Someone yelled fatass at me while I was struggling to pedal up a steep hill on my bike today. I tried to tell myself it did not bother me since I am finally taking my health seriously and just started taking retatrutide, but if I am being completely real, it still stung a little bit. I am putting in the effort, moving my body, and utilizing a GLP-1 to get my weight under control, yet people still feel the need to be mean just because I am going slow. How do you guys handle comments like this when you are already trying everything you can to lose the weight? Even when you know you are on the right path, it kind of gets to you sometimes.

I feel like bigger people can never win. They are big and people have a problem with that. They wanna get right and people have a problem with that.

I've seen so much shit on TikTok and Reddit it's crazy.

Big person eats a salad, comments are like "we all know you smashed a tray of brownies after that" Big person eats a brownie, "we all know you had more than one" Big person goes to the gym, "you're gonna have to do a lot more than that if you don't wanna be the size of my house" Big person loses weight by researching GLP-1 compounds like tirzepatide or sema, "so you cheated? You couldn't do it by yourself" Big person loses weight without any compounds, "shouldn't have been that big in the beginning"

Like damn. What's crazier is these comments will literally get tens of thousands of likes.

If you gotta run a GLP-1 peptide protocol to lose weight, I'm here for it. Some people need more help than others, doesn't mean they aren't worth helping. I don't know if people are miserable or it makes them feel better about themselves when they do shit like this but it's lame af.

Side note: I'm not condoning obesity. I just don't think we should be berating people about their appearance or the tools they use. My mom always said if it's not something they can fix in 5 seconds or 5 minutes it's not right to mention it.

I keep seeing a lot of different numbers and I'm just trying to figure out if Reta is actually that much better than the older stuff. I know Wegovy and Ozempic are usually around 15% and Mounjaro is a bit higher but then people are saying Reta is hitting 30% which seems like a massive jump. Does anyone have the actual breakdown of the percentages for these or has anyone switched and seen the weight drop way faster with the newer stuff?
