[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][B]I don’t think anyone who is not obese will be upset that people lost weight taking a drug. I think the PP constantly posting about this has a mental health problem and is imagining this.[/B]

If the drugs are safe and widely available they could have a huge positive ripple effect. Obesity is a horrible health condition and costs the US $$$ in health care spending. If we return to a state where obesity is uncommon and people are not seeking out huge portions or a constant supply of high fat, high carb foods then the restaurant and food industry will respond to the changing demand with smaller normal portions.

I’m the PP with the friend who posted above. There are multiple people in this thread posting about how angry some posters are about the availability of the drug (and that anger is clearly visible; your denial of that is odd). I posted about how therapists are responding and there were other posts that weren’t mine. However, given that therapists in the field are currently having professional discussions about how to help patients address their profound anger, jealousy, and resentment about the existence of these drugs and other people taking them, I’d say that you are also in denial about how widespread and common that response is.

You might want to reflect on why it’s so important to you to deny reality. [/quote]

That is not reality.  I don’t know what more to tell you.  People fabricate things on anonymous forums all the time.  Do you really think heathy weight people are seeking therapy bc they are distraught and jealous over these meds, or talking about their imaginary anger toward them in work break rooms? I have no doubt these are made up posts.  No one does this or is even thinking about them.  If not for these threads I wouldn’t even be aware these meds exist.  Please stop wasting energy thinking anyone cares if you take them [/quote]

Well, given that I have a real-life friend with a real-life therapist who is talking to real-life other therapists about this specific issue, I’m going to believe them, over an angry anonymous online poster like you. You are correct that people make up things online, and your increasingly-desperate-sounding insistence that the anger is “made up” goes into the category of made-up things online for me. I’m going to stick with what I see in my real life to reach my conclusions, thanks. [/quote]
