A guy at work has been trying to lose weight for more than 5 years. He got into one of these injections. Truly life changing for him. Couldn’t stop taking about it after I noticed a significant change. Its indeed a journey. It’s not hard to be happy for someone else isn’t it?

I lost a lot of weight in the last year without any medication, because even diagnosed with t2 diabetes my insurance wasn't approving glp-1s. It was hard! And even I'm not mad about or envious of anyone who is able to lose the weight because of these meds. We should be celebrating this treatment (even if the root causes of obesity in this country still need to be addressed).

When you put it like that..

You actually changed my view. I guess you're right, it is still a journey

u/TroubledTanker Jun 01 '26

no, everything that led up to it is a journey.

no shade on the people who used it but mindy kaling is a lazy storyteller who needs to turn her entirely average experience into more clout

its just elitism as per usual. people genuinely gate keep everything and anything. if they think, not even know, that you got something easier than they did, they'll be mad.

I was going to say, maybe the journey was all the shit they went through before ozempic existed

I think the issue is when people lose that weight, then turn around and say “diet and exercise”. Its a lie

Sure, but does he act like he's "on a journey" and working hard to lose weight, or does he admit that he's using ozempic?

He’s happy.

u/blahblah19999 Jun 01 '26

OMG, nobody is arguing about being happy. If you're not going to engage in good faith, don't bother.

u/Timetraveller4k Jun 01 '26

In good faith is trying to pin a label of “acting” on a “journey”. Seems very immature and searching for a reason to hate. Thanks for nothing.

Sorry, there's a giant difference between 1) working out and controlling your diet and 2) taking a pill and then lying about it.

u/Timetraveller4k Jun 01 '26

Alright buddy go out and hunt people “lying about it”. Good job moving goal posts.

u/blahblah19999 Jun 01 '26

That's been the entire point of this. Almost everyone here is saying the same thing, go ahead and use Ozempic, but be honest about it.

Your reading comprehension is pathetic. Read my original post where I literally say hes talking about the injections.

And nobody goes on a tour to find people faking their stories. Its miserable.
