GLP vent

[Anonymous]

A friend of mine started a GLP-1 sixteen months ago. We are both early 50s. She went from a size 16/18 to a size 0. She is so tiny now, the transformation has been amazing. And frankly, a little alarming to watch as she initially had a racing heart when seated, she seems to have wasted away and always has no energy. When we go out to eat, she picks at her food and shuffles it around her plate. I don’t expect her to eat a huge meal… but it’s not exactly healthy to only eat 3 bites of a salad and then say she’s full.
She is a medical doctor. Her patients have watched the transformation, and she tells them she gave up sugar and started exercising. I feel like that is a lie by omission. And honestly, I exercise more than she does.
I am a size 12/14 and have been on the weight loss yo-yo for years. I’ll lose weight and drop down to an 6/8, and then “life” happens – I broke my ankle, our house flooded, I was bitten by a black widow… and my stress eating = gain it all back.
I am tempted by the GLP-1, but also hesitant. I do not want to inject myself (or take a pill) for the rest of my life. (60% gain the weight back when they stop the injections). I do not want to be low energy. But I am envious of her when I am struggling with my weight loss. And irritated when she tells me it’s just about cutting sugar and exercising.
Thanks for listening to me vent my jealousy.

People who lose weight with or without GLP1s regain the weight. That's the part that makes this whole handwringing about GLP1s so silly. It's either you deprive forever or you take a pill/shot forever. The latter is MUCH easier.

You sound like a perfect candidate for a GLP. Why are you against being on it forever? The dangers of your obesity and yo yo dieting are well studied.

Cost. And I seriously don’t want to be injecting myself when I’m 88 years old just to be thin.

If you keep going you might have to inject yourself because you have diabetes. Most 88yos are on some med or other.

So unlikely that I'm 100% convinced this is a fake post.

I'm 55, on a GLP1, and went from a size 18 to a size 10 over 2 years. And she's a doctor? And on a GLP1 and tells you "it's just about cutting sugar and exercising"? Lol. Ok.

Just another iteration of GLP1 rage baiting/trolling.

This. In a decade or two, you’ll most likely be on several medications for life, like the majority of senior citizens are. It’s really no big deal.

DCUM troll is here too. Sigh.

Troll post

I read on another post here that glps are injectable anorexia and I keep thinking about that.

Not a troll. She started them in January 2025. And yes, she repeatedly tells me that she lost the weight by cutting sugar, even though she tells me she’s on Zepbound because of her arthritis.
I’m sure she did cut out sugar, but it’s a lot easier to cut out sugar when you have zero appetite.

eh, let her enjoy it. When the pancreatitis hits, you can secretly be happy for her suffering.

Here is another evil troll. You are HOPING for a terrible outcome because you're evil.

Guess what, loser. I've been doing amazing for 6 years now. I'm healthier, more active, and overall a better human than you.

That shows a pretty basic misunderstanding of what anorexia is.
