So quit telling people! So many people who take these meds are ridiculously sensitive and approval-seeking about them. Nobody needs to know you’re on them. Nobody has to approve for it to work for you. It’s like there’s a self-respect gene missing in some people that causes them to treat themselves in a way that they then become obese and also have a compulsion to seek outside approval from others about their own medical care. |
Frankly, you probably are a lazy dog if you got that fat in the first place. Time for some humble pie at Thanksgiving, dear. |
Put down the Cheetos and get out of mom’s basement, incel. |
I have no judgment about obese or overweight people taking these drugs. What I think is judgment-worthy is people who "just want to lose those last stubborn 10 pounds" taking them. They clearly don't need them and 10 lbs is not a health situation, it is merely cosmetic. |
This is why I haven't told anyone I take the meds. The reality is that the meds only work for me IF I do the right things in terms of diet and exercise, so when people ask how I've lost the weight, that's the part I tell them. I am not interested in anyone's judgments or comments. People are so quick to judge and I am not signing up for it. I've never looked or felt better. |
I used to think as you, but I realized soon if we don’t speak out and tell the facts the stigma wont change and people who could benefit from these miracle treatments wont take them. So now I make a point of telling everyone who asks how I lost weight, even when I don’t want to . It has been surprisingly well received, at least to my face. |

The new weight loss medications are only approved by the FDA for obese people and those who don’t meet the threshold but also have a related condition. They have not been tested for people outside those groups. Some of the manufacturers like Eli Lilly have specifically warned against using them for general weight loss. |
Liar. |
But who cares? What’s the harm in using the drugs? Why is it okay for an obese person but not someone wanting to lose 10 pounds? |
Lousy friend. |
That's very immature of her.
Congratulations on taking your health seriously and doing what's best for you. Ignor your friends comments .. and don't share anything further .. |
Find a new friend. |
Who cares what she thinks? Also-this is your business and you are under no obligation to tell anybody. |
She's jealous. Not a good friend. Move on |
