[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been on Ozempic for two years. Down 60 pounds, feel great, but if anyone asks (usually somewhat smugly) I feign ignorance and tell them it was diet and exercise. I know I shouldn’t lie but it’s just too fun to watch them seethe when they can’t tell me that I took the easy way out. [/quote]

I have a question for you based on your experience taking the drug for two years. Do you think you took the easy way out? What other changes have you made in your life?[/quote]

There was no possibility for me to lose 60 pounds and then maintain that loss for the rest of my life without this drug or bariatric surgery. So in that way I took the easy way out. I do not have what it takes to suffer through what maintaining this loss for a lifetime “naturally” requires—constant hunger, deprivation, and vigilance—after a lifetime of being obese. I do not have the self-discipline, resources, lifestyle or personality. A small percentage of people do, and that’s great for them. I don’t, which I learned over decades of losing and gaining the same 30-90 pounds three or four times over.

I have not changed much else about my life. I always ate pretty healthfully and exercised at moderate intensity frequently. I just eat less of all the same foods now, and exercise significantly less since it’s now something I do because it feels good and improves my functional fitness which I value, and not because I’m doing it to make my body smaller.
