an acquaintance opened up to me today after I asked what's been wrong with her .. after telling me she's been sick for a while
After making me promise not to tell anyone she admitted to taking ozempic , and says since she took it , she lost 25 lbs in like 1 month but it has sent her body and health into complete turmoil
My heart broke for her cuz I always knew of her expressed insecurities about her appearance ....She said "I wanna be skinny but I don't wanna be skinny this bad "
To me a drug that is strong enough to kinda act as the "magic pill" people have been dreaming of for decades is automatically something not to be played with . what extent of manipulation and trickery on your body has to be produced by this drug in order to achieve this?
I'd say unless there's an immediate medical need for the drug ... cut calories and exercise if u wanna drop some weight . But for many I know that's easier said than done - for a multitude of possible reasons other than "laziness".
To anyone reading this just be careful, and be kind to others. It really broke my heart to see someone I know literally suffering and saying she feels like she's dying sometimes all cuz she wanted to "be skinny".
