This is unfortunate. WW is hard because they help you lose in a healthy manner. Drugs will kill ya faster than fat, but at least ya look better faster.
We all wish there was a safe, easy button for life's challenges. At best, pick one.
I get asked frequently what my secret is to be in such a good shape. I tell them that i don't drink or smoke, i work out, i eat healthy. They never want to hear any of that shit, what they wan to hear is that i have some magic pill that i take once a day and boom, i'm in shape.
Where do you think the best place to start is? I've never been that fat, but I have been out of shape (I'm now one of the very athletic people). For me it was finding active things that I like doing and becoming a member of outdoor communities. But if you're so out of shape it's not fun to do active things, what would keep them going until they get to the fun part?
(Tzeench is right btw)
When I was in college I had school health insurance so I was on some meds that helped my mental health but made me really fat. When i graduated I lost my health insurance, went off my meds, and lost 80lbs in less than a year. People asked me all the time "whats your secret" and they really didn't like when the answer was "I'm off my meds and want to die, but at least I'm cute now". At school I was on a meal plan and ate three healthy meals a day and used the school gym 4-6 days a week. I was fat but fit. After graduating I didn't go to a gym again for about 7 years and still now don't really eat very healthy or regularly. I'm less heavy than I was in school but I'm not strong or muscle-y like I was when I was fat.
The worst part is, imo, I have health insurance again, but I'd rather be depressed than go back to being fat, because society is so cruel to fat people. Especially on the internet where people are like "it really IS just as simple as keeping a caloric deficit". That's just not true.
Anyway, it made sense in my head to respond to you when I started this, but now I think I've gotten lost in the weeds a little. I'm not trying to argue with you about anything, I'm just sharing my experience.
Hope everyone can find one thing they love about their bodies today xx
Thank you for posting your experience.
This is just plain false. The health benefits of not being overweight far outweigh any potential negative effects of the drug itself. GLP-1 receptor agonists have been used to treat type 2 diabetes for decades - we're quite familiar with their risks.
alot of people want a quick fix when it comes to weight loss, dr now and 1000sisters, almost every just want a immediate solution while refusing to change thier eating habits. ive heard they also eat around thier weight loss surgery sometimes too. i was following a female fitness instructor on yt one time.
the extreme people in denial are the people believe fat is being good.
I went to my sister the other day bus she wasn't home. An older neighbour of hers wanted to visit her too, and i tol her that she wasn't home. I don't really like ger that much so we didn't talk too long. At the end of our smalltalk she said: i just wanted to tell you something, you should eat more, being that thing can't be healthy. I didn't even know what to say. I'm 1.85m and weight 80kg. And i have to take health advice from an obese old lady? All her sons are obese too, but they think it's just being "healthy" yeah no, sorrt, i don't envy people who get out of breath when they walk up a set of stairs.
Doesn’t ww sell frozen food? That food isn’t healthy.
Frozen processed food isn't inherently unhealthy. Eating the right amount of calories from nutritious processed food is still probably a net positive over eating too much of any kind of food.
I'm pretty sure it's not, but I'll eat that before rushing gastroparesis.
Their food has high sodium. At least it did 15 years ago.
Isn't high sodium only a problem if your blood pressure is too high? I have asked this a number of times and the only answers I get back about high sodium dangers are related to high blood pressure. Keep in mind, I'm not belittling the dangers of high blood pressure. Those are known and absolutely dangerous to your health.
However, if whatever sodium you intake doesn't give you high blood pressure, where is the risk in a high(er) sodium diet?
It all increases your risk of cancer.
It's associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer yes
