Vanity weight - glp1

[Anonymous]

^ Also, in case I wasn't clear. You and the people like you are hurting people with your crap. If you want to make a positive change, then advocate for GLPs to only be available from in-person doctors who are appropriately monitoring their patients and not the shady online practices. But please stop stigmatizing this medication. Some of us really do need it.

I am 155 and 5’7”. I used to weight 125 when I got married 15 years ago. 3 kids and life got in the way. Now I am 42 and probably in perimenopause. I would love to lose 15+ pounds. Can I get a doctor to subscribe a glp1? Can I just go online and get it myself?

I’ve been 125 pounds and 5’6”. People were telling me to gain weight at that weight.

You don’t need to lose 15 pounds.

And just because someone is at a normal weight does not mean it's their preferred weight. It's ok to want to lose 10 or 15lbs or even 20 especially if the weight gain is recent and due to peri. OP would not even be on the low end of BMI if she did that.

There’s also a lot of women with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.

Yes, they come in all shapes and sizes. Someone being 24 BMI or 21 BMI tells you nothing about either of those. Neither does whether someone wants to lose weight and go from one to the other. It's not some unreasonable, weird goal.

If someone has a BMI of 24 and thinks that they’re obese, then it’s at least suggestive for body dysmorphia. If you want to lie to your MD, spouse, and children to get a drug to lose weight, then that’s a problem. I think GLP1 drugs are amazing for people whose health is at risk from excess weight. They also pose a real risk in enabling anorexia in people with normal or even low weights. I’ve got a college aged daughter and I’ve seen too many of her friends deal with eating disorders to be sanguine about the risks of anorexia.

I read somewhere that glps are injectable anorexia and I can't get that impression out of my mind. Especially with the vanity injectors.

As someone who uses them, I totally see that. I am obese (for real, lol) so I am the target audience and it works extremely well, but it does fuel a part of my brain that wants to play games with how little I can eat and still get through the day. I think it could be really dangerous for someone who already has issues with that.

OP sounds more like a classic mom with some extra peri weight than someone with anorexia. I'm not even sure why that's been brought up here. She was a normal weight adult and still is.

DP. Some PP thinks they're really clever or something by repeatedly calling GLPs "injectable anorexia." It's super fun to add even more stigma to a medication that a lot of people need and use responsibly.

If you or a loved one was using it responsibly you’d simmer down. Women who have the comfort of anonymity and shared wealth with a spouse want to be at their 2000s weight and that is all this is. I’m so disgusted with the lying about it. IDGAF about what other people weigh, but when it becomes yet another expectation for how girls and women can stay or get perfect, it bugs. There are a lot of always alones on this website who detest women who didn’t have their specific weight issues and they are as guilty as any Hollywood moron for trying to make these an expectation for all women. So cut the sh!t.

No, you cut the shit, you sanctimonious c***. Actually, I'm using it because I'm obese, pre diabetic, in cancer treatment for hormone positive breast cancer (more likely to recur/metastasize if obese) and have a family history of osteoarthritis. I hate having awful people like you spew out your "injectable anorexia" crap because people like me actually need this medication. Maybe try to be a human being for once and not a jerk. I normally wouldn't wish something awful on anyone, but I almost hope you get a condition that tends to cause obesity so you can shove your shitty attitude where the sun doesn't shine.

Oh the insane GLP swearer is back. This thread isn’t about you.

They were probably fat. Crabs in a bucket.

The cancer already got you, so I’m sorry that your toxicity gave you a fatal illness.

This medication has a lot of benefits besides just weight loss. Reducing inflammation from other chronic diseases for example. I'm sorry you are ill, but who are you to gatekeep this medication?

I know the thread isn't about me. Some PP invoked the "injectable anorexia" thing. I objected to that term. Then, they accused me of using a GLP-1 irresponsibly, since only irresponsible GLP users trying to lose vanity weight would have an issue with calling it "injectable anorexia." That's the context, people. I hate seeing people who need this medication, have been prescribed it by their regular doctor, and are being monitored carefully by said doctor get stigmatized by others. The term "injectable anorexia" is inflammatory and offensive. Please stop.

My toxicity?? I'm not the one making up offensive names for medications that a lot of people need and have been using responsibly. It's also way out of line to suggest that someone's attitude gave them cancer.

I never used the term you objected to, and since you’re wishing ill health and lashing out because people - multiple people - wrote things you don’t like, it stands by your reasoning that you deeply deserve both your cancer and obesity. Your rules.

I don't understand why people are calling it injectable anorexia. If a person 5'6 180 using a GLP-1 drops to 150 (clearly not anorexic weight) and is happy there, what is the issue?

Does anyone read the title or posts around here before commenting. This is about vanity weight.

That's the context, people. I hate seeing people who need this medication, have been prescribed it by their regular doctor, and are being monitored carefully by said doctor get stigmatized by others. The term "injectable anorexia" is inflammatory and offensive. Please stop.

I have never used the term that offends you. However, this board is full of people who use this drug for vanity and perpetuate terrible body image issues. It’s name of this particular thread for goodness sakes. Strange that you would take the side of those stigmatizing average sized bodies, rather than those who have concerns we are bringing back eating disorders.

And just because someone is at a normal weight does not mean it's their preferred weight. It's ok to want to lose 10 or 15lbs or even 20 especially if the weight gain is recent and due to peri. OP would not even be on the low end of BMI if she did that.

There’s also a lot of women with eating disorders and body dysmorphia.

Yes, they come in all shapes and sizes. Someone being 24 BMI or 21 BMI tells you nothing about either of those. Neither does whether someone wants to lose weight and go from one to the other. It's not some unreasonable, weird goal.

If someone has a BMI of 24 and thinks that they’re obese, then it’s at least suggestive for body dysmorphia. If you want to lie to your MD, spouse, and children to get a drug to lose weight, then that’s a problem. I think GLP1 drugs are amazing for people whose health is at risk from excess weight. They also pose a real risk in enabling anorexia in people with normal or even low weights. I’ve got a college aged daughter and I’ve seen too many of her friends deal with eating disorders to be sanguine about the risks of anorexia.

I read somewhere that glps are injectable anorexia and I can't get that impression out of my mind. Especially with the vanity injectors.

As someone who uses them, I totally see that. I am obese (for real, lol) so I am the target audience and it works extremely well, but it does fuel a part of my brain that wants to play games with how little I can eat and still get through the day. I think it could be really dangerous for someone who already has issues with that.

OP sounds more like a classic mom with some extra peri weight than someone with anorexia. I'm not even sure why that's been brought up here. She was a normal weight adult and still is.

DP. Some PP thinks they're really clever or something by repeatedly calling GLPs "injectable anorexia." It's super fun to add even more stigma to a medication that a lot of people need and use responsibly.

If you or a loved one was using it responsibly you’d simmer down. Women who have the comfort of anonymity and shared wealth with a spouse want to be at their 2000s weight and that is all this is. I’m so disgusted with the lying about it. IDGAF about what other people weigh, but when it becomes yet another expectation for how girls and women can stay or get perfect, it bugs. There are a lot of always alones on this website who detest women who didn’t have their specific weight issues and they are as guilty as any Hollywood moron for trying to make these an expectation for all women. So cut the sh!t.

No, you cut the shit, you sanctimonious c***. Actually, I'm using it because I'm obese, pre diabetic, in cancer treatment for hormone positive breast cancer (more likely to recur/metastasize if obese) and have a family history of osteoarthritis. I hate having awful people like you spew out your "injectable anorexia" crap because people like me actually need this medication. Maybe try to be a human being for once and not a jerk. I normally wouldn't wish something awful on anyone, but I almost hope you get a condition that tends to cause obesity so you can shove your shitty attitude where the sun doesn't shine.

Oh the insane GLP swearer is back. This thread isn’t about you.

The cancer already got you, so I’m sorry that your toxicity gave you a fatal illness.

My toxicity?? I'm not the one making up offensive names for medications that a lot of people need and have been using responsibly. It's also way out of line to suggest that someone's attitude gave them cancer.

I never used the term you objected to, and since you’re wishing ill health and lashing out because people - multiple people - wrote things you don’t like, it stands by your reasoning that you deeply deserve both your cancer and obesity. Your rules.

DP but how about you eat something, you have skinny b_ch rage.
