Mean Mounjaro Users

I've noticed a pattern in this group that really bothers me. Whenever someone admits they had a binge-eating moment, ate something “off plan,” or just had a tough day and turned to food, the response from some people is shockingly unkind. The way some folks talk down to others—almost as if they’ve never struggled themselves—is disappointing.

I saw someone comment recently that if we were all perfect, none of us would be on Mounjaro, and that really stuck with me. This is supposed to be a space where we support each other while being honest, but instead, it feels like some people have put themselves on a pedestal.

It’s even worse when I see people talking down on their past selves, as if losing weight somehow erased their worth when they were bigger. I get it—many of us have been abused, mistreated, or overlooked because of our weight. But if you turn around and become the kind of person who shames others for struggling, then you’re no better than the ones who shamed you in the first place.

Losing weight doesn’t automatically make you a better person. Kindness, empathy, and self-awareness do. Let’s not lose sight of that.
