Why does everyone say they love being fat until they get their hands on skinny jabs?

No one in real life says they love being fat. Every woman I know over a size 12 wants to lose weight and every woman over a size 16 is thoroughly depressed about their weight.

I’ve posted a systematic review of anybody is actually interested in the long term effects and potential side effects of these drugs.

Of course it may not be of interest to those who mainly wish to claim some false sense of moral superiority.

Congratulations. I am glad that worked for you. If it hadn’t, maybe your health would have deteriorated to the point where you wanted to give WLI a try.

When I quit smoking I had help from nicotine gum. I believe there’s a wider range of medication available to people now which is great. Are people who quit smoking without that kind of help superior to those who do have the support?

My WLI have cost the NHS absolutely nothing. I spend so much less on food now, I calculate they have cost me £13-18 a week. I have probably saved the NHS a huge sum of money in terms of dealing with my future poor health if I hadn’t taken Mounjaro.

Do you refuse all medicines in case of issue in 30 years?

Cool, irrelevant but cool. Most people don't cost the NHS anything when taking WLI, as the criteria to get them for weight loss on the NHS is incredibly tough.

I take them and I can assure you I'm quite the opposite. I don't talk about it unless I'm asked. I'm 3.5 stone lighter since mid-February and I don't give a flying fanny fuck how I achieved it.

Very few people will get them on the NHS. I'm prepared to stay on them for life if I need to. I wouldn't come off of any other medication if I still needed it, this is the same to me.

My “fat reducing jabs” (GLP-1 agonists, actually) haven’t cost the NHS anything either! :)

Do you really think that every fat person doesn’t know about diet and exercise? It doesn’t work for a lot of people, hence the problem! If it worked then obesity wouldn’t be a problem, would it. It’s a physical, medical issue for lots of people hence the need for medication!

I’m on Mounjaro and that… has cost the NHS zilch!!!

You sound very bitter.
Most fat people do not love being fat and do not claim to . Your post is utter hyperbole.

A few people spouting on the Internet do not represent the overwhelming majority of silently desparing people battling their weight.

am on "skinny jabs" as you so elegantly put it, never enjoyed being fat.

Fat reducing jabs never entered my head when I was faced with having to lose weight to fend off impending health problems. Just like when I stopped smoking I knew the only person to do this for me……was ME.
Eating less and moving more, healthy choices (no they don’t have to be expensive foods) no UPF, no refined sugar……this was my journey and it works! And has cost the NHS zilch!!!

I would absolutely pay for them for life- I’ve saved money since I started them, and the peace from the constant thinking about food, worrying about food and hating my body is priceless.
I 100% believe in a decade some form of GLP-1 medication will be readily available over the counter in Boots and Holland and Barrett.
It would be also interesting to see the cost of NHS provided GLP-1 vs the cost of managing obesity/ diabetes related health complaints in about a decade.

You'd save some time if you just wrote 'I hate fat people'. People would still know you're an ill informed judgey fucker but more quickly.
Well done for knowing exactly how every obese person became obese though. I'm fascinated to hear that in my case it was nothing to do with how my body changed after my gall bladder was removed and entirely because I'm a lazy bint.

Just because people embrace the fact they are fat doesn't mean they cant decide to do something about it.l and still feel happy with their new body shape.

Why are you so against it? What actual impact does it have on your life?

Again, did they claim they were just as healthy as all skinny people? I’ve never seen anyone claim that.

I have seen fat person who exercise regularly and eat a majority healthy base diet say they aren’t necessarily less healthy than a skinny, sedentary person with a poor diet would be.

You can’t outrun your fork, so many people are obese because they have a generally healthy diet but eat too much junk on top. Those people are getting their nutritional needs (protein, carbs, vitamins etc) met more than someone thin whose diet is mostly nutritionally useless junk (and I know plenty of those people!).

I'm a fat person, I've been fat since I was about 12 and I hate my body, I'm losing weight with help from Mounjaro but I have a long way to go still. I don't know any fat people in real life that live their bodies, sure I've come across them on Instagram and TikTok but they usually have an agenda and I don't believe them.

I’m size TUI not size French

I’ve lost almost 6 stone with the WLI

I looked (and felt) sexy and attractive before … I look (and feel) sexy and attractive now.

Never had a shortage of attention. I’ve been married for 20 years to a man that loves me, who has never ever mentioned my weight.

i’m loosing weight due to a family history of Heart Attack and Stroke.

I just like myself at all weights

Why would you say 'no way am I putting that stuff in me' when you don't have the condition it's used to treat?!

Well done! Your joy at your achievement shines through!

Do you get them on the NHS? Will they pay maintenance doses for life, if not, are you prepared to fund them?

I’m on them. I’ve lost nearly 8 stone. I’m running again, I’ve completely overhauled my diet and made the effort to learn about proper nutrition. I’ve very very thoroughly Researched the injections and spent a long time reading the research. I am preparing to taper down but I know there is a chance I will be on this for life. Which is fine by me because a year ago, at 22 stone, I don’t know who much life I had left. MJ has saved me.

That's not what this poster was saying. She was replying to someone saying that WLI work because they make the user starve themselves, i.e. barely eat. This poster was saying that that is not true and people on WLIs on the whole are not starving themselves.

I think the ‘nonsense’ this poster was referring to was the claim that people who are on WLI are basically anorexic (and getting away with it) because they are starving themselves. Nobody should be starving themselves on WLI.
