Eating food is not only a necessity to live, but your body is extremely loathe to ever let you reduce how much you're eating. High calorie food might be a person's only comfort. Maybe they're working long hours and caring for someone and taking time off to exercise, something objectively not fun is not something they can emotional commit to. Maybe they're disabled. Maybe they have zero control over their schedule or even their food.
Like there are so many reasons you could be overweight and a lot of them are psychological like your parents instilling a deep sense of wrong whenever you leave literally anything on your plate.
I don't think these drugs are great long term solutions, but for people who are doing the best they can with what they can, why mock them? It's like mocking someone fat who managed to walk on a trendmill at the gym. It's a start. They can't lose all the weight with just these drugs. They're not miracles. They just give people the ability to see progress for their efforts.
- tlivolsi 3y agoThe purpose of AA is to solve the underlying problem of alcoholism, with the goal of eventually quitting it entirely. Taking Ozempic doesn't solve the underlying problem of why someone overeats. It just enables the behavior by allowing the individual to indulge without addressing the eating disorder itself.
