[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s the only context in which I would share, to help someone asking me for tips. But it has not come up in that way since only always-thin people have commented and asked. So no, [b]I just lie and say it’s exercise and different food habits (I have lost very slowly and do exercise a lot).[/b] [/quote]

My SIL took over the conversation at a family dinner recently bragging about how she's lost over 50lbs working with a personal trainer. At the end of the evening, after impressing and amazing everyone with all of this, she says to me "I'm also on the GSPs like you are." I said "Do you mean a GLP-1"? She said "Yes." She was (and still is) quite obese, so working with the personal trainer involved being able to walk to the end of the block and back. She still does not use the upstairs in her house because she can't use the stairs. In other words, don't picture her in a gym doing squats and lifting weights.

Yes, being able to walk to the end of the block was good progress for her. But FFS. The trainer probably had 2% at most to do with her weight loss. I'm not against GLP-1 weight loss, I've lost over 70lbs on Wegovy. But let's stop the lying. I'm not interested in discussing my weight with people, but I'm going to set boundaries like an adult rather than "just lie" as you put it.

You sound awful, PP. At least your SIL is trying to lose weight, but it sounds like you're not trying at all to lose your a-holery.[/quote]

Yeah, sure, let’s all be liars. [/quote]

Yet your sil did not lie and you wrote a whole essay about how terrible she is. She should have lied. Some people are not to be trusted with personal info.[/quote]

I agree. The SIL is so obese that she struggles to walk down the block and go upstairs so she clearly needs the medication and admits it. So she's not even in the category of the "worst" users (those who lie and those who only need to lose vanity pounds) yet she is harshly judged. It reinforces that you will still be judged even if you 'just admit it" or whatever.[/quote]
