imagine being so morally bankrupt that you need to compare using weight loss drugs to lose vanity pounds to cancer/chemo.

Vanity pounds? I’m the one who was prescribed the drug because of high BP and cholesterol but I’m positive that nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince your evil man jelous mind to leave us alone.

No one is judging you. You’re the one calling people lazy for taking the drugs FFS. How does it impact you that people take these drugs?

Insufferable, obnoxious, sh*tty, hateful

Quite a lot of judgmental words for people who are supposedly not judging.

I can’t imagine you would have gotten any of those if you just minded your own business and not called us lazy. Imagine that.

The medications are interesting technology and nobody should be ashamed of using them.

But people acting like they are some kind of martyr still having overcome some huge obstacle while using the medications is compete BS. Same with acting like it’s some Herculean task - particularly having to actually do some form of exercise and eat real food.

It’s like the bozos at Ironman Mexico last year who cut the bike course, went to their hotel, and came back later to triumphantly run through the shoot as if they went under 10 hours. And there were multiples of them.

Don’t do that and don’t act like you’ve accomplished something, and nobody is going to care. At least normal people who don’t GAF what you are doing.

I have done both. It’s litteraly none of your business how people lose weight. It has zero bearing on your life. Why is that so hard to understand?

Can you read? You are right. It is “none of my business.” So in that sense, don’t act like the medications are something they aren’t and don’t broadcast efforts as if you have accomplished something. But doing that, somebody is literally “making it somebody else’s business”

Wow. You are just mad that there is an easier way now.

Why do you prefer that people suffer?

Is this some sort of moral question for you?

I have accomplished plenty. I lost 60 lbs and don’t give a flying f if you think I took the easy way out. You are the one letting me live rent free in your head. It is a win win for me. 😘

You sound very angry. I wonder why you opened this post if it bothers you so much. If you don’t want to hear why people judge, why are you reading? You are the one swearing at posters, not the other way around.

Ironic that you condemn people for doing “tons of judging on women’s dieting/exercising/weight along the way.”

You seem to have misunderstood my comment. I observed that the people who are defensive over the GLP1 usage likely judged others.

Also, I’m not so defensive of my own actions that I am swearing at anyone so there is that.

Just as you are judging them for being “lazy.”

Yes, I’m judging. Welcome to the internet.

And that makes you a super shitty person. Welcome right back.

It's fine if a GLP1 helped you lose weight. But it is the easy way. If it bothers you to hear that, then that's on you. We all need help sometimes, but there's also nothing wrong with admitting you needed assistance. If you're going to enjoy someone commenting on your weightloss or how thin you look, then you also need to accept that people are going to wonder how you did it. These 2 things go together. If you feel shame about how you lost the weight, then that's your issue to reconcile.

Would you ever say:
"It's fine if an antidepressant helped you feel better. But it is the easy way. If it bothers you to hear that, then that's on you."

Why is it ok to take an antidepressant to help you if your brain chemistry works differently than other people's, but not OK to take a GLP1 if your hormones work differently than other people's. Same/same in my mind.

I would, and I have been both depressed and obese (not necessarily at the same times in my life).

Like I said, there's nothing wrong with taking things that help, but they ARE the easy way without trying other things first.

I'm sorry you and others are so triggered. Clearly I hit a nerve with the sensitivity.

The first bolding makes you an ass. The second makes you a narcissistic ass.

Would you say people taking another diabetes drug is taking the easy way out? Metformin, etc?

Also, what do you know what anybody has tried, and what they haven't?

Take a woman I know, now in her 40's. She's had a binge eating disorder since she was 15. She's tried it all, including meticulous meal planning and prep combined with working with a personal trainer 3 times per week. She did great (on the outside) until covid happened. She's now on Wegovy and doing well.
You though, only knowing that she's taking Wegovy, would say she's taking the easy way out.

This story doesn’t have the message you think it does.

What do you think it conveys? Please enlighten us.

Yes please.

That poster probably has issues with cancer patients using chemo, too. They should have done the hard work to not get cancer in the first place.

Imagine being so morally bankrupt that you need to compare using weight loss drugs to lose vanity pounds to cancer/chemo.

Vanity pounds? I’m the one who was prescribed the drug because of high BP and cholesterol but I’m positive that nothing, absolutely nothing, will convince your evil man jelous mind to leave us alone.

Evil and jealous. Ok, person who compares herself to a cancer patient.

I wonder this too now when I see very overweight people who can clearly probably get insurance to cover the cost.

I know a bunch of people on it and they are all open about it. I am grateful because I'm interested in hearing about it.

Me too-- when I see people who are morbidly obese I wonder why their doctor hasn't put them on it, fully covered by insurance. It could be a profound improvement in quality (and quantity) of life.

I used the compounded version and it cost less than a gym membership and worked better. Now my knees don't hurt anymore! Joint pain was one of the things keeping me from exercising more, and the joint pain was exacerbated by the extra weight. I lost 20 pounds effortlessly in six months, I feel better, and my clothes fit better. (The real trigger to start the drug was that I was on the verge of needing to buy all new stuff and I hate shopping). I went off it and have kept the weight off for six months, because now I can exercise, and very importantly, it recalibrated my understanding of hunger and what I need. My urge to snack is way down. I am more easily satiated.

I was extremely lucky in the side effects, too. My bestie had significant nausea and constipation. I had only the mildest of queasiness the day I took it, and then nothing.

I'm an evangelist. I'll tell anyone. If someone accuses me of being lazy or taking the easy way out, I'll ask them if they wash all their clothes by hand in the river.

You are in fact taking the lazy way out. You just don't want to admit it.

Oh man, I dream of being lazy someday. Having the time to do nothing except run on a stationary object like a hamster? How delightfully brainless. Maybe once I launch these kids and retire and see the rest of the world, I will be able to indulge in a little laziness!

I would never make fun of someone for using weight loss drugs, but you need to get a grip. Are you really saying that people who exercise are lazy and wearing the fact that you are “too busy and important” to exercise as a badge of honor? It is not.

The ridiculousness of the comment you are responding to shows that they can protest all they want but most of these women are incredibly insecure because they know they are taking the lazy way out. My guess is that they have done tons of judging on women’s dieting/exercising/weight along the way.

Of course you will never admit how insufferable and obnoxious are you are. I’m not the Pp but I’m assuming it a direct response to you calling her lazy. You are not the victim here. Be thin and be happy. Why do you have to be so miserable if you are so right?

I’m not the only other poster here. OP asked, a few answered. If it bothers you so much, why are you here? You’re not going to change anyone’s mind.

I’m not the only one being hateful is not exactly a good defense of your position. 🙄

And people are judging you right back. If you do like it, you shouldn’t read the posts.
