[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lost about 80 pounds, steadily over almost 3 years. I started around 220 lbs, and now I weigh 140 lbs. I do intermittent fasting, drink very little alcohol, adhere to 8 hours sleep, walk daily, weight training 2-3x wk. These are not overnight fixes for weight loss and health. I also don't obsessively talk about my weight loss struggles and the work I've put in. The loss was pretty slow and steady, and when you are bigger, no one notices the first 30-40 pounds of weight loss anyway. No one seemed to notice that I had lost weight until I hit about 160 lbs. Now, people are constantly asking me if I'm on Ozempic and giving me knowing looks, or will outright accuse me of lying when I say that I'm not. I am 40s, 5'6" and went from a size 16 to a size 8.

I should not care. I do not judge people who use Ozempic. These new drugs are amazing and life changing for many people. I have friends who are on it and happy and heallthy. I am happy for them. I did not consider taking it because I am on some other medications for other conditions, and even if I was a candidate, I can't afford the meds any way! Still, I can't shake the upset feelings I am having over people thinking I did take it. Others perception of me should not matter so much, but why does this issue feel so bad?[/quote]

Just tell them yes. Who cares.[/quote]
