Is everyone hating on GLP-1 meds?

It seems like the naturally thin are the most vocal critics of weight loss drugs. They used to have a genetic advantage, but now that advantage is shrinking. It's like they don't want to share the 'slim' spotlight.
 
These meds are a lifeline for those failed by the diet industry. People are threatened by this 'revolution'. Time to drop the hate!
 
Reading this thread made me realize I haven't been online shopping as much, and I've stopped biting my nails!

*Edit: I don't drink or smoke anyway.*
 
I've definitely stopped biting my nails, and my anxiety is almost nonexistent. If this is what 'normal' feels like, I'm in for the long haul. Been on it for almost half a year now.
 
I went from downing half a bottle of vodka on weekends to barely finishing a glass of wine. How is that a bad thing????
 
Just finished my first month at the lowest dose... my cravings for alcohol, coffee, and cigars vanished instantly... The weird thing is, my blood sugar and appetite are still out of control!!! Still eating everything in sight... hoping it kicks in at the next dose in a few days!!! Also, the dreams are insane!!!!!!!!

Some argue it's 'the easy way out,' but managing a chronic condition isn't easy, no matter what tools you use. It's not magic; it facilitates the daily effort.
 
My friend judged me when I said I was starting. He was like, 'Did your doctor recommend it? I've heard about all the side effects' in such a judgy tone.

I didn't even ask for it; my doctor suggested it because weight loss would help with my insulin resistance and knee problems. I felt like he thought I was just taking it without professional guidance.
 
My husband isn't speaking to me because I started. I've had gestational diabetes twice, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure. Diabetes and heart issues are in my family history. I told him my doctor approved, and he called me lazy. He says I'm not doing it the 'right' way.

Sounds like jealousy issues, tbh. Plus, it's still work! You can overeat on these meds. Think of the weight you'll lose just by ditching him!
 
Do it for yourself! If he keeps acting up, schedule an hour of 'exercise' every night and see how he likes that. Good luck; you won't regret it!
 
These meds really should come with more education from the start. They're powerful tools but self-medicating blind is asking for trouble. Wise and safe approach.
 
It's wild how different everyone responds to these things. I wanted to try that one peptide based on all the hype but ended up hating it. Zero appetite suppression and actually felt hungrier after. Took another week to shake that feeling too.
 
honestly i've thought the same thing. they have the reach and reputation already. the demand is so massive right now that it seems obvious they could just cut out the middleman
