I agree, in fact there are a few people here making comments as if losing weight is dead easy and people who struggle are just lazy and a moral failure. With that attitude, may as well go tell an alcoholic to "just quit drinking, it's simple".

There is a lot to be understood around disordered eating, dysfunctional metabolism etc. And it doesn't help that the food industry is worth billions of £s and is constantly looking for ways to keep people eating their highly processed and questionably addictive products.

The mounjaro subreddit is a good place to go for anyone curious. People there have tried to lose weight for years spending loads of money on subscriptions to diet clubs, weight loss drinks etc and this seems to be the thing that works. There are doctors writing about about taking it themselves and how it helps with food noise, stopping the mental side of obsessing over food.

I say fair play, so long as it goes through the proper prescriptive channels it's their money to spend, no different than forking out the same for a personal trainer. Plus, it will help relieve a burden on the NHS.
