[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sisters look miserable whenever food is on the table. They're both very, very skinny "thanks" to these drugs, but I'd say it has definitely taken away their joy of sharing a meal. It also makes me uncomfortable TBH. I feel guilty simply enjoying a decent portion of good, healthy food.[/quote]

I'm wondering if "feel guilty simply enjoying a decent portion of good, healthy food" is what makes PP "uncomfortable." The tone here sounds like she's jealous of their weight loss and wants to justify her own eating. [/quote]

Np.  [b]Not everything is jealousy. [/b] I am guessing it’s similar to being around someone on an overly strict diet who either glares at you while you eat or makes comments about “I could never eat en entire chicken breast”.  [/quote]

Agree that not everything is jealousy.

But people who make comments like PP? Yeah, that's usually from a place of jealousy. [/quote]

- Not jealous of their weight loss (and don’t need to lose weight myself). I am genuinely happy for them, but it hasn’t made them any happier as people. [/quote]

I have spent a decade+ of my life trying to monitor food intake, eat the protein, exercise, diet, count macros, etc with zero success. After 5 months of medication, I’ve lost 20+ lbs and without really trying. I can’t believe how much better I feel and the mental space I gave dieting for so long is gone.  [/quote]

The lack of headspace required to lose weight is really the miracle of these drugs. I don’t think about food all the time anymore. I enjoy nice food but it doesn’t rule my life. [/quote]
