[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 think the difference is that while the friend is taking the time and effort to do all the steps, some who are obese are not willing to try the proven steps to lose weight. They are eating the wrong food, drinking alcohol and not moving their bodies. This is what I see with the obese people in my life. So far they don't have diabetes so I'm not sure if they would qualify, but I'd love for them to take the drug to get healthy. I would not be jealous or think they are taking anything from me. I'm thin but not someone who can eat whatever I want and not gain.
