[quote=Anonymous]I say "let" in quotes as she is technically an adult but she is asking me for my opinion.  We have a strong/great relationship. 
She's about 5'4" and a size 8/10.  So not heavy but not thin.  BMI is right on the edge of overweight because of her height (25?)
She eats incredibly well and exercises 5 days a week (goes to they gym and walks/runs on the treadmill for several miles).

She really, really wants to go on Ozempic.  She has the money and can get it from a licensed provider. 
What says DCUM?  This is a kid who has been plagued by her weight (it has frustrated her to no end) since she filled out at age 14 and all her friends stayed thin. Frankly, it seems to be her "set point". We (me, my mom, aunts) are just sturdier people.  We are not built long and lean. We have to eat really well or we gain weight quickly.

I have never said anything about ANYTHING size/weight to her (I'm actually very proud of myself in this regard) so please keep this to my question and not some detour off onto how I am a terrible parent.

Thank you!
