[quote=Anonymous]The sheer volume of judgment and lack of information here is overwhelming. The DCUM consensus is that if you’re fat, it’s because you don’t have any willpower. There’s some sort of moral failing on your part because you can’t lose weight. It’s sad to see how many posters come to these threads spewing such garbage. One PP is seriously telling someone to just stop with the excuses. Clearly there is something more going on.

There is more and more research pointing to obesity being a metabolic issue. Rather than treating it with behavioral changes, treatment needs to focus on the physiology. This is why semaglutides have the potential to be a real game changer. I’ve one account of a woman who finally saw success with weight loss after starting on a semaglutide. The cravings and constant thinking about food were gone. For so many years she was beating herself up because she struggled with the cravings and mindless eating. This drug helped tamp those down, and she could just eat, feel full right away and move on.

It makes me think about alcoholism—I’m not an alcoholic and can take or leave it. I rarely drink and more importantly spend so little time thinking about it. But there are people who think about alcohol all.the.time. I’m not a better person than that alcoholic with stronger will power. There’s got to be something physiological going on. It makes me wonder if these drugs (semaglutides) could have a similar impact on alcohol addiction.
