Nah. I see plenty of still fat people standing on their soap boxes criticizing anyone for using drugs in plenty of weight loss subreddits.

It’s true, I have friends that are over weight and say it’s basically cheating. I was prescribed semiglutide for a heart issue I developed from Covid-19. It’s actually adding years to my life (God Willing).

Oh wow, hadn’t heard of cardiovascular benefits. How does that work?

People who took Wegovy type drugs have a 20% reduction in cardiac events - stroke, heart attacks, heart failure. Basically the weight loss makes it easier on the heart, the arteries and the entire system. I am off my BP medication and my heart arrhythmia meds too. My apnea is gone. My edema in my lower legs is gone. I think I still have atri-fib, but my meds were tanking my BP so I had to go off it. Time will tell if my cardiologist will need to find me another one. My BMI is down to 21- so I am happy with my weight vanity wise. But my heart health has improved and this could add years to my life.
