+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]

Cheating what? Trying to stay healthy isn't some game we are playing with shortcuts. Why do you care so much? Do you derive great satisfaction in being morally superior because of your weight?

Here is a real tip. People that are actually focused on their health and not what they look like don't GAF about any of these drugs. How they look is a bi-product of their efforts and they are usually more functionally healthy and strong than whatever the ideal body even looks like. People like you are just lame. Don't you have something else to focus on?[/quote]

Calm down. You are very defensive and angry that you don’t see any of the valid points being made above about the proper use of these drugs.

It sounds like that you support/advocate its use even for those who don’t need it (like already thin celebrities). Unless you think the need to conform to society’s  ideal sizes is “healthy”.

I am calm. I am just responding to your nonsense. The idea of "cheating" here makes no sense. And no, I don't support unneeded dependence on big pharma or these drugs. But, I wouldn't go so far as to project my own self-worth by calling something "cheating."

As for your second paragraph, it just demonstrates how dense you are. The lack of critical thinking skills is astonishing. Let me re-post some of what I wrote for you to see if you can figure out what I think of "society's ideal sizes.": [b]Here is a real tip.

I am not sure how to re-write that to make it easier for you to understand. Perhaps if I posted it in wingdings?[/quote]
