Lol, I'm on it and it doesn't "bother" me to hear that, it just sounds ridiculous.

No one would call what I've been through -- for over a year now -- on Wegovy "the easy way." The side effects can be hellish. But the long term effects of obesity are as well.

It's the easy way compared to consistent diet and exercise. Again, if you need some help... great. But the reason why people are taking these meds in the first place is because making the right dietary and exercise choices to lose weight (and keep it off) is incredibly challenging to stick with.

A size 12 to a 4??? Come on- that is just a lack of discipline. That’s not even who the drugs were designed for. Uneeded costly pharmaceuticals, yeah, I’m against. But- for the truly obese and diabetics sure- not the Real Housewives.

So you are not one of the people who have a true medical need to lose weight. I think the vanity users trigger the gossipers then the medical users are all lumped into that same vanity category.

The women that are in their 50s and did it in my neighborhood aged 15 years in a few months time. That brittle boned old lady look. A few look like they are wearing an 8-year old boy’s jeans.

Because they don't get accused of doing it the wrong and lazy way. So why would they be defensive when not attacked?

You are doubting the fact that diet and exercise is the better, and more challenging way?

Better? No it’s not better. Are you doubting the fact that people taking these meds are doing diet and excerxise? Because I worked out 6 days a week and made a hell of a lot of changes to my diet.

Yes, I absolutely doubt that all or even a significant majority of the people taking these drugs exercise 6 days a week and eat healthfully.

That’s because you choose to stay ignorant. That’s totally on you.

I eagerly await your support for the claim that all or a significant majority of people on this drug are *actually* exercising 6 days a week and eating healthfully. You know, so I don’t stay ignorant.

I told you what I did. You are the one making a claim that majority of the people do not. So the burden of proof is on you, moron.

So you don’t have any. Thanks that’s what I thought.

You’re an even bigger idiot than I thought.

I know men on the drug as well, and their reaction is so different. Many tell everyone and they don’t have the same shame. I can’t imagine any of them getting upset with anyone calling it the easy or lazy way out. Most I know would say: damn straight.

Instead, here, we have posters who are so sensitive that they just swear at other posters.

Why do you care if it’s anything? You’re thin and happy right? This is none of your business!!!!

This is a discussion board. Why are you here if you don’t want to discuss? Just to stomp out view points you are too sensitive to hear? The topic is in the title of the thread, no surprises here.

As I stated repeatedly, I take these drugs. I know how they work first hand. You are not on these drugs. You have no idea how they impact people. You aren’t here to learn or discuss. You are here to shit on people for sport. Why do you feel the need to do that?

Look at your language. No one is sh*tting on you. That is your own sensitivity speaking. There is only one side swearing at the other.

Your gaslighting is not working on me. I see you for who you truly are. A miserable, bitter person who needs to lash out at people to make herself feel better.

No gaslighting and lashing out. You folks are the ones swearing at posters.

Calling us lazy and telling us we took the easy way out is lashing out in my book. It is totally unprovoked. I am still baffled as to why you need to say something like that. You aren't "discussing" anything as you claimed.

Do you see the topic of this thread? This is not a general thread on the use of GLP1s and poster called someone lazy. It’s a thread about reasons for gossiping and shaming people. It’s not unprovoked, That’s the topic. I’m still baffled why you are here if don’t want to read these comments.

Oh I've read all of the comments. Even the ones Jeff deleted. You clearly haven't though. The ones I'm referring to simply said, "Those who take the drugs are lazy." So are you saying that the gossiping in such a way are right? Are you saying you disagree with them? This is personal to me since I take the drugs. What bearing does this have on your life?

Are you reporting comments here? Did you report even one with insults and swears at the “anti” people. I’m guessing no.

You are free to report yourself. I'm assuming the button works the same way for you as it does for me.

Oh no, I want it to be clear who is doing the swearing and flying off the handle. But please don’t pretend you are into civil discourse when you selectively report.

This. The lack of self reflection on part of the PP who continually hurls ad hominems, is pretty telling.

No need to sockpuppet dear.

Sweetheart, ask Jeff - I'm a different poster. Or just report it, since truth is hard for you. It's the easy way out

I'm glad you're showing everyone what a nice person you are. Just a delight.

Every accusation is a confession with you, apparently.
