Is Semi-G gonna cause inequity in appearances? The off label use of Ozempic ethical issue no one mentions

It sure seems to cause rage in those of you not taking it. Maybe worry about your own body and stop raging over other people’s?

Seriously. I’ve never seen so many furious white women in DCUM threads. They are unhinged with rage that people are getting thin by taking a shot.

Reminds me of the parents who think the world is going to hell because other parents are raising kids without spanking them. Their own parents hit them and, rather than just deal with the fact that this was unnecessary pain and suffering; they turn it into something good, actually. Rather than being happy that the world is improving and future generations might have things easier, they turn the hardship into a lost virtue.

What are you talking about? You're making zero sense.

She still doesn't eat healthy food and doesn't work out. She eats absolute processed crap, just much less of it and she has lost ~ 50lbs, which is great for her confidence. But I think she'll just be skinny-fat now. I don't know how great that is for overall health?

Yes, I kind of suspect that ultimately, not much will change regarding what people eat. Most people I know who had gastric bypass ultimately returned to their old eating habits.

Here is a very interesting article regarding this fact:

“Walmart says Ozempic craze slims demand in grocery aisles.”

*This. We're gonna see a shift in overall eating habits.

Of course being skinny-fat is better for your health than being obese. Better for joints, heart, avoiding diabetes, and so on.

No, fit fat is better than skinny fat

+1, I would much rather be a size 10 but strong and healthy and able to go hiking or biking without instant fatigue, than be a size 2 and look better in a bikini but have no muscle mass or endurance.

I don't care if other people take Ozempic-- it's their body, do what they want. But for me the answer is always more about exercise than eating less. Eating healthier, yes, but exercise trumps dieting to me because the health benefits are broader than just losing weight.

Also I find the more active I am, the healthier I eat.

This.

And choice. Ya’ll ever watch the checkouts at Walmart in Maryland?

No one buys apples. There is plenty of 2 liter sodas and bags of chips being rung up.

Anymore bags of apples are cheaper than chips.

What is this use of "anymore?" Is it a Maryland thing?

I think of it as a folksy midwest thing.

No, I was the one who questioned it and I’m from the Midwest.

There are people who think sex and weight are moral issues. Consequently, they think things like birth control pills and weight loss medication are immoral. If you don't want to be pregnant, you should be abstinent. If you don't want to be fat, you should exercise strenuously and be hungry.

Yep, my cousin got gastric bypass surgery. She lost weight for a bit, but then went right back to her old eating habits and is now somehow larger than before.

I think it's quite the opposite. All of the rage posts on here have been by those jealous of us who are finally losing weight and getting healthy. We are just laughing our asses off all the way to the store to buy new clothes every month.

I am dieting myself but doing so through nutrition counseling and exercise. I’m not losing as fast as ozempic people but I have lost 15 pounds in two months. I’m making much better food choices and snacking a lot less. I feel really motivated with this success. My friend on ozempic is still drinking alcohol and making poor food choices.

15 pounds in 2 months is very rapid weight loss. Just as fast or faster as people on Ozempic.

Congrats! I did that a decade ago (lost 30 lbs) and kept it off for quite a while, probably would have been longer if not for covid getting in the way of a lot of activities I like to do. But once menopause hit it was much more difficult to lose weight so I am very grateful for Ozempic.

You can do both - eat less and exercise. I've lost 35 lbs on Ozempic and am now a size 8 and actually much more active without carrying the extra weight. I wasn't losing weight with just exercise and was also struggling with joint pain which was one of the main reasons I turned to Ozempic. The joint pain is gone and I have increased the speed and length of my runs.

Summer glue tie does not make you slim and trim and a size two. I'm on Wegovy and having good results, but yeah, not going to be a size two ever or tall and thin or svelte or any of these things. I'm just going to be a much healthier me!
