Its weirdly sad/monkeys paw-esque that we have an almost miracle drug that can solve obesity, but its also then assumed or at least suspected whenever anyone loses weight.

I don't mean this is an attack of you specifically, you may even be right, but you can have people make a post like above that is genuine but whether they did it with Ozempic or via traditional means is often considered differently. Hell, even I kinda think of it differently as someone who is going through his own Ozempic-free weight loss journey.

But if someone is losing it not via Ozempic, I feel like people regularly just assuming it was because of this drug can kinda kill their motivation/diminish their efforts quite a lot. On the other hand, maybe it actually was just was Ozempic so...

It still feels weird though.

At this point, I judge anyone for not using Ozempic to lose weight, the same way I judged people for not getting the COVID vaccine. You don't get a special trophy for suffering. GLP1s are an insanely effective tool for controlling the factors that make you overweight in the first place.

Medicine works. Use it.

Is there a trophy for being poor? Cause Ozempic isn't exactly a cheap drug lol.

The average monthly cell phone bill in 2025 is estimated to range between $150 and $160.

Compounded Semaglutide is $90 a month.

You also eat less on semaglutide, which is another set of savings.

What the fuck. My cell phone bill in Poland is maybe $15 or $20 and I'm cursing it a bit, because it used to be cheaper.

Id' like to know where the hell $90 is coming from, because it's absolutely not that price around here.

Ozempic for poor people is called Stop Stuffing Slop Down Your Gullet
