[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, maybe I'm older than most of y'all, but in decades past, the horror stories were always out there about weight loss drugs. Because of the old drugs, I will not take any of the new drugs. [/quote]

Would you take a two-decade old diabetes drug? What about a new diabetes drug? These weren't even developed for weight loss. Weight loss was discovered after those taking it for diabetes were dropping weight. [/quote]

And thus I, who does not have diabetes, would rather wait until it's been used safely on people like me for that period of time at the weight loss dosage.[/quote]

Same. I'm not overweight nor diabetic and have no need to be a guinea pig.  Would be nice if there was a wonder drug, but there's a lot we don't know yet about long term usage.[/quote]
Many of these people are finally skinny "effortlessly", they will withstand nausea, vomiting, sulphur burps, diarrhea, etc, etc. You can't pry that needle or pill from their bony little hands. The overseeing entity (usda?) will have to issue a ban on these drugs for their population and remove them to get them to stop....unless gastric cancers or dehydration/heart issues stops them first.

I wonder if there are drugs that can help you with your character defect? Your distain for people using medication to get thin is remarkably disordered thinking. [/quote]

It's disdain, not distain. I thought people were using the drugs to get healthy, not just thin. I guess you exposed that lie.[/quote]

For this drug it’s actually *sh!tstain[/quote]

There are two very different groups that take GLPs

1. People who really have a hard time losing weight. And yes, sometimes that is because of a lack of self discipline which honestly the drug is great for. I don’t know how to explain it but it takes away cravings and food just simply doesn’t hold the place it used to. And then, the goal is once you start owing weight and feeling better you want to stay that way-so that’s when hopefully more of the self discipline kicks in. Seeing results is a huge motivator for a lot of people. People who age been overweight their entire lives going into a doctors office and being a “normal weight” changes pretty much everything. You are treated as a person, not a fat person whose only problem is being fat and everything can be fixed if they just weren’t fat. You actually get heard and taken seriously.

2. People who already have food issues (eating disorders) and can afford it and find loopholes to getting prescribed a medication that they aren’t eligible for. They abuse it-because if you are already basically starving yourself it obviously makes it easier when your appetite is severely reduced. Most of the time these are just people at a normal weight who just want to be even smaller. And that’s a problem. But that’s not GLP’s fault. That’s the people that already have problems with eating disorders fault. [/quote]
