[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of people who are normal weight but simply can’t grapple and have such a problem with those of us taking these drugs is astounding. [/quote]

I don't have a problem with people taking the drugs who need them.

I am concerned with the [b]idea that we should encourage people to eat whatever and however much they want[b] (because there is "no evidence" that telling them to eat healthy and exercise does any good).  Then, when they eat their way to obesity, "don't worry, there's a drug for that."  [/quote]

Are the people encouraging this in the room right now?

Literally no one is saying this or doing this. You have completely made that up. You know there are benefits to health-seeking behaviors like eating a nutritious varied diet with limited processed foods and exercising even if they don’t lead to permanent weight loss, right?[/quote]

Yes, but encouraging people to exercise personal accountability by eating healthy foods for their health is seen as "fat shaming" on this board, bizarrely.  [/quote]

I am a fat person on Ozempic. I don't like being fat and I don't accuse others of fat shaming. However, I am surprised that people still think they are telling me something new when they talk about healthy eating etc. I've heard it all before, I lost weight countless times, I worked with numerous trainers, I very well aware of how much calories various foods have. I am sure some young people don't know that stuff but everyone over 25 who has struggled with weight pretty much all info they will ever need.[/quote]

They are just deeply mentally disordered. The impact of Ozempic is forcing them to reckon with their own serious mental health problems, and they don’t like it. [/quote]

Where are you seeing a mental disorder?  People who track what they eat to ensure they don't become obese?  That is what everyone should be doing, so they can avoid getting to the place where only drugs can help them.[/quote]

I see a mental disorder in the posters who are clearly livid that the success of these drugs (and the way they curb impulse eating) demonstrates that weight management simply isn’t a matter of “discipline” or “personal accountability.” These posters are irrationally angry at the very existence of Ozempic/Wegovy. The mental disorder comes from the inability to accept what the hard scientific evidence is showing. There is a desperate clinging to what are now obviously just cultural myths.

It’s a sign of deep mental illness, probably borne out of a lifetime of disordered thinking. It’s sad, but the world is leaving these folks behind. [/quote]
