Uniformed nonsense is what you are writing here. |

Good lord I would never inject this stuff into myself if I was as thin as OP says she is. It’s expensive, it’s one more thing to keep track of supply-wise, and I get itchy for a few days around the injection site.
I do it because I have serious food noise and am obese, and it’s the only thing that’s worked after years and years of trying to lose weight. |

To OP: If your body is giving you hunger signals because you are in fact hungry and your body needs nutrients, that is not "food noise." It's your body functioning properly. If you have a BMI of 19 and you're constantly having intrusive thoughts about food, the answer isn't to suppress the food noise. The answer is to eat more.
GLPs are designed to help those who are overeating - not those who are under-eating, but want to make it more comfortable to starve themselves. There's a reason why doctors don't prescribe them if you're at a healthy weight. |
why are people so mad? OP is 45yrs. old, not a teenage girl with eating disorders. I'm going through menopause at 50 and it's hell to keep my weight. I mean, I get bloated and gain weight from drinking water, geez! |
No one is mad. OP is probably a troll doing a lot of sock puppeting. If not, then they likely do have an eating disorder. Are you borderline underweight right now? There is a huge difference between fighting to remain a size 00 and fighting to not be plus sized. |
That's just called having a human body |
Eating disorders can occur at any age; they aren’t exclusive to teenagers. |
If you and OP think a GLP is a valid, healthy choice, then get your regular general practitioner to prescribe it or give you their blessing for seeking it online. If the person who has been monitoring your height, weight, bloodwork, and mental health thinks that a GLP would be helpful for you, who am I to say otherwise? Also, don't lie about the GLP to all of your other doctors when you fill out the pre-appointment paperwork. If they're all pushing back on you or suggesting that you need help for an eating disorder, listen to them. If instead you need to lie to a shady telehealth practice to get the GLP, and then lie to all of your doctors that you're on it, that should tell you something. |
PP here, I am fighting NOT to be in plus size but breathing air and menopause are making me gain weight. So, I'm actually borderline overweight right now. |
|
I agree with the PPs that you need to see a therapist.
My step-daughter went on a glp1 and lost a lot of weight. She also lost a lot of hair and now has to wear extensions to cover up how sparse her hair got. She couldn't afford it after a year or two, so she went off and gained back most of the weight. However, her hair didn't go back to normal. |
So you're nothing at all like OP. OP is on the low side of being at a healthy weight, and she wants to lie to her doctor to get a medication that will almost certainly make her be at an unhealthy weight. You're at a borderline unhealthy weight and want to be at a healthy one. You might be a reasonable candidate for a glp, and your regular doctor might be willing to prescribe one. |

Why Women With Eating Disorders Are Turning to Ozempic
Some find freedom from food noise. https://www.elle.com/beauty/health-fitness/a66130240/ozempic-use-eating-disorders-interview-2025/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=mgu_ga_elm_md_pmx_prog_org_us_17925201838&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=17923888557&gbraid=0AAAAADCsZxdWIfNtMaD7_TRC7gt9awa8s&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-M33is-glAMVf0X_AR1yLCPqEAAYASAAEgIPmvD_BwE |
| You do know that glp1 dugs have adverse side effects? You are absolutely off your rocker to take an unnecessary medication. |
So irresponsible. |
The article was not suggesting that this was a good thing. If anything, it cautioned against using GLPs without a doctor's supervision and thought that GLPs would be especially dangerous for people with anorexia. |
