[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These posts are so dumb.  So much hand wringing about how other women choose to lose weight.  Why do you even care? It's like the same as those women who crow about how other women shouldn't have abortions.  Like why do they even care? You're against abortion? Then don't have one.  You're against GLP1s? Then don't take them.  Who gives a flying F if someone else does?  At least the abortion crazies have the whole "you're killing a baby" argument.  What do the GLP1 crazies have?  [/quote]

You're calling the people who are recommending caution "the GLP crazies"?  I think you have it backwards.  There is constant proselytizing, really, like they are new converts to a religion.[/quote]

It has gotten to the point where people are almost being shamed for avoiding unnecessary medical intervention. The converts cannot possibly imagine the idea that medical interventions such as GLP1 medications actually have trade offs and potential downsides. Why control your weight on your own, actually build muscle mass, eat real food, and increase your cardio vascular health when you can just short cut the whole system to “look good”? [/quote]
It's more complicated than that, and you're not helping by portraying GLP users as lazy, gluttonous cheaters.  I used to believe that anyone could control their weight on their own with diet and exercise.  It always worked perfectly for me, until I was put on medications that cause weight gain and insulin resistance.  A lot of people are in a similar boat.  GLPs have their place when used responsibly and under the supervision of a real doctor.  [/quote]
