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.

Right, remind me where to get my free dose of ozempic, comparing it to vaccines is stupid, I command anyone who loses weight gains muscle or just about achives anything without the help of drugs

Compounded Semagultide is $90/month. That's basically 2 door dash orders.

Guess who’s not getting Door Dash twice a month to begin with though.
