Lied to get a jab now friend is angry

[Cantkeepaname]

I don’t understand why my friend is annoyed at me as it doesn’t effect anyone else.. part of me thinks it’s jealousy but she’s not speaking to me because I told her how I managed to lose 1.5stone.
backstory- I lied to get an online prescription by saying I was about 1.5stone heavier than I was then when I needed to send photos I just made my scales say more to match the weight I submitted. Not exactly a difficult lie but it worked and I’ve had 2pens of mounjaro 2.5 and I’m now 8.5stone. I feel great, the size I want to be and no side effects so yes I feel smug that my lie worked and I lost the weight easy.
well my friend who has been trying to lose weight too but not via jabs is furious saying I should be ashamed of myself.
surely it doesn’t effect anyone else? I paid full price so can’t be blamed for stealing from the nhs

A word of advice, if you don’t want people going back on you….. don’t decide people are cheats, on things you know nothing about (by your own admission).

If you want to name call, you’ll get the same back!

Your personal opinion could’ve been “you think they’re better ways” but no people using WLI are cheats and are cheating!

Tour personal view comes from no knowledge of weight loss, just from your ivory tower, hopefully you’ll fall from that soon.

They do understand cause pretty well. The medication addresses the cause of obesity which is why people can lose weight while they are on them. Since you aren't a fattie and have no skin in the game why do you think your opinion means a thing?

Natural? Authentic? Fucking authentic? Wow. And you don’t need to lose weight. I have become more open about my use of WLIs and am surprised at the mix of reactions. Most people are happy for me. The can see how much brighter I am, that I am more interested in how I look generally, that I smile more and am clearly less stressed. And obviously, there is less and less stress on my hips, knees and heart. But a few have been openly sneery, hostile and sniffy. That’s their shit, not mine. I pay for it. It isn’t costing anyone anything. I am less and less likely to need the NHS every day. It doesn’t hurt you if I am thinner and happier. But this idea we are somehow more deserving if we are natural and authentic? That we’re bad in some way? Nah. Utter bollocks.

Too many people can’t cope with fat people getting thinner….how does it affect you?

Your friend really really needs a hobby

But you haven’t answered them, you’ve simply thrown out pointless terms

how can one not “believe” in a prescription medication. It is not a faith based option. I understand certain religions like Jehovah’s Witness don’t believe in certain medications or medical procedures, but usually there is a rationale, however mind blowing anyone else feels is behind it.

cheating and inauthenticity is irrelevant, and meaningless in a medical context.

It reads like you’ve had an emotioral reaction to the fact that a medication to treat obesity is now available, you dislike that fact, it’s purely emotional to you and you can’t or don’t want to explain why you emotionally react like you are.

which leads me to think you’re fat and can’t access them, or struggle to maintain a healthy weight and resent others can use meds.

so we can levy the same back, we don’t beleive your rationale. We don’t beleive you’re being authentic in your explanations. Because as long as we beleive it, that’s all that matters right,

I lost 3 stone a few years ago without the aid of anything but no I do not need to lose weight now as I have maintained the goal I had so nothing to do with not being able to get the jabs nor wanting them. Anyway I shall have to leave ye all to decide what others can and cannot chose to believe in as I believe my boss will murder me if I dont get work done. Ta-ra.

Bye then, off you pop. With your faith based approach to prescription meds,

Faith based haha I am the ultimate atheist and I take meds for something a lot of people dont believe in on here either (adhd).

So you can’t control your ADHD by natural authentic methods and cheat?

That’s what you are saying to others, who happen to
have a different issue to you.

Oh so it’s just meds for fat people you don’t “beleive” in
okdoke.

@Anonanonanonagain ,if you 'believed' in mounjaro you'd maybe realise that relief from adhd symptoms is one of the main reasons that I keep on a small dose, it's life changing for a lot of people with adhd, it helps stop dopamine seeking, and generally gives a feeling of calm, due to the dopamine disruption.

I dont believe long term it is good for people the same as any medications are not good long term but also I think when you stop then putting the weight back on will happen therefore it would be a pointless thing in my own opinion thats all.
I take concerta for my adhd but again long term I dont know whether I want to be on them, maybe they will stop working after a few years who knows.

Um plenty of medications are good long term, and again the who and global heath authorities disagree with you,

but good to see all your unfounded beliefs going strong. Do you maybe also beleive the earth is flat or elvis works down the chippy?

So you do believe in them, but not long term?

Previously you didn’t believe in them, what makes you think people would put the weight back on? I clearly explained why that wouldn’t happen.

Why do you think it’s cheating?

You’re changing your view a lot!

I mean what do the WHO and global health authorities know compared to @Anonanonanonagain !

She’s only taking other medication they’ve researched and recommended, so why would she believe them?

Hahaha I shall leave you all to your pile on now I won't be engaging further in the nit picking.

@Frenchfrychic no no long term medication is good for you (and the term medication is important because medication and long term supplements are not the same)

but often the medication side effects outweigh vastly the side effects of the medication which is why lots of people do it

it is a balancing act and it is why the BMI exists because that is the tipping point at which the potential/actual side effects are worth it because of the risks of being overweight

anyone who thinks taking mounjaro long term is completely risk free is naive - BUT the long term risks are for the vast majority less than the long term risks of being overweight

How many times have you said goodbye, ta ra, im
not coming back, I’m going to do some work?

See you later 👋

You’re mixing your words up. Of course long term medication is good for many people as it is taken to solve a health issue, without it, people would be very ill or dead. Good for you doesn’t mean risk free, but the risk of the meds is tiny in comparison to the risk of the health condition. And obesity, is a relapse disease, and this is a prescription medication to effectively cure that disease in the long term,

If someone was bragging about getting a high score on a computer game but then it turned out they had used a cheat code, they would be called out for cheating. How is losing weight using Ozempic any different?

Clearly avidly reading the thread and can’t resist commenting sigh. Just stay in, all the I’m off is laughable, who cares.

Because losing weight is about health, it isn’t a competition, it isn’t a game. It’s about curing a disease.

@OonaStubbs ,my grandmother played the diabetes game, she didn't have access to the cheat code(insulin), so she died, do you see the difference? Ffs

😆😆😆😆😆😆

Hilarious!

You view being a healthy weight as like getting a high score on a computer game? What a strange way of looking at things.
