[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree OP.  They should be available for every woman in peri-menopause. I still enjoy eating but I don't constantly think about it all day long. [/quote]

No, the really unpopular opinion is that so many excuses here are just about lack of discipline and it’s very sad for our population that you need pharmaceuticals rather than implementing and maintaining good habits

You think saying everyone should get weight loss drugs is unpopular? Look around, it’s an echo chamber.[/quote]
I am very confident when I say that I was doing everything right in terms of exercising and tracking calories, and was still gaining weight in peri-menopause.  It was not lack of good habits.  [/quote]

Are you eating and exercising the same amount as before?[/quote]

And to be clear, I am extremely skeptical that you are eating as much on this drug as you were off it. The whole point of this drug slows down your digestion and suppresses hunger.[/quote]

It does more than that. It also affects insulin resistance, which is a big reason why fat is stored on the body. It's not just an appetite suppressant. [/quote]

So are you eating the same as before?[/quote]
I'm certain I'm eating less.  (I never claimed I wasn't - you made that up.  I said I had good habits.) But before I was counting every calorie and completely obsessed with food and still gaining weight despite working out.  I am a very disciplined person but I couldn't cut enough calories to lose weight and maintain it without eventually falling off the wagon and binging.  If you don't know, you don't know.  I am 100% confident I did what I reasonably could to avoid taking it, and I feel better taking it.  No one needs to justify it. [/quote]

My post was tongue in cheek because of course you are eating less and losing weight. Discipline would be to eat at or under your caloric limit and not over. It’s hard, but no you were not disciplined. You ate over your body’s limit.  That’s just life. [/quote]
You clearly don't understand female hormones during peri menopause.  Please kindly F off. [/quote]

Agree. Women gain, on average 12 lbs a decade, which is twice as much as men.  We're lucky to have this newish drug. [/quote]
