And why would eating in moderation ruin a celebration anyway? Stop worrying about what others are eating.

Do you have any friends taking them? I do. They don't eat in moderation, for the most part, they pick at the food and eat miniscule amounts. Like a lhalf cup of soup and two grapes, then talk incessantly about how great their weight loss triumph has been. I'ts not much fun to be around. I will caveat that by saying I'm pretty certain all of them are doing it mostly for vanity, so that might impact the behaviour.

Yeah, sounds like this is attributable to the kind of people you choose to hang around with, not the semaglutides.

I am taking Wegovy and my Christmas dinner was a portion of beef tenderloin (didn't finish the entire thing), mashed potatoes, brussels sprouts, chocolate pudding, and a decorated sugar cookie. I also had a glass of wine. It was lovely.

Your experience is not typical.

You need a therapist.

Thin. BMI is 19

Ah, so you missed out on smirking and judging while all the fatties indulged in the food you put out, a favorite holiday activity.

I’ve been told that it feels like morning sickness 24/7.

DH is on it for diabetes and he just can’t eat like he used to. A few bites and he’s full.

I attended some Holiday parties and had some family over for Christmas. There was lots of delicious food and drink at everything, but so much of it went unconsumed because it seems like everyone is on one of those semaglutides meds. I don’t remember so much unconsumed foods in the past. It just takes the joy out of the celebration.

Yes, when my husband lost 50 pounds going from 245 to 190 or so. He skipped meals, everything looked unappealing, only drank coffee, fasted dinner through lunch the next day.

Not sure he’s getting the nutrition he needs and it’s turned into a vanity project now. He keeps taking them and looks like a 6’1” string bean. He looks in the mirror all the time. Bought some new clothes and a biz suit. He even thinks his dck got bigger.

Pretend you’re having an old world, non American Christmas and holiday cheer isn’t measured in tens of thousands of calories.

How is it any of your business? You sound obese and jealous. Some “friend” you are.

If you don’t compliment him there’ll be other women who’ll be happy to. Seen it happen more than once.

It's a thin person who can't stand that others are doing what she does naturally. Probably the poster who says Ozempic takers are still spiritually fat.

I’m on moujarno. For dinner I had two pieces of good sour dough bread with butter, half a bowl of mussels, a few French fries and several bites of an ice box cake dessert. Plus two glasses of wine. I can’t understand why this would upset anyone

Never noticed, but we are all WASPs so no ine ever eats much food in the first place. Gin, Vodka, Scotch, Bourbon, wine and port with a smidge of olives, Virgina roasted peanuts, cheese, crackers, maybe a deviled egg if one is feeling exotic, are the main sources of nourishment.

Not OP but you don’t eat in moderation on Ozempic. You just stop eating.

This is simply not true. I've been taking it for a year and a half. I eat what most would consider normal portions. I used to eat excessive portions.

That’s not true. You can stay on a low dose, lose weight and still enjoy food in a controlled fashion.

Oh bull.

I'm on it for diabetes. I still eat, just less than I used to. I certainly wouldn't overeat anymore just because someone else thinks I should. I'm losing about 1/2 pound per week, on average.
