DNMs

It's fun to dereference jargon the First time you use it.

What are "DNMs"?

Thanks I hate z pronouns

I assumed your friend died from the first sentence, care to elaborate?

What would you say to someone who weighed about 28.5 stone, suffers with chronic lower back pain that limits movement, inflammation causing limited range of motion caused by the excessive weight, knee problems which limit ability to climb stairs and do things like squats or stand from kneeling or from the floor who eats uncontrollably to get a dopemine fix because they cant get adhd medication because of NHS wait times and lack of in person clinics, which are needed due to hypertension and irregularities on ana ECG and doesnt self medicate with weed anymore due to legality l, access and health issues.

Can't exercise effectively due to weight, can't lose weight to get help with excessive eating due to inability to exercise effectively. Catch 22. I am fucked.

Do i not qualify as having a legitimate reason to take weightloss medication to get me into a place where i can move properly. My quality of life is shit and i have done everything to try to fix it. I have an exercise bike but cant use it for long due to pain in my knees and shins, started swimming to ease the load on my knees but couldnt get any room in my local pool to exercise due to lane swimmers, all the dedicated classes take place whilst i am in work or too close to my finishing times. I need to travel 40 minutes to a pool that does a class at the right time for me. Have kids and house to help with. I took a weightloss course with NHS but lost nothing because it was a pile of crap course that didnt adress the issues people have with weight and only told us all what we already knew and offered a single 40 minute class a week doing low impact exercises in 2 minute bursts.

I started taking mounjaro which i pay out of my arse for, and i have lost 2 stone so far. On track to lose even more. Starting to exercise again. Feel better overall. Cardio is better, can walk further than 30 metres without needing to sit down. Back pain is still here but hopefully will ease off.

Ive never been this big in my life, always a bit chunky (like 14-16 stone in my teens to early 30s) stopped smoking and piled it on over a year.

Its not so black and white.

Individual differences matter.

Some people are eating like a truck and can barely be called active, yet remain slim.

Some others put a much greater effort into keeping themselves in shape, stick to a diet, exercise a lot, and still don't have it.

There are plenty of genuine issues that can make losing weight problematic. But taking random drugs without prescription like there's no tomorrow is not going to help.
