So let's just say for example your dear sweet darling highly intelligent DS was accepted at an Ivy, and he was accepted because of his hard work, extra curriculars, essay, interview - would you not feel even the tiniest bit annoyed, upset, angry that your country club friends assumed and comment that he was accepted only because you paid off the school?

NP. I guess I don't understand why everyone thinks that taking one of these medications is cheating. If you don't need one to lose weight, that's great. However, so many factors go into weight gain and loss it's not like there is an even playing field for everyone. Most people who are losing weight with these medications, including me, are also eating healthfully and exercising. If you want to feel superior, just tell everyone you meet that you lost weight with diet and exercise alone so that you can get the accolades you need to feel superior.

You got it wrong. What you should be asking is:

So let's just say for example your dear sweet darling highly intelligent DS was accepted at an Ivy, and he was accepted because of his hard work, extra curriculars, essay, interview and you are able to pay FULL PRICE - would you not feel even the tiniest bit annoyed, upset, angry that your country club friends assumed and comment that he was going only because you got FINANCIAL AID?

It sounds like you were not even a candidate for Ozempic, which is indicated for diabetics. Feel free to correct people in this way rather than being a judgmental b___.

It's a trade off, PP. People need to weigh the risks of remaining obese vs potential side effects of the medication.

Why do you care what other people think, OP? You know what you did, and you are a healthier person as a result. No matter how the weight was lost, the person is HEALTHY.

I am on Wegovy FOR MY HEALTH. I have tried to lose weight by starving myself and exercising and I always hit a certain plateau. Wegovy is helping me get past that plateau. It's also helping my A1C and blood pressure get lower, so it is helping me get healthier. I really don't GAF what you and the PPs on this thread think about HOW I'm losing weight. I just care that I'm getting healthy.

If you lost weight for superficial reasons, then fine, you reached your goal too. Your goal was different from mine and that's okay.

DP. That is BS that nobody cares. You will see a million comments about medication on every thread involving a person who lost weight and an insistence that anyone who says they are not on it is lying (as if this were the first time weight loss drugs had ever been available).

Oh, I would enjoy those questions. I would just tell them that it is perfectly possible to lose fat without drugs and ask them if they need tips.

People who comment on other people's bodies are rude and tacky.
