If you are hardworking and disciplined in your eating, you wouldn’t get to be obese in the first place

If people had self control, they wouldn’t have problems from depression or anxiety.

This.

I was on Ozempic for a year before ozempic was a “thing”. I was on it for elevated A1C. I’ve been off ozempic for al2 years after losing 60lbs. My weight never goes over 4 lbs of my ending goal weight. My BMI went from 31 to 22. I went off it because I switched jobs had a high deductible and didn’t want to pay for it OOP. My doctor was not supportive. Here is what has happened since:

1. I have maintained my weight loss for 2 years.
2. I am off statins
3. I am off blood pressure meds
4. I no longer have sleep apnea
5. I am no longer insulin resistant
6. I am no longer on SSRIs
7. I no longer see an endocrinologist
8. I feel so good in my body and work out 6 days a week. Including clocking in 20 miles a week jogging along with 3 days weight lifting and 3 days Pilates.

Haters gonna hate. IDNGAF. I am 100% pharma free and I have ozempic to thank for that.

That’s a great result. How old are you? I wonder how it would work for women in midlife.

Don’t even bother arguing with her, she’s a complete pig through and through. Anyone who wasn’t the girl Fat Bastard is her enemy for life.

I don’t know why people are engaging with the trolls. Just keep taking the drug and losing/keeping the weight off and living your best life.

NP. Why not?

*I* certainly don't have any problems with depression or anxiety. Giving in to self-pity and self-destructiveness are just the habits they should have avoided from the beginning. I don't have any problem maintaining my mental health, and all of my friends who work hard to maintain their mental health manage to do it just fine. People need to try harder.

I even know someone who used to be suicidal 2o years ago, but she's developed better habits since then. So that means everyone can, right?

[/s, in case it wasn't clear]

If you want to say it isn't analogous, you're going to have to explain why. You don't get a freebie on the claim.

It means most people are lazy and are looking for a short cut.

You can see depression on the brain in PET scans. It’s the antecedent of any destructive habit or pattern: it’s not really equivalent to you repeatedly purchasing too much food,
overeating, declining to move. You’re full of it, and you will be again full of it relatively quickly.

Apparently you can see fat on the bodies of people you think are lazy, too. But not on mine -- this isn't my problem, and neither is depression. Sorry that this particular insult isn't useful to you today.

Also, I don't believe you that you can "see depression on PET scans" before there are any depressive symptoms. Citation?

LOL. The stupidity of this comment is so deeply ironic. What exactly do you think GLP1 meds do, if not change brain chemistry?

Yay we finally have a promising medical treatment to a major public health emergency!! People are so bitter about not being able to punish fat folks. Our air quality is quite poor these days. Should we weed out the weak lunged asthmatics amoung us by denying them inhalers and steroids? This is how people want to treat obesity.

-btw I’m naturally skinny but know it’s mostly due to genes and metabolism.

Can’t folks comment on those threads though instead of starting new ones? Or use the search function for the information they need in regards to these medications? It IS getting repetitive.

Or they have serious metabolic disorders that make losing weight almost impossible, and that extra weight is seriously increasing their risk of heart attack and stroke, so they weigh the risk of the drug against that.

Oh and also, Your Judginess, you still have to exercise and eat in a deficit while on the drug.

The inner fat girl will always show. You’ll be back to sumo sized in two years.

Not np, but WOW! Shame on you, such a mean, nasty thing to say to anyone, even a stranger. Good luck in life.

Lazy? I’m a Hepatologist and am on semaglutides and beg to differ. Lazy is spending 12 years in school and then 3 years as a fellow? Lazy is working 60hrs a week? Lazy is assisting with liver transplant care? Yea I’m lazy alright. You know who else is lazy? My patients with fatty liver. You know what most of them
have in common? They are busting their lazy asses at work. They are trying to put food on the table and give their kids a good life and their health is what is sacrificed. I have Medicaid patients who have busted their lazy asses their entire lives at brutally hard jobs whose bodies and up completely breaking down and are now not able to work. One of my current patients was a career housekeeper and also worked a 2nd job overnight as a road worker on paving projects. Do you have any idea what kid of chaos ilthr body goes through with night shift work? Ask me how I know. Better yet read the multiple studies about night shift work and the health implications. Alarmingly I have lazy ass kids coming into my clinic more than ever with fatty liver disease. Children with fatty liver. The current estimate is that 10%! of US kids have fatty liver. That’s staggering. These lazy kids are in desperate need for a pediatric Hepatologist, but many people aren’t as lazy as me and want to do what it takes to do this job. Americans are a lot of things, but lazy is not one of them.

I hope semaglutides wipe me out of a job. I’m on the back end of seeing what obesity does and it does not boil down to lazy. Because of my career being on the front lines of obesity mortality, I got on semaglutides myself when I saw dramatic reversal of fatty liver disease in some of my patients. Not to even mention what a miracle it is for reducing alcohol consumption. There are many hormonal and environmental factors that we are just learning more about that contribute to obesity. Semaglutides in my experience (I can assure you I know more about the effects of obesity than you) are a life saving therapeutic treatment and should be dispensed more freely than they are now.

People are not obese because they are lazy, just the same that people are not anorexic because they are hardworking.

Stop being such a lazy keyboard warrior and do some real research. Your attitude is antiquated and intellectually lazy.

Thank you for sharing a thoughtful, albeit, painful reality for many. And, thank you for your work and dedication. This is what those in doubt need to read more about, those wanting to use these drugs for their vanity, shame on them.

Maybe we need one thread on semalglutides.
