[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sisters look miserable whenever food is on the table. They're both very, very skinny "thanks" to these drugs, but I'd say it has definitely taken away their joy of sharing a meal. It also makes me uncomfortable TBH. I feel guilty simply enjoying a decent portion of good, healthy food.[/quote]

I'm wondering if "feel guilty simply enjoying a decent portion of good, healthy food" is what makes PP "uncomfortable." The tone here sounds like she's jealous of their weight loss and wants to justify her own eating. [/quote]

Np.  [b]Not everything is jealousy. [/b] I am guessing it’s similar to being around someone on an overly strict diet who either glares at you while you eat or makes comments about “I could never eat en entire chicken breast”.  [/quote]

Agree that not everything is jealousy.

But people who make comments like PP? Yeah, that's usually from a place of jealousy. [/quote]

- Not jealous of their weight loss (and don’t need to lose weight myself). I am genuinely happy for them, but it hasn’t made them any happier as people. [/quote]

Well honey that’s not what it’s for. Some people were miserable fat and they will be miserable skinny. I had to join those online Reddit groups to learn about how to successfully take the weight loss medication, and I can see that a lot of those people have opted to do therapy and serious work on their eating issues in addition to the medication. Other people won’t do it and that’s a personal choice. I can say they were probably unhappy fat and it’s probably healthier for them to be unhappy skinny.[/quote]

I am on it and have lost 40 pounds. I did not do this to be happy. I did it to lose weight, and be healthier. I had several weight related illnesses that are much better now. [b]That prior poster just can’t admit how jealous they are[/b] and they’re twisting themselves into knots trying to deny it.[/quote]

Just keep telling yourself that.  :lol:

(not the PP to whom you’re referring)[/quote]

I’m not telling myself that. I’m telling you that.[/quote]
