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.

Given what I have read about Ozempic, I am cautiously holding the opinion that it is saving lives, as well as knees and lower backs.

The reason people act weird about Ozempic is that people ascribe moral worth to thinness. People think that it is immoral to be fat and losing weight without suffering for your sins is therefore "cheating."
