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

[Holmints]

I’m seeing this so much on social media. People screaming from the rooftops how they love their bodies. Hate comments come and they combat them with body positivity, I admired them so much.

Lately though, the very people who were oh-so-body-positive are popping back up five stone lighter. Some comment on it and some don’t, as if they’re waiting for people to ask. Hang on a minute, I thought you loved your big body? Did you love being fat or not?

Its not a wild conspiracy theory in any shape or form.

Don't be naive.

I know several people who used to work in pharmaceutical industries.

They told me that everything is twisted in healthcare.

At the moment, a lot of healthcare is set up to hurt us, not help us.

They told me that so many lies are told to the public about health to get them to think a certain way, and to get them to buy things.

They don't. Some loud obnoxious fatfluencers are not "everyone". Most overweight people are happy to say they hate being fat or at least dislike it and admit it is unhealthy, because it is.

But probably the average fat person won't say such things to you, a total stranger.

Don’t you think pharmaceutical companies would benefit more from people being fat?!

How are pharmaceutical companies going to benefit from a slim, healthy populace?

Erm, this response is the literal definition of a conspiracy theory.

By constantly making huge money from selling diet products

Don’t you think they make a vast amount more money selling the drugs used to treat obesity related illnesses?!

I disagree with the word "theory" as I know people who have worked in the pharmaceutical industry and they have told me it as fact

One woman i know told me that she had to leave the industry as she couldnt cope with the level of lying and corruption

Yes.

Lots of people present things as fact. Doesn't make them so.

Also - in the case of WLI - what is the conspiracy? I've started taking them and they have rapidly altered the way my body processes and reacts to food...as Big Pharma told me it would...

Right. So why do they apparently want everyone skinny and constantly dieting if more revenue is made from treating the obese?

There’s not a lot of critical thinking going on here - which is usually the case with conspiracy theorists!

I was over weight and I literally loathed myself, depressed, wore the same clothes in summer that I did in winter. Started the jabs and I’m so much more happier. I honestly never understood overweight people saying theh loved their body and size I was absolutely miserable. Maybe I’m missing something

Its your post that doesnt make sense.

I already said that they want people constantly dieting - to buy all the diet products.

I feel like every woman i know is using something to try and diet

And a lot of the diet things do not work. The woman buys more and more, keeping her in a perpetual cycle of dieting.

Pharmaceutical companies will benefit because they are now in control of how fat or thin people are.
The food industry produces products which are highly addictive, irresistible to most humans. The pharmaceutical industry has a product which enables you to resist the lure of the addictive food. You ou can be slim, if you have the money to pay for this product.

But people being fat makes them more money than selling diet products! So why would they want people skinny as you claimed in your first post?

It’s very much you that isn’t making sense!

It amuses me to spot the never-had-a-problem-myself amongst these posts, with their little bit of hectoring! And those that have been a bit too comfortable and may be jabbing to get thin again.
I am around 19 stone. I’ve lost quite an amount of weight this year by focussing on
my self worth, something I’ve found difficult before in my 67 years. That’s the real problem. I’ve always eaten well, cooking most from scratch, but comforted that unease deep inside by eating too much of it.
Very rarely do you get fat by being totally happy. Mine started 29 years ago with PND, on reflection worsened by living remotely with a very busy DH and two littles.
However, I’m still married, have two children making their own way and happy in their own relationships - time to deal with ME, luckily without many extant health issues thankfully! You can only start from where you are and move forward.

Exactly!

The big companies all help each other to profit.

Some of the big food companies produce addictive "food" (it has barely any nutrients) that keep humans addicted to it and it keeps them over eating.

Humans get fat

The pharmaceutical companies then make loads of money from sellig diet products .

Pharma companies are also now making huge money from selling weight loss injections

Profit is their aim. Not health.

I know a fat positive influencer (who used to be slim).
She often posts about her various health issues…
And how doctors are fat-phobic, they’re the problem.
She makes delicious food, but her kids are fat now too.

You are not reading what i am writing

I didnt say that they want people to be skinny

I said that they keep telling everyone that they must be thin.

Fat people then buy diet products which DON'T WORK,

which keeps these people in a continuous cycle of dieting and thsn buying more diet products

Except WLI do work?

They work whilst you are taking them.
You can be slim as long as you keep paying money to the pharmaceutical companies for the products which enable you to stay slim.

Well yes, any drug only works while you're taking it doesn't it.

That's not to say that in the case of obesity, when you stop taking them you'll wake up 10 stone heavier the next day.

No. If you’ve made changes to your diet and lifestyle, it’s perfectly possible to maintain your new weight.

I can't know the ins and outs of every drug as I'm not a scientist.

But if weight loss injections DO work for someone, it keeps people in a cycle of paying money every month for a diet drug for the rest of their life. As the minute that they stop, they put the weight back on.

If Weight loss injections DONT work for someone, (many people have reported having too many side effects on mounjaro to stay on it) that person then feels a failure and goes and buys a different dieting product

Either way, the pharmaceutical companies make a big profit

As the minute they stop, they put the weight back on.

This is false.

At 11 stone and 5'7" you aren't 'slightly overweight' though, you have a BMI of 24, within the healthy range. Which is a useful reminder that although weight is a factor in a lot of health conditions, especially type 2 diabetes, it's rarely as straightforward as fat means unhealthy and thin mean healthy.
