Irritated by my sister in law since she started Wegovy?

Within 3 months she will be back to her previous heavy weight and you will still be the same slim beautiful person you always were.

When she starts can you say something supportive about how well she's doing but then say how boring it is to focus so much on food? So praise and then redirect. It's not healthy to be obsessed with what other people are eating.

But I don’t care if someone judges me. I literally don’t give a fuck. I tell people I’m on the jabs if they ask and I don’t care what they think.

I also have zero issue in telling people I’m uninterested in their opinions if they offer one.

OP’s motivations are irrelevant. Her SIL is being a prick and it’s reasonable to want her to stop.

Bite your tongue for now. She’s got a new obsession and is seeing results. She probably feels like she’s won the lottery.
As she gets used to hopefully she will become less of a twat.

Eat what you want to eat. Don’t feel pressured or judged by anyone.

Tell her she's 'starting to sound like a walking advertisment for Wegovy and frankly it's boring the tits off everyone. If we wanted to take it we already would have.

Just eat as little as your medicine inclines you to and be quiet about what others are eating. If you don't I'm afraid we won't want to share meals with you anymore.'

I have a friend who has been on WLIs for a year now, he's lost 7 stone...but he's still eating all the crap he was beforehand, and in the same enormous portions.

He'll ring me up and say that he's just eaten 2 boxes of Magnums and 24 Yorkie bars (and he's a type 2 diabetic) in less than 24 hours, and wonders why he's got a very upset stomach and feels nauseous...and he's on the highest dose of WLI that you can take!

I've been on WLIs for 4 months and have lost 3 stone. I honestly don't understand how he's managing to eat like he does, I've lost complete interest in sugar, fat etc since starting. The one time I did overdo it I was violently ill!

👍

I was the same on Mounjaro. Wegovy is a completely different kettle of fish for me. I need way more willpower to stay off the sweet stuff than I did with Mounjaro.

Why don’t you tell her sweetly that the latest research shows that those who come off the jabs will have gained all of the weight back within 18months? Roastie, anyone? 🤣

Well she isn't disciplined is she? Which is why she's on the jab in the first place. What a muppet.

Is there any chance to avoid eating with her for a while? I want to enjoy my food, not be made to feel bad about it. If you want to see the family you can get there after lunch to spend time with them.

Just tell her to mind her own (empty) plate.

What did I just read? Nonone looks like that or shits themselves on it. What an odd thing to write.

Would be a pretty miserable life if you couldn't enjoy roast potatoes occasionally

I have a relative a tiny bit like this (no WLI involved), I very firmly told them "enough with the food shaming" a couple of times. Luckily that was enough but I wouldn't hesitate to be much blunter and direct in your case.

"I'm very pleased wegovy has been so transformative for you, genuinely, but you need to make that the absolute last time you police my eating or make any comment on my food choices."

And if she pushes back, "it's totally unacceptable and if you don't stop then we are going to fall out. I am respectful of your autonomy, the least you can do is be respectful of mine. What I eat and how I eat, and why, is none of your business"

If there are children around then I would also point out I do not want them hearing such comments or conversation because you don't want them growing up in the toxic diet culture we all grew up in.

Read your posts and tell me again how happy you are for this person.

Doesn't matter if she did have a weight problem leave other people's plates alone. It's rude and creates far more issues when meal times feel like your body is going to be torn apart.

OP I suggest you get a book called Say The Thing it's about inserting boundaries. Or go down the petty route and say wegovy makes you look like your skin is slipping off your bones and ages you terribly and ask if she's worried about the amount of people who shit themselves on it? That will probably shut down the convo sharpish

I'd put a hand on her shoulder and say calmly "listen, I am so glad that this is working for you. I really, really don't care at all about weight, and diet, and all that jazz, so let's talk about something else." On repeat every time she mentions it. Every time.

I mean this with kindness... But chemically suppressing your appetite is not willpower. Not even remotely..🤣 I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to say that to her mind!!

OP would judge you for your lack of self control needing WLI to begin with.
I see through her false annoyance and concern.

How bloomin irritating, dull and rude. If only she'd done all this before, she'd not need the jabs...

...and I think you'll have the 'last laugh' later on and can comment on second helpings of spuds... Going by the news this week, those who stop the jabs put on the weight 8 times faster than normal people who stop dieting.

Perhaps point out if she hadn't eaten so much in the first place, followed her current new diet with some willpower then she wouldn't need to pay £££s for WLJ. (From someone who has lost 5st without WLJ)

You can have a chuckle when the weight goes back on!
