[quote=Anonymous]As someone who is taking a GLP-1 because I truly was obese (now I'm just overweight, woo), I take a lot of offense at some of what people are saying here. Most of us that are taking this medication for a real medical reason are doing it under medical supervision. I see a doctor or NP, as well as a dietician, monthly. I exercise and lift weights daily. I have completely overhauled my diet. This was a lifestyle change in addition to taking a MEDICATION. It is a MEDICINE. I'm so offended by you people who are out there saying I could have just eaten less, I'm just taking this for vanity, being skinny is so important to me. Nope, this is about my HEALTH. I am taking MEDICINE to IMPROVE MY HEALTH.

So many here think it's just about being thin. It's not, it's about being healthy.

Taking this MEDICINE is no different than you taking Synthroid for your thyroid issues or prozac for your depression or Lexapro for your high anxiety. Or your little boy taking Adderall for his ADHD. I'm not here telling your son to just calm down, he doesn't need ADHD medicine, am I?[/quote]
