I remember coming back to school after summer break last year and seeing a bunch of moms at pickup who obviously lost a ton of weight. Are you supposed to tell them they look great? Say nothing? I just ignore it but it seems odd when they look totally different. If they made a drastic hair change you'd mention but this we're supposed to pretend we don't see it? Same with face lifts and plastic surgery. It's awkward when people drastically change their look and nothing is ever said.

I have lost a lot of weight. Please say nothing.

Commenting on weight is very rude. You finding it "awkward when people drastically change their look and nothing is ever said" is a you problem.

DP - I will always take "You look great." I've gone through a lot over the last decade and losing weight and feeling strong and good about myself is something I don't mind having recognized.

You can "take" whatever you want. That doesn't change the fact that it is extremely rude to comment on someone's weight. Whether well-intentioned, or not. Whether the person likes it, or not.

I have a friend who was a little overweight all her life and into her 50’s when she started a glp1. She has lost a lot of weight. Some may think too much. And has definitely developed disordered eating, which she admits. She is terrified of gaining the weight back. Her weight and fear of food always comes up when we’re out. Always. Going out to eat with her is always so uncomfortable. The glp makes it easy for her to maintain her level of control and it does not at all seem healthy. She’s trying to be as small as possibly. It was not anything I ever observed from her before starting the medicine. So I do think the glp1 spurred an eating disorder in her, whether it’s considered anorexia or not.

Btw I’m also on a glp1. Happily got to a good weight but not trying to go further. So I do appreciate the medicine.

Also, not everyone looks great.

You don't speak for everyone. Some really want the comments and flattery. The problem is not knowing which person you are dealing with. It's rude to say "you gained weight!" People love hearing "You look amazing have you lost weight?" And then they proceed to tell you all about their diet/workout/weightlifting/yoga whatever.

Who do you think you are and why are the rule maker?

Can you even take GLP1s if you have any of these conditions already? Or for example, if you do not have a gallbladder?

I had my gallbladder removed in 2021 and have been taking a GLP1 since 2025. It was never something that came up. Considering that gallbladder issues are common in overweight women over aged 40, I would bet there is a huge subset of women without gallbladders who are also now on GLP1s.

glps *facilitate anorexia. Also, some people don't know when to stop with the weight loss. If 40 pounds is good, then 60+ pounds is great.

That's not fact. If anything, the glps might quiet down some of the food noise. But there hasn't been any data suggesting glps having an effect on anorexia. Of course, persons with anorexia should probably not be on them and should speak to their dr, as I am not one. But the PP is desperately trying to link glps and anorexia, when they are two separate things.

You are spouting opinions, not facts and desperately want to downplay any link. Some people who need glp1 are obese and already have binge eating disorder. It’s not a stretch to believe disordered eating can morph into anorexia because the pathology is already there.

So, the person ALREADY has an eating disorder. It's not being caused by the glps, as you claim. For anyone else wondering , do some quick googling and it will give some good basic information, and anyone with an eating disorder should speak to their dr regarding glp use.

You know nothing about anorexia and aren’t an authority or to be taken seriously.

Oh look, to nobody’s surprise it can trigger eating disorders.

If you actually READ your own link, it says that researchers are studying their use for treatment of binge eating, and that people with eating disorders should talk to their drs about using glps. So, thanks for sharing.

Good thing I recommend that people speak to their drs, as I am not one.
