Weight Loss Injections
Ask a Question
Weight loss injections could be used to help get obese people back into work now I agree it could work for a short time to help them lose some weight but I still think it has to come from the individual once they are down to a certain weight they should work the rest of themselves whats your thoughts
Love my journey with my injections such a confidence boost. But your journey doesn’t end once your at your desired weight, this just leads to the next issue. The injections just speed up the weight lose process
What sort of work you wonder. If you are obese at a young age and that is the only reason you can't do active work then fair enough but if you are obese due to later life with other health conditions then perhaps it won't achieve much. It needs to be assessed on a individual basis really.
BonzoBanana I think it's for older people as most people with weight issues have other issues because of the weight I just don't think it's a simple fix
Leannexxx I think I saw on the news that these dieting drugs are being rationed and only available to some who need them so it will be weird if they are given more liberally to older unemployed but working people are denied them. We shall see how it goes.
BonzoBanana well that's there plan and yes it should be for all over a certain weight
I have battled with my weight all my life, yo yo dieting is me, l eat because I'm bored I'm very rarely hungry, but if l was able to buy this drug and the weight came off l would definitely only eat when I'm hungry and healthily, but l need to get to a happy weight first.
Our friend is on injections. He pays for them himself. It has helped him to lose weight, but he is also exercising and knows that once he is off them he needs to stick to the diet and exercise. Once you come off them if you don't keep to the diet and exercise the weight goes back on, it happened to another friend.
It would help to kick start the process but then a new healthy mind set and incentive and motivation is obviously needed.
The idea is alarming in my opinion as it's clearly part of a totalitarian agenda aimed at further groups of vulnerable people, and essentially another misguided purge on Benefits cutbacks. Obese people are suffering from either a physical cause or more usually a psychological and emotional cause. There's also the concerning question of how it's decided who gets injected and the criteria used. Would it be mandatory or voluntary? Scary times.
I think that the injections should be a last resort. If some people need them, then I agree there should be a cut off
I would love these but won't be offered as employed honestly don't think I'm overweight enoght to be offered anyway. Unfortunately can't afford them as have a family to care for. I was always thin until I got IBS now can't get weight down
Leannexxx I think it should be free for people that would benefit and genuinely want to lose weight
Weight lose is really difficult but the only way to lose weight is cut back on what you eat, healthy eating and exercise
I appreciate the governments thought but some are naturally large, think elephants and rhinos!
