A lot of the advice on this website is from women who have eating disorders or borderline disordered eating.

You sound like one of those "body positivity" types that equates any diet with anorexia.

She’s a healthy weight, she literally is not overweight, she probably wears a size medium or 8, and she doesn’t need to diet.

That's not your body. You don't get to tell other women what to do with their body.

Umm. More importantly her MD does get to tell her she won’t prescribe the drugs because OP does not meet the criteria. Lying to your MD to get an Rx is wrong.

"wrong"

Celebrities do it

Are you seriously arguing that lying to your MD is okay because celebrities do it? Seriously?

If you lie on telehealth to get the meds, are you planning to lie to your primary care about taking the meds? What if you have serious side effects? What if there’s a bad reaction with other drugs you’re taking? How much lying are you willing to do?

If you have a bad reaction or side effects you can just stop taking it. I did tell my PCP. I don’t take any other meds.
Why are you so concerned about what someone else does with their body?

Because I have a college aged daughter and I see the damage that our society’s obsession with women being as small as possible does to her and her friends.

Damage?? Are her male classmates calling her a cow or something?

Seriously, you don’t know any girls with eating disorders?

I know plenty of girls who take pride in their appearance by exercising and watching their diets. Whether they are also incorporating a GLP-1 is their business. But at least they're not stuffing their faces and calling themselves "thick" or curvy" at a size 22.

That's not quite true. There's been recent steps to curb it, but some 503b compounding pharmacies, which are FDA inspected, will fill a teleheath script. I just had one delivered the other day and I feel confident the medication is safe.

Other women do not have a duty to stay heavier than they like because it's better (in your mind) for your dd. Plus the fact that your dd has absolutely no idea if 50yo Suzie next door lost weight because she's running more and eating better or taking a GLP1 or all of the above. And I bet she also does not care!

Good grief. Grown women are willing to lie to their MDs, their spouses, and risk their health just to be smaller. What does it take for you to see the problem? OP has a daughter, does she have a duty to care about the impact on her child?
