Your comment is typical of those I see on these new weight loss drugs. Not everyone can control their health issues through lifestyle changes alone. I successfully controlled hypertension with an hour a day of running but that's just not sustainable and I barely controlled it anyway. As I reached 50, my genetics and age caught up with me. My father and all my siblings take drugs for hypertension and now I do too. Similarly, my wife, who I've known since we were teenagers, fought her weight as long as we've been together. No amount of weight watchers, calorie counting, eating well and exercise allowed her to maintain a healthy weight. It's also exhausting being hungry all the time and fighting against your increasing weight. About two years ago she started Wagovy for legitimate health reasons. It's changed her life. She still exercises, eats well, and counts calories. What the Wagovy has enabled is for it not to be a constant battle with herself. She's not hungry all the time now maintaining a healthy weight. Unless you've really fought these battles, you don't know what other people are going through.
