it’s easy to make sense of and i’m sure you’ve seen it: the fitness guru encouraging avoidance of GLP-1s or the lifestyle coach warning people of unproven side effects and risks. schemers selling diet fads and trend chasers who stand to lose a lot of money. all of that makes sense. it’s pathetic but understandable.
what doesn’t make sense is the anger from random people who view using a GLP-1 as some form of cheating because it takes away obesity as a permanent struggle of willpower. these folks are mad that fat people aren’t the useless and lazy pieces of shit they have been made to feel like. now they have to think of us as legitimately ill and that is earth shattering to them.
who to hate now? who to feel superior to now? no, no.. something has to be wrong with these drugs!
…but there isn’t lol. there are no long term health risks that are worse than morbid obesity. these naysayers don’t know the long history of research and testing GLP-1s have went through. diabetics have been on similar classes for decades.
it’s so absurd to hate somebody else for their size and now we have definitive confirmation obesity is a disease and can be treated with medication. these people are truly assholes, just remember that!
don’t let them shame you or make you fear this journey. it might make you question everything but trust the science and your doctor, not some random dickhead.
~~The backlash against GLP-1s by~~ the average person is weird
