Why so many haters?

Is it jealousy? Personally, I’ve never met an obese person who has an issue with other obese people using Ozempic. The complaints always seem to come from thinner individuals who have never struggled with their weight. It’s like they don’t want to acknowledge how hard it is for us or how much we have to struggle to make real changes. They benefit from skinny privilege, where society already caters to them—whether it’s in healthcare, fashion, or just basic respect. But for us, everything is harder, and when we finally find something that helps, they still find a way to criticize us.

Maybe it’s because they see us as competition. If we start losing weight and fitting into their version of “acceptable,” they lose the automatic advantage they’ve always enjoyed. Or maybe they see weight struggles as a moral failure, assuming it’s all about self-control rather than the complex mix of genetics, health, and environment. They criticize us for being overweight, yet they also criticize us for taking the steps to improve our health. It’s a double standard that makes no sense.

That’s why I don’t tell anyone I’m using it. It’s easier to avoid their judgment altogether.
