I think we should hand it out like candy to anyone who needs it while also addressing the bigger problems with our food and appetites in the country.
Not to get too personal, but I'm a really tall bitch (probably one of the tallest women in Austin) who at one point was over 250lbs. Because of the way I was raised (Southern food culture, where food can fix literally any personal problem), plus some genetic predisposition to addiction, I couldn't consistently stay in shape, because as mentioned many times, you can't out exercise a bad diet, and modern America makes it incredibly difficult for someone to work full time, exercise properly, and cook proper healthy meals all at once. So I would do great for months to a year or two and then the wheels would fall off. It was like that for pretty much my entire life post-puberty.
My first dose of semaglutide earlier this April? The voice in my brain that was constantly thinking about food and about what snacks sound good or what I should eat out over the weekend...just non-stop food focus? Gone.
And I haven't heard that voice since.
Give it to anyone who needs it
And fix our food culture.
