[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They gained ALL the weight back once they stop taking the meds.[/quote]

+1000 so I'm not sure why they want to waste their money like that! Makes no sense. [/quote]

1) it's not true. Stop with the hyperbole and post some credible studies of most of people gaining weight back. Most stay on a maintenance dose for this reason.

2) We keep trying because we want to get/stay healthy. if you think that's a waste of money, that says a lot about your state of mind.[/quote]

It’s not getting or staying healthy to be on any medicine for a lifetime. It’s a cheat. [/quote]

Okay, don’t do it! You’re fine. This isn’t hurting you. [/quote]

Exactly. I guess wearing glasses your whole life is cheating so you can see? Or wearing a hearing aid cheating to hear? GTFOH with that nonsense. [/quote]

I think u need to find some better comparisons. No amount of will power is going to make someone’s eyesight or hearing better without some external mechanism. As opposed to weight loss, a person can still be doing something to lose weight. In fact, one must also change their lifestyle even when on these weight loss drugs if they want the weight loss to be permanent.

If someone is taking them purely for weight loss (like presumably some celebrities), then it is cheating. If someone is taking them bc they alrdy have diabetes or are pre diabetic or are still obese despite all efforts, that is not cheating.

And if someone is taking them bc they need to and it is medically prescribed, and they don’t change their eating and exercise regiment, then that’s really cheating. I’m assuming that few are doing this, at least I’d like to think so. [/quote]

Spoken by someone who doesn't understand that obesity is a DISEASE that willpower can't beat.  Why are you so upset that others can get healthy with these meds?  How does it affect you in any way, shape, or form?  If you are a diabetic who cannot get the meds you need, you get to be mad at those who are using them and don't need it, just want it for vanity.  But if there were enough for everyone, why would you care that some people need it and some want it for vanity?[/quote]

Because vanity kills. Diet drugs has a terrible history in the US. I highly doubt wide availability of these drugs would be good for people with eating disorders or even those who don’t have one and should not even be thinking abt losing weight.[/quote]
