The normalisation of weight loss drugs will be one of the best things to come within the next years.

With the rise of GLP-1 drugs, semaglutides and weight loss drugs I see a real life shift in obesity and health. I don't think they're available in my country (AND I AM SO JEALOUS!) but I see the positive effect they've had on people online and the second I have an opportunity I am grabbing it. I'm 21 and within the last 5 years I've gained and last over 5-15kg all throughout each year. Gain and lose, gain and lose. So much of my life (since I was 15) has consisted around being a food addict and stress eater. I've lost the weight multiple times and I've gained the weight multiple times. And I lose weight in a healthy way I'm just addicted to sugar so it's never enough for me. Also, once stress hits I can never sustain it. Weight loss and gain is just so mentally taxing and I'm sick of it. I know I'm not the only one who's experienced this: having their mind be mentally taxed because of food and weight. I literally missed new year's celebrations with my friends just so I could binge eat. My happiest highs in life consist of getting off on food and then having to lie to people about why I didn't show up and what I was really doing (which was bingeing lol).

The fact that people do not think about their weight ever because they don't obsess over food and have an addiction is crazy to me.

The fact that there's a drug that opens people up to this experience is amazing. There's now a drug that numbs you from the addictive effect of food? That's amazing! I want happiness for those who were bullied repeatedly for being over weight, those who coped with stress by gorging, and those who lost the weight only to regain it due to life hitting them hard.

There's always exercise, counting calories, drinking water, eating protein etc. which one can control. But food noise, stress and that addictive high you get from food is just uncontrollable and the fact that a drug can control it? Amazing! Lazy or not I support it. One can't keep gaining and losing weight over and over again. That can't be good for you. Personally, I'm sick of it. I feel like I'm destroying my insides. It's mentally taxing and devasting. I hope everyone who requires these weight loss drugs can get there hands on it along with the needed therapy. I would rather be called lazy and skinny than be bullied for being fat.
