Thoughts on required therapy/nutritionist.

I keep seeing people advocate for people on GLP1 for weight loss to have REQUIRED therapy and see a nutritionist/dietician. They are saying this should be required because of “the risk of developing an eating disorder on these meds”.

I have to call BS.

1. This med is expensive enough. I can’t imagine having to pay for my shots and therapy😭

2. I already have an eating disorder. BINGE EATING DISORDER. IMO overeating is worse than under eating , but obviously taking both to the extreme is not good🙃

3. I would love to be able to afford therapy and nutrition services, but making them a requirement would alienate soooo many people. Even with insurance therapy and nutritionist is often not covered.

4. overall I don’t understand why people are so weird about medication assisted weight loss, and want us to jump through hoops to get healthy and make ourselves feel good and be healthy🤷‍♀️
