NP here. Every person who questions the overuse of these new drugs to not have to be bitter trolls. We all know the other shoe is going to drop. This cannot be healthy. We all need to stop talking about "food noise," and just take responsibility for our health by making good choices. Trust me, I struggle every day. I am not in the overweight category, but close and gained a lot of weight, binge eating and drinking too much during the pandemic. Now I am sadly paying the price and controlling my binge eating on my own. It can be done. It's very hard. But there is no way that starving yourself through drugs, while losing muscle, is healthy.[/quote]

You’re so awesome and amazing. You’re so much better than all of us morally corrupt folks who have to rely on drugs like Ozempic to finally lose some weight after struggling with diets, restricting food, and exercising religiously FOR DECADES. We should all be in awe of your self control while the rest of us are just inferior and lazy.

🤦🏻‍♀️

You really have no idea what you’re talking about. You ate and drank too much during the pandemic. And now you’re not even overweight. Let me guess: You went from a size 4 to a 10 and have worked your ass off to get back to a 6. Go you!!!  Come back when this has been a struggle for decades. You dismiss the “food noise” because you’ve never experienced it.

My guess is that you are someone who thinks people are just making up their depression and should get over themselves because you’ve [b]just been sad a day or two here and there.

This isn’t a drug for people who overate a little bit during the pandemic. Thi[/quote]

On the contrary, in the last 12 years I have lost two children, my identical twin sister, and my father. I know depression, trust me. I struggle with anxiety daily, including thinking about food and alcohol a lot. I don't think suppressing thoughts about food is healthy. You don't have to be so angry at people--who you don't even know--because we have a difference of opinion. I never said anything at all about the "morality" of these drugs. I said that starving yourself because these drugs suppress your thoughts about food is not healthy. It's just not. But please, do try to keep "guessing" all about me.[/quote]

I'm so sorry for your terrible losses.

I too have suffered terrible traumas.

Unfortunately, my PTSD led me to develop binge eating disorder, gaining 100 lbs. I was that person who everyone knew The Terrible Thing happened to, and people knew I gained all of that weight Because of What Happened.

I received EMDR therapy for the PTSD. By treating the PTSD, I naturally lost a lot about half of the weight. The other half stuck. On these medications, I eat about 1,800-2,100 calories a day with a welcome indifference. It doesn't make you starve yourself. It makes the panicked voice telling me to eat an entire pizza followed by a jar of peanut butter go away. That voice is gone. My trauma is still there, and I continue to work on it, and probably always will. I'm so glad there are both therapies and medications for my PTSD and my eating disorder -- and that's what I have, an eating disorder. Not also grappling with the peanut butter, pizza, and 50-100 lbs., and the voice telling me that binging will make things better, does make the load of working through my PTSD more manageable. Thanks so much for all the concern. There but for the grace of God you go. [/quote]
