Which is why I find comments like

Ozempic is basically opioid crisis 2.0.

Perplexing. Weight loss jobs are supposed to aid you, not carry you. Even in the article, one of the women said she came off the jabs and started binge eating again and I'm like, "WTF, why are you coming off the drug then?" Society keeps stoking up fear regarding these drugs instead of accepting them as a societal win. I liked what the article said about providing support, but I also think effort needs to go into, rather than just stopping, step people down and ween them off so the change feels seamless.
