I've seen people who are already petite taking them to lose 20 pounds. That could be concerning just because it seems we are already falling back into the early 2000s disordered eating and body image ways on social media. But people can do what they want with their own bodies as long as it's not causing harm. I don't know much about them. I'm ok being chunky.

Can't speak for the rest, but I know Ozempic has had supply issues because of demand. My mom needs it for her diabetes and has, on occasion, been unable to get her prescriptions filled due to lack of supply. There should be a reserve for people who need it for medical reasons. They should get priority.

They're a necessary part of care for some but shouldn't be used as a "get thin quick if you feel ugly" pill like I've been seeing. Diet pills and diet trends have always been around and I just view this as the most recent big one. I'm not a professional at all but I do think it's been over prescribed.

I think if a person is obese and could start having medical issues because of weight, then it’s a good thing.
Unfortunately there will always be celebrities and people that take advantage. Celebrities these days are dangerously thin. I feel like im constantly back in my 2010s tumblr days with pro Ana shit.
Also as someone who was fat, then skinny, then fat again, being skinny did not make me happier like I was always told it would. I’ve seen this with countless other people in my life. We all need to stop the narrative that skinny = healthy and happy.

If they are for diabetes, then diabetes only. Not just for weight loss.

My husband told me its not good for long term use hes a nurse, and in school to become a Nurse Practitioner, I want to get on it just to lose 20 pounds and ill be done 😭

Do what makes you happy.
Whatever makes people’s quality of life increase, I support!

My thoughts are probably VERY unpopular lol….
