[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Welp, my best friend just called me a "lazy b--ch" for starting Wegovy. 
My BMI is around 27--27.5. My doctor didn't suggest I take it, but I asked and she was willing to prescribe it to me because I've been struggling with weight gain since I started perimenopause. My friend's BMI is over 32 and she's developed some weight-related health issues over the past few years. I don't think she should take weight loss meds if she doesn't want to, of course, and her doctor hasn't recommended them. But after calling me a lazy b--ch, she went on a tirade about how weight loss meds are for morbidly obese diabetics with heart disease. 
Now I feel like shit. 
Has anyone else gotten a reaction like this? I'm a bit concerned about this friendship now. [/quote]

The insult was uncalled for. But the reality is that people like you who are using it for cosmetic reasons, i.e. just to lose weight, are normalising the idea that older women should be slimmer and creating a new beauty ideal which will be hard to achieve without medicating. I kind of resent you all for the exacerbating the societal pressure for women to forever remain slender and weight conscious. Please don’t complain when, somewhere down the line, it turns out that there are negative long-term effects which you weren’t aware of. You chose this path.[/quote]

Whoaaa what a crazy take. If you want to let yourself go fine, but own it. [/quote]

DP, I agree with this PP. That you call the take crazy and think PP must have let herself go to hold this view, is exactly the point she was making.[/quote]
