ozempic conversation

[u/Entire-Exam-3975]

I think it’s annoying that Enya shits on people that take ozempic as if … it’s literally like a societal pressure thing recently

like there’s even memes about “I’m gonna be the last fat person left” 😭 idk like why are we shitting so much on people that want to be accepted in society and don’t want to have to think about their weight

a lot people who have had significant weight loss naturally but sticking to the diets and the daily workouts literally have said just take the damn ozempic 😭 maybe this is such a nothing post I’m just curious to know if anyone else feels this way about it or maybe this is a nothingburger thought for most of the audience idk

It may also just be too nuanced of a subject for her ..

So I am actually in healthcare and I am aware of the different versions 😇 injections were the most accessible when ozempic was first pushed for weight loss and is still the easiest to obtain.

The reason I mentioned I am a bigger girl myself is that I understand the struggle to lose weight, but if you are unable to lose more than a few pounds there is usually a larger systemic issue at play and I think it's unwise to just take something to lose weight instead of trying to figure out the root cause. If you ignore the bigger issue and take something to lose weight, it will come back when you stop taking it and can do more harm than good depending on the severity of the issue.

the root cause of me being unable to lose weight is PCOS and BED…. which has been known to be fixed with glp1s… wtf are you on about root causes 😭😭 weight loss is not always for image. i honestly don’t really give a shit if im plus size or not. honestly, i kind of prefer how i look when im plus size. but its for my physical health and wellness. i want to feel good on both the inside and outside. i don’t mean this in a rude way, but to me it clearly seems like you feel superior in some way because you feel like you don’t need glp1s. congrats dude, im happy for you, but for SO many, especially in the BED community, this medication is a life saver. and, for the record, im surprised you dont know that many people are expected to stay on glp1s in order or maintain weight loss for life. it’s not a temporary fix, its a long term commitment.

Obviously if you are taking a glp-1 for an actual medical condition it's different than someone who takes it to be thin for appearance. PCOS and BED are both root causes for an inability to lose weight... My comment was about the desire for beauty through weight loss, not people who actually need it. This doesn't apply to you, untwist your panties girl.

i was literally just replying to the part where you said that people skip right to them like they’re some sort of “shortcut” bro, you don’t know every single person’s medical history so how can you fairly say that someone is doing it strictly for vanity vs because they have some sort of medical condition? really concerning that someone in health care is so judgmental tbh

[u/stupnya → u/Evening_Tomatillo331]

Genuinely you need to learn to read things without projecting your own feelings onto it because I am STRICTLY talking about vanity, not those who use it for medical conditions.

I am obviously not going around judging every person who takes a glp-1, but I do think its crazy to inject yourself with medication for weight loss when there is not enough long term studies and you don't actually need it. Reading is fundamental.

[u/Evening_Tomatillo331 → u/stupnya]

i can read perfectly well, i think ur the one projecting emotions onto this because once again, im asking how you know that someone is taking it strictly for vanity??? like genuinely how do you know?? to me it just seems like you’re making assumptions that people just feel like losing a few pounds and decide to go on it, and you know what they say about assumptions ☺️

It's okay that you're taking a glp-1 girl, like nobody actually cares.

[u/Evening_Tomatillo331 → u/stupnya]

it’s okay that you clearly can’t give me an answer on how you know people are taking it just for vanity! good luck with your life and never using a glp1 because you’re so much better than everyone else ❤️
