19. So disappointed by some of these comments

GLP1 drugs have been a livesaver - literally - for me. They are a miracle.

For those of you who consider obesity some sort of moral failing - shame on you.

It's pretty simple, actually. Everyone's body doesn't process food the same. I could eat only lettuce leaves and plain chicken breasts for months and not lose a pound (ask me how I know).

I have been on a GLP-1 since 2022 with zero side effects. I have lost 185 lbs. I have also eliminated the need for many other medications.

I will forever be on these drugs, and will happily pay the price. I am fortunate that my employer's insurance offers coverage.
