[quote=Anonymous]Literally everyone I know seems to be on a GLP or weight loss meds and I have been hesitant up until now, but am giving it some serious thought. Looking around at my friends, colleagues and even family members on it, they all are in the best shape of their lives and just don’t think about food anymore, which is my constant struggle. And these are people who only wanted to lose 10-25 lbs.

My body wants to be 10-15 lbs heavier than I want to be so I am either strictly dieting and calorie counting to lose/maintain weight, or I eat normally (but still eat healthy 80% of the time) and weigh 10+ lbs more and just don’t feel like I look good - my clothes are tight and I carry all my weight in my stomach so people sometimes ask if I am pregnant.

My main reasons for not going on it are that my GP is opposed and isn’t a fan of the meds unless you’re diabetic/pre-diabetic (so I would need to go around her which feels awkward), and I am slightly concerned about the long-term impact that isn’t as well documented for meds like Wegovy.

Given how easy it is to get these meds now, what’s stopping others from trying them other than cost? [/quote]
