Like okay my mom used to ask my pediatrician for weightloss surgery and drugs for me, then complain to me I didn’t eat enough. She fed me like 2000 plus calories a day I’m 4 11. There is no reason i should be eating that much

Then I lose weight at a university out of state and away from home and magically I’m starving myself

I mean sure but then the drug curbs the hunger, u personally don’t. Then u have to deal with sometimes permanently being on the drug maybe at a maintenance level but nonetheless permanently. Plus the drug can sometimes take away muscle mass instead of fat which is not good for many reasons, but personally I want muscles, I wanna be jacked. My bfs sister went on a drug and payed so much money and now she’s eating whatever and has no discipline and gaining the weight back

Meanwhile she told me to go on it and my family has a history of cancers, like my dads sister had thyroid cancer and that’s a side effect of like every weightloss drug out there. Furthermore this just shows how it doesn’t change habits it’s just a quick for now fix

if you don’t eat enough protein and you’re also eating less yeah you’re going to lose muscle mass. that’s not unique to any drug. idk maybe i just don’t really place much importance on how exactly someone loses weight bc either way if you want to do it safely and actually keep the weight off it takes effort and a change in habits/behaviors. tbh it kinda feels like the argument between using an epidural bs a natural birth. one arguably makes it ‘easier’ but the result is still the same

the only info i could find about thyroid cancer was that it was a side effect found in rats? what medication cause that?

The epidural argument is so different it doesn’t compare to this. Like I said I don’t judge anyone who uses drugs but I’m just saying everyone who uses it or has used it recommended I use it when nothing was working. I just needed to eat in a deficit and now after doing it for a long time and away from my family who would force feed me, I feel like I can do that without a drug forced upon on. I feel like the work I do on my own gives me so much gratification. But if someone else needs drugs

It’s all good as well. They just shouldn’t have told me to take them

I have different opinions which I’m allowed to have. I feel like everyone in my life who has taken drugs has told me to

yeah fair enough, if you don’t want to take it you don’t have to :) i just don’t think it really matters how someone loses weight as long as they’re being safe about it

Literally every weightloss drug interacts with ur thyroid. There is a disease hypothyroidism, which causes you to be unable to lose weight, because it affects your metabolism. So if your thyroid controls your metabolism the drugs are going to interact with it in some way shape or form

yeah i have hypothyroidism, i know. i just couldn’t find anything that linked thyroid cancer to being caused by weight loss drugs
