She's jealous. Not a good friend. Move on

Who cares what she thinks? Also-this is your business and you are under no obligation to tell anybody.

Find a new friend.

That's very immature of her.
Congratulations on taking your health seriously and doing what's best for you.

Ignor your friends comments .. and don't share anything further ..

Lousy friend.

But who cares? What’s the harm in using the drugs? Why is it okay for an obese person but not someone wanting to lose 10 pounds?

Liar.

The new weight loss medications are only approved by the FDA for obese people and those who don’t meet the threshold but also have a related condition. They have not been tested for people outside those groups. Some of the manufacturers like Eli Lilly have specifically warned against using them for general weight loss.

I used to think as you, but I realized soon if we don’t speak out and tell the facts the stigma wont change and people who could benefit from these miracle treatments wont take them. So now I make a point of telling everyone who asks how I lost weight, even when I don’t want to . It has been surprisingly well received, at least to my face.

Put down the Cheetos and get out of mom’s basement, incel.

So quit telling people! So many people who take these meds are ridiculously sensitive and approval-seeking about them. Nobody needs to know you’re on them. Nobody has to approve for it to work for you. It’s like there’s a self-respect gene missing in some people that causes them to treat themselves in a way that they then become obese and also have a compulsion to seek outside approval from others about their own medical care.
