I just think there are a lot of people who are jealous that people can lose weight quickly now, but they forget that the vast majority of people using these drugs are taking them for health reasons. It's not Susan next door who lost 10lbs, it's Jennifer who lost 50lbs.

Why do you feel the need to lie? You could just say nothing

DP but IMO it's OK to lie when people are asking a very rude question, like if you're on medication. That's very private.

+1. Why does it matter how someone lost weight? They made a plan and committed to it. The plan they made is none of your business.

If you don’t want to answer, then don’t. Why lie? Are you embarrassed you took meds? Does it make you feel better to have people think you did it out of your own good decision making and will power?

As I said, because it’s fun

Weird that you're so invested in this. People who lie about this med are a dime a dozen. The thinning hair is the tell.

Sweetheart, you don't know anything about weight loss. I *always* lose hair when I lose weight, no matter how I've lost it (changing eating habits, hitting the gym, as a side effect of unrelated medication, and yes, on Wegovy which I couldn't stay on because of side effects). I also lose fat from my face, what you are calling "ozempic face" and omg also in my stomach and ass. Do you call those "ozempic belly" and "ozempic ass", too? So stupid.

This is not the flex that you think. Most people on Ozempic/Wegovy also watch what they eat and exercise.

I'm seeing a lot of people this month who I haven't seen since last December, and I'm getting so many explicit and implicit comments that I'm on Ozempic. Nothing wrong with being on Ozempic, but it's just frustrating that nobody thinks it's possible to lose weight any other way.

Do you think you approach was more virtuous or something

Not the OP but yes, it was.

+1. The person I know who is taking the medication is still eating and drinking all of the same things but having less of them. She isn’t exercising either.

Why does that bother you?

Fun? Sounds like you are defensive and embarrassed and will feel judged. But yeah…call it fun. While yes, no one should ask “how’d you do it” if they did, it is likely because they want to congratulate and encourage you for all the hard work it takes to lose weight. But you know that…which is probably why you lie.

DP. It’s weird how invested you are in this. Also, pretty sure fat people are used to being embarrassed and judged by people like you.
