I cannot figure out where I come down on Ozempic (not that my opinion matters to anyone else and not like anyone asked me).
On one hand I couple probably benefit from it. I'm about 80-100lbs over where I'd like to be but I recently lost 50lb (so I was 130-150lbs away before) without any drugs (and I have lost weight in the past successfully and kept it off until I got lazy). I think it comes from a combo of "If I don't need to rely on something I'd rather not" and "It feels like cheating". Digging into both those ideas comes up rather... empty. Neither are great reasons and so I keep mulling over "should I try it?".
The only thing I'm fairly certain on is this: These are not meant to be "forever drugs" but many people will/do treat them as such. My understanding (which could be flawed) is this is a "3-12mo"-type thing. I really don't know how many people are using Ozempic and friends as "This is going to help me get on track" and "Look at this magical drug that makes me lose weight", I fear it's largely the second group.
