[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been overweight my whole life (anywhere from high end of normal to 70ishlbs, currently sitting at about 30lbs) and I definitely think some thin people who are just normally thin are taking notice regarding these meds.  It's like fat people are taking away their moral superiority for their thinness.

I liken it to acne.  I have GREAT skin.  Genetics, I guess? Luck?  I sometimes sleep with make up on, I don't use serums, get botox, anything.  I have friends who do everything right - 7 step skin care, sunscreen religiously, water, sleep and they have bad breakouts.  In theory, my lacksidasical efforts should not reward me good skin.  I didn't earn it.  But I have it.  Just like some people have bodies that they didn't "earn".  If there was suddenly an injection that could give my friend perfect skin, would I be mad? [/quote]

I totally agree. I’m not obese, but I think the analogy is spot on. For me, I’m very lucky in that I’m a naturally happy, even-keeled person. And it’s not that I have not had awful things happen, in fact I’ve experienced terrible things. But my natural mental state is that of a happy optimist. It isn’t work on part, it just is. But I’d never express the anger that some of the anti-semiglutide thin folks are on this thread towards antidepressants. What I achieve easily, through a quirk of genetics and brain chemistry, my friends need drugs for. And that is great that they have that option. Why would I be angry about that? I’m happy they are finally happy, not angry and resentful about it like some of the PPs are about this class of drugs. I just don’t understand where this clear anger and misery from the anti-drug PPs on this thread is coming from. [/quote]
