re: Why do so many people feel ashamed/lie about taking GLP-1's?

I take it and lost 50 pounds, but don't talk about it. I'm certainly not ashamed of it, but think it's not anybody's fricking business. I'm not the habit of handing out a list of my medical conditions and prescriptions I'm on, so would should this medication be any different? For people that ask how I lost the weight, I always say "eat less, move more". Both of which are true - since getting on the drug, I definitely eat less and I stared exercising daily at the same time, so both those statements are 100% accurate. Is it a lie that I omitted the fact that I'm on GLP-1? I think not, but again, why the frick is it anybody's business?
They already think you are taking the shot since you lost a large amount of weight. I feel bad for the guy that actually loses a bunch of weight the old fashioned way and no one believes them.

Choice is just acting out one’s influences.
‘You can want what you will, but you can’t will what you want.’
Your choices, whether it’s eating, addiction, or anything come from influences you don’t control, like cravings, stress, culture, time period and location of existence. If we could just choose anything, nobody would struggle with obesity or addiction; we’d never fail, have you never failed,we’d all be perfect, make our bed, stop biting our nails all be bodybuilders, but even more extreme, be able to run a marathon on a whim, master quantum physics, not eat for weeks, resist pain, it would be chaos, people just doing whatever they want. People would be acting out of character, unpredictable, because you could change what you want, you could also choose to be happy in any situation, resist any influence, cultural or genetic

You shouldn't, because he will let you know, as he should.
I lost 50lbs a few years back and loved telling people about the hard work it took when they asked.
"You look great, how did you do it?"
"Ran 2 miles a day and really watched what I ate."
shite fricking rocks when hard work pays off.

Obesity has been a choice for at least 99% of people since the beginning of human existence
Your logic doesn’t logic, unless I’m missing something.

Hormone therapy isn’t a supplement. Creatine and zinc are supplements

People supplement with peptides all of the time. What are you talking about? Why is a glp-1 peptide so morally different from a creatine supplement in your view?

Some of those you don’t control, some you indirectly control and some you absolutely control. One, in particular, is your mindset. To just dismiss all of the above as out of one’s control wreaks of victim mindset. Low locus of control.
Give yourself much more credit!

Bypassing effort and discipline is root issue IMO. Supplements (eg, Creatine) don’t bypass effort and discipline. GLP-1’s do. Short cuts deserve some shame per OP’s question.

I'm considering but first trying to see how much I can lose in the next 14 months with exercise, intermittent fasting, and cutting calories. While I wouldn't feel any shame or need to hide it, I mentally need to at least try what I can on own before adding a GLP1 as an expensive tool.

And if you did the same thing today, no one would believe you.

It is dumb! That’s what you believe if you believe in Liberian free will. It’s not some cooky idea, it’s what philosophers have been developing for 2000 years. You could refute it, instead of saying das StUpid!

And? Using it in perpetuity is one thing. Using it to jump start healthier living is another.
You said in another you weren't born yet when someone referenced 2002; you're a young man. 10 feet tall and bullet proof. Different story for an overweight 50-something. If something like this kickstarts them into better health, I'm all for it.

I don’t understand why anyone would care how someone loses weight. They are making themselves a whole lot healthier and saving years off their life. Anyone who has a problem with that needs to look in the mirror at their own problems.
