[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always been on the smaller side, but not necessarily skinny. I have always been an athlete. I have some curves, but was always a size 2 or 4 at biggest throughout my adulthood. I hit menopause during the pandemic and put on about 8-10 lbs. (this is a guess based on the periodic doctors appointments--I don't weight myself), which on my 5' 3" frame isn't that noticeable to most, but does not feel great to me. I am disciplined about exercise, running 3.5-4 miles 6 days a week, plus 2 weight sessions and 1 pilates workout. I lack as much discipline with food. I eat mostly healthy but drank too much and got addicted to sweets during the pandemic. While I only drink a glass or two a week now, I still eat sweets and some snacks. But I don't count calories, nor do I want to. I have been fine with maintaining where I am, even though I don't love it. But now, every single person I know who was even remotely overweight is skinny-like really skinny.[b] Even people I barely know but see on Facebook, they're all clearly on Ozempic.[/b] It's making me feel large and undisciplined and starting to make me depressed. But I have no desire to take the drugs or count calories--what do I do?! [/quote]

You are telling yourself stories. For whatever reason.

At any rate, no one on Wegovy (that is the drug prescribed for weight loss, not Ozempic) should make you "feel large." We started out obese. It's a drug for obesity. Anyone on Wegovy would be thrilled to be in your position. Oh, and at least for me, I've lost 37 pounds but the side effects are pretty horrific. And I have about the same amount of pounds still to go.

What should you do? You know what to do, FFS. Get over yourself. [/quote]
