to think my colleague should just admit she is on weight loss injections?

Does it matter?

I’ve lost 16 stone over the last 4 years, 3 and a half of that this year. I’ve been “confronted” so many time this year about weight loss injections. No matter what I say, there are a couple of people so angry at me, wanting me to admit it. One person stopped speaking to me over my “lies.” I’m sure there are more people convinced I am on it and lying.

I’m not on them. I just stopped eating anything processed and I don’t eat sugar or fake sugar. I was 27 stone and killing my self and I decided one day that I didn’t want to be that way anymore. It’s a very boring story. That’s it. My only “secret” is that I was diagnosed with celiac, so that cut out a huge swathe of crap (McDonalds and Greggs, my old loves 😭), and the rest was easy.

But when I tell people that, they won’t accept it.

Ooh do I need to admit that the reason my skin has improved in the past few months is due to collagen?

Ask you to take into consideration that I also take magnesium supplements to help me sleep?

Heck, I even used to take tablets so that I could have sex and not get pregnant. Does that need to be run past you too OP?

Well she DID lose weight through dietary changes and walking.

The WLIs do not make your fat evaporate, the diet you follow whilst on them does.

My diet to lose weight on WLIs is different, and more disciplined, than my diet when I am maintaining my weight on WLIs

Imagine eye rolling and smirking like mean teenagers at someone's medical treatments? Vile

Maybe she's worried about criticism
I've been on mounjaro since end of June and have only told my brother and 2 of my cousins

It's literally got nothing to do with anyone else.

I cannot imagine being in the slightest bit concerned about how a colleague was losing weight.

Why would she take her very expensive weekly weight loss injection that needs to be kept refrigerated, to the office and have the syringe exposed in her bag (not in a case or pouch or packet or anything) in plain enough sight so you could see?! Especially if you say she’s being evasive about it?! Why would she need to inject herself with it at work instead of the comfort of her own home?! Absolutely nobody does this.

If the story is true (probably not) maybe it was an insulin shot or something else?

If it is a weight loss injection, just be kind and act like you are none the wiser and be happy she is feeling healthier.

You still have to be disciplined on WLIs
Sometimes that means you have to make sure you're eating enough

As well as tracking macros to minimise pancreatitis risks

As well as being disciplined to use them for creating NEW habits

You wouldn't tell a smoker who used nicotine patches that they didn't use any will power to stop!

Well you're all quite nasty aren't you? Jealous?

What the actual fuck has it got to do with you?

Well not really, WLI is a medication prescribed by a medical professional, used to treat a medical condition (obesity). It’s not a cosmetic treatment.
Everyone is entitled to keep their medical history private.

I know someone doing the same, brags that she’s lost 6 stone through dietary changes and walking and suggests to other’s they should do the same.
We all know she’s on the jabs, she’s in all the groups asking for and giving advice.
We just roll our eyes and laugh at her.

She doesn't owe anyone an explanation.

My guess is that ops made that but up if not the whole story

They do until first use and then they can be stored at room temperature below 30c. Regardless I don’t think it’s any of OP’s business - she can’t be sure what she saw is a weight loss jab. It could be an EpiPen or something for diabetes. I use the same type of injection pen for arthritis medication. I can’t figure out why anyone would carry around something like Mounjaro or wegovy as they are once a week jabs. I think there’s a certain amount of envy to this and OP is just looking for a reason to bring her down. Nasty.

None of your business.

Same as when people have their teeth done/cosmetic surgery/fillers etc and want people to think it's all natural, I guess.

I’ve been on WLI but I haven’t mentioned anything about dieting to anyone unless they asked and then I’ve been vague. It doesn’t make sense that she would carry the pen in her bag. I’ve always left mine at home. But diabetes pens look very similar so unless you saw the specific label on you wouldn’t know the difference.

If she is on WLI she’s being disingenuous but you’re also being unreasonable by expecting her to divulge personal information.

“Oh come on Susan, we’ve all heard of Ozempic”

Although I’m on a injectable pen medication, it’s not for weight loss or diabetes and it doesn’t need refrigeration.

People don’t carry these pens around with them in their handbag.

Admit? Why would anyone have to admit to being on any medication? She isn't committing a crime, she has nothing to confess to. Would you be so triumphant if a colleague had been smiling more and you spotted anti depressants in their bag?
Anyway how convenient than you saw the pen that she will have had no obvious reason to bring to the office. If she does chose to share her private medical information with you, then perhaps she could also explain to you that she will have needed to eat less snacks and use will power alongside WLI to have the success she's had. They don't do the work for you, they're a helpful tool that stops your body fighting weight loss efforts.

I have a colleague who announces every Summer her new diet. So boring that she isn’t eating X . Eats Y and goes swimming every morning. Good for you but stfu about it

Why do you grit your teeth?
