[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume everyone who has lost weight is on a GLP. [/quote]

I am guessing you know that this assumption doesn't hold in all cases. I have lost 35 to 40 pounds in the past year. I just accepted the weight gain, which happened over perhaps ten years, as "one gets older and plumper." But a year ago I found out I have a disease for which weight gain is a symptom. Untreated, the disease can be lethal. I am now under treatment for the underlying disease (no weight loss medications involved), which is why I have lost the weight.

I have had three people ask me about the weight loss, two of whom were close enough they knew about the disease. I don't mind telling people about the disease because it would have been caught much earlier had I simply had a physical every year, (One of the routine tests would have indicated the problem.) I didn't bother with physicals because I felt perfectly fine. That was a mistake on my part, and I don't mind reminding people that yearly testing is important.

Based on this thread, I now assume the people who don't ask think I am on a GLP-1.[/quote]
