I'm happy you're losing, but sad that you think diet awareness and exercise isn't an important part of life. No matter how much weight you lose, you'll never be successful with that belief.

Not really. Fillers routinely over years will leave you with a messed up looking face |
It doesn’t. Unless you gain weight back |
Well I haven’t been exercising as I have been recovering from a shattered ankle, and my nutrition is great! I don’t have to count calories or limit any food groups or consciously diet. I’ve always eaten very healthily so that hasn’t changed, I just don’t get as hungry anymore. But not everyone wants to or can eat mostly nutritious whole foods or make exercise a big part of their life. It’s better for them to eat crap and never exercise and be a normal weight than have it and remain obese. That’s why these medications are so great. |
DP but omg I’m so sorry about your ankle. That sounds horrible. |
I am also on Ozempic and lost almost 50 lbs so I'm not against the drug at all. I think it's great that you and I are losing weight. But the bolded part above is absolutely not true. You can improve your bloodwork significantly by changing what you eat even if you don't necessarily lose weight. Excercise can also help great for many many reason even if you are obese. So I wholeheartedly disagree that it's better to eat junk and not be fat. |
It is absolutely true. I wasn't very clear in what I said though, I edited half the sentence and it didn't make sense anymore. If they're going to eat junk and not exercise either way, and there is a significant population that is like this due to lack of education, poverty, or pure willfullness, it's far healthier for them to be that way and be a normal BMI than remain obese. |
Oh thank you, not gonna lie but it's been the worst. Two surgeries so far and no guarantee I won't need another one. That's why this drug feels like a miracle, to have lost so much weight while almost completely sedentary and largely unable to cook my normal meals at home. I shudder to think what would have happened if I didn't coincidentally start Ozempic a few weeks before I fell (flip flop caught while walking down deck steps. I tumbled down and my foot did not come with me). |
I'm not this lady. I have been thin, normal weight, overweight, and obese. I find the talk about overweight or obese people to be rife with judgement and a definite feeling of moral superiority. I don't think it's unhinged at all to observe and believe this, especially when you have people posting fake gloom and doom scenarios and then "warnings" like, everything comes at a price. I think she's spot on. |
Nope. I'm not nasty or judgemental. Again, anything is possible, but unlikely she got surgery since she is afraid, had limited health insurance, and watched my kids two times a week. Maybe somehow she got over her fear, found money laying around to afford the surgery, and recovered in three days so she could continue watching toddlers. If it makes you feel better to think that rather than believe the fact that she made dietary and lifestyle changes and has successfully maintained says a lot about you. Just because you haven't been able to do it, you'd rather decide that eventually she will fail instead of celebrating her success. That seems pretty nasty to me. |
| The ozempic threads really bring out people's true colors. Rigid hateful skinnies who need to eat a snickers bar. And overweight people who need to knock the chip off their chubby shoulders. |
| You gain all the weight back when you go off the drugs. |
Dp. Oof! That is terrible. I hope you recover soon. |
Thanks, Doc.

Agreed, and I’m not that PP either, nor am I taking ozempic. Anyone who says “confirmed mental illness” is dumb anyhow. What a moron. |
