Chubby moms question

[Anonymous]

If you are chubby but in good health, do you get jealous of people who suddenly look like a million bucks on weight loss meds? I am so on the fence about going there solely for vanity.

Why would I be jealous? It’s up to everyone to improve themselves if they’re unhappy with the way they are.

I admit I’m totally jealous. I’d love to take a shot a week that melted weight off me and killed my constant hunger.

I don’t qualify under my insurance and I’m just sure I’ll be one of the people with terrible side effects, so I just continue to be envious!

Go read that thread about getting it through Midi. Zepbound has virtually no side effects, they'll prescribe it and you get it directly from Eli Lilly--not compounded. The weight won't melt off without a little effort from you, but it's definitely easier.

Yes and no.

I am jealous because they look great but I also know they will not stay on it for life and will just get fat again as soon as they go off.

The people I am really jealous of are the ones who have much better hunger and fullness cues than I do and stay naturally thin eating what they want.

Very wise.

A friend started zepbound last winter and looks amazing. The fat melted off. I don’t see her doing the things she needs to do to keep it off - diet is still crap and not exercising. She is CONSTANTLY tired. There’s always an excuse “didn’t sleep well”, “have a cold”, but she has literally been complaining about being tired since she started.
I would love to drop the weight like she did. My insurance does cover it, but I worry about long term side effects, or just gaining it back.
So I’ll continue to be secretly jealous and chubby. 🤣

Why be jealous? Just try it. The cost is a wash after you think how much it saves you in food/restaurant/bar purchases. I pay about $350 every 3 months for compounded.

I wasn’t jealous of my friends on weight loss drugs. I thought good for them! Eventually I went on them but only when my blood work eventually made me no longer fat and in good health.

I turned fat and now in poor health and dieted with limited results for a year. So the drugs are now helpful for me too.

I don't eat out much and I've never been a drinker. I'm happy for people (I didn't mean jealous in a hateful way, more sad for myself) but I think that's partly why it upsets me: Here I am living a healthy lifestyle looking chubby and now everyone looks thin and healthier. I haven't seen anything as low as $350! Is that for Tirzepatide?

I'm on Wegovy. I'm down 70lbs, so that is great, but I have been horribly fatigued the whole time. It's rough.

No, not really. I’m happy for them.
