to think taking weight loss injections/tablets is an easy cop out?

[Itsmyturntobehappy]

I am seriously considering going ahead with this. I am nearly pre diabetic stage and the heaviest i’ve been in my whole.
It started to affect me health wise so i know i really do need to lose weight but can’t help feeling one should be able to do it without medication as then how am i going to be able to maintain it if i need help getting there??

Yes the jabs make it easier but be under no doubt that you have to work with them. I overindulged on holiday by ignoring the ‘full’ signal and ended up with the most horrendous heartburn/indigestion and sulphur burps for two days. If I eat healthy with smaller portions I have no side effects whatsoever so lesson well and truly learned

"Doing it properly" doesn't work and never has. Which is why it's still an issue that's getting worse not better. 95% of people fail with diet and exercise. When the results are so overwhelmingly stacked against success like that it shows it's not a personal moral failing on the part of individual people but a broken system that people are being blamed for.

We finally found something that actually works and there is nothing wrong with deciding to go with a plan that has a chance of success.

We don't force people to still use old bad chemotherapy treatments now that we have better ones because "well some people lived using those so you are just not trying hard enough to stay alive!". No, we accept that that was the best we had at the time and switch to the new better options. This is the same.

I do not think its a cop out in most cases.

Put it this way, I eat massive portions, same as my 6 foot 3 OH. I have a slowed metabolism with meds and getting to 30, but that means I am now a size S / 6/8 top and 8/10 bum cheek. I know its not fair. I had a friend back in uni who was severely obese and she ate a quarter of what I did and did more exercise. She couldn't always buy clothes in shops. She was also STUNNINGLY beautiful. It's medical. Back then I was a 4/6 and felt really guilty for how my body works in comparison. Must say I have stomach issues so my friend used to joke that I was pooing it all away 😂

It's simply just really fucking hard for some and the older you get and dealing with the change can make it impossible. Do what makes you happy, and there is nothing stopping you having the tablets/injections and doing your bit to feel you have earned it - healthy food and exercise.
