I've done exactly that with diet and exercise 3 different times in the last 25 years. Long term, that didn't end well for me as each time I gained back more than my previous loss. If you believe it's all totally about willpower and determination, you are totally wrong and have never been there. As I both lost and gained weight, I was obsessed with food. What were we having for dinner? We were going out and what would I order? Would their be dessert? Everything you can imagine. I actually remember when I was much younger, skinny, and didn't have those constant thoughts. They came with stress and a big change in my lifestyle. With semaglutide, those obsessions have pretty much disappeared and I feel like I used to about food. It's a sudden and amazing freedom to not need this massive willpower to stop when you are full and there is food left on your plate or not needing that massive willpower to keep from getting a 2nd piece of cake that you know you don't need and will be sorry you ate. If you haven't felt like that, like that cake is literally calling you, then you don't understand the need for this drug.
This reads like one big ad for NOT taking these drugs. Big Pharma has hooked another one. Congrats.

Because you would rather somebody stay fat than find a way to better their health. That makes no sense at all.
Remember that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. So I'm doing something different this time and hoping for different results. I'm very good at losing weight. I can diet and exercise and lose just fine. Once I get where I want to be, I just cannot seem to stay there. The difference this time is that I can stay on semaglutide while I maintain my weight until I can learn maintenance and figure out how to stay in the right place. My plan is to stay on about 6 months after hitting goal and then wean off. Because every other time, I've never been able to maintain more than 1 month or so.
No matter what happens, it's not worse than staying fat, which seems to be what you'd recommend because it's obvious to me that your way does not work for me or many others.
So according to ronricks, your choice is either his way (not successful for many) or stay fat. That sounds really stupid when you can try something different.
