As the title, he’s not overweight though could do with losing a stone or so. He’s over 6’ so carries weight well iyswim and his BMI is currently 25. He has always fluctuated between 22-25 BMI depending on his lifestyle at the time and depending on how busy his (stressful) job is. Essentially if he doesn’t have time to run or eat healthily he will gain a bit and feel rubbish. At other time work will be quieter and he’ll get into running for 6 months and get trim again. He’s run half marathons when he’s at his peak.
I don’t know much about Ozempic but he told me he’s ordered a months worth as he feels rubbish and his clothes are tight, plus his work is a nightmare at the moment so he feels he needs the kickstart.
AIBU to feel uncomfortable or is it fine / normal these days? My worries are:
- its not healthy living using drugs to control apetite
- as soon as you stop you go back to wherever you were
- the alternative is you spend your life on drugs
- Surely they must be bad for you? Bad for the liver?
- he has weak willpower with eating at times and I’d rather he got on top of it through willpower alone (as he’s done successfully in the past) as I think he feels stronger and better in himself that way
- if the drugs reduce appetite how do you ensure you’re getting enough nutrition
- are the drugs dangerous?
he’s saying it’s only a temporary step to kickstart him but I feel weird about it. Am I unreasonable / controlling?
