Stop. Ozempic is usually an injected medication.
And it actually assists in stopping bad eating (and other addictive behaviors).
And weight problems don’t miraculously go away with healthy meals. There are many hormonal conditions that cause weight gain and prevent weight loss. PCOS, hypothyroidism, etc.
Respectfully, people like you are ignorant and self righteous, constantly imputing obesity to character defects so you can feel superior.
It’s a form of virtue signaling and you just had to put it out there.
BS. You don’t know my history.
And I never claimed what you’re falsely accusing me of.
Sounds like you’re projecting.
“Respectfully, people like you are ...”
What came after that was anything but respectful
“And weight problems don’t miraculously go away with healthy meals.”
As a matter of fact they do! LOL.
“There are many hormonal conditions that cause weight gain and prevent weight loss. PCOS, hypothyroidism, etc.”
If that’s what was under discussion you might have a point. There are indeed metabolic disorders that affect pre-adolescents. The huge majority of Americans that are overweight, obese, or morbidly obese do not suffer from bizarre glandular issues or rate metabolic disorders. They are fat because they eat too much food.
It does nobody any good to make excuses or pretend that somehow eating 3000 or 4000 calories a day and sleeping it off is something that can’t be addressed by putting the fork down. This is yet another area where the “experts” aren’t helping too much. There is a lot of BS out there these days, IF works for a lot of people because they don’t have to subscribe to someone trying to sell them something, etc.
I don't think metmom said anything about character defects, just that sensible eating tends to resolve being overweight.

Agreed. Then you find a good endocrinologist and find the right medications, hormones, whatever to balance yourself.
It’s a form of virtue signaling and you just had to put it out there.
Maybe. But it's also an expression of frustration that close to half the people you see around you are overweight, some morbidly so, and these aren't the salad eaters and exercisers. You know as well as I that most obese people are there because they will not control their eating. And yes they can ... if someone stood there with a gun and said don't eat that donut you wouldn't eat it. A choice was made.
Most (I know, not all) people that are fat today are so because they eat too much, because they are sedentary, because they stare at screens for hours, that everything today is geared towards less physical activities (drive thrus, Doordash, etc.), that food is EVERYWHERE and every third business is a restaurant. I get it.
But in the end it's on us, and I say that as a formerly fat person. I'm not "superior" but I am someone who wanted to look better and feel better so I got serious and dropped the weight.
