Saxenda...

A drug that treats type 2 diabetes has gotten FDA approval for another use: weight loss.
Saxenda is  already available in a lower dose as Victoza for type 2 diabetes.

Researchers began to study it as an obesity treatment after people on Victoza reported weight loss.
Saxenda is injected daily. It's approved for people with a body mass index (BMI) of 30, considered obese, or a BMI of 27 with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure.
It's meant to be used with exercise and a reduced-calorie diet.

"Clinical trials show that [more than] 60% of patients getting a daily 3-milligram injection lost at least 5% of their weight and 31% lost more than 10%,".
In comparison, 34% of those on placebo lost at least 5% of their body weight, according to the FDA.

Serious side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney problems, and suicidal thoughts. It can also raise heart rate. So good luck with it.

Some guys are narcissists, self-centered, and controlling to the point of wanting authority over where the other person live, eat, and socialize.  A toxic man is someone who doesn’t support you, or encourage you. You end up feeling bad about yourself.

 Mr. Wrong comes in all shapes, sizes, and aspects of life. But what is toxic for one woman  is not necessarily toxic for another. Some women can tolerate a guy who is narcissistic and controlling, while others can’t.

Sometimes there is a feeling that we can change a man or our love is stronger than everyone else’s or it will be different this time. 

It’s really the relationship that’s toxic, not the man or the woman.  If the couple quickly expand the relationship, the separation may not be clean for a fresh start or may be impossible all together..
Why do women get involved with a guy who is bad for them in the first place?

Settle...

Settling for a deadbeat loser is like settling for a job you hate.  What is it about non-ideal situations which makes us keep carrying on, doing nothing to change? If you hate your job, get laid with a nice severance check or just change it if you can!

In the beginning, most women don’t know the guy is a deadbeat loser. He is reasonably attractive and tells a good story about his current situation and his ambitions. Obviously, he will be on his best behavior during the wooing process.  By the time a woman hooks up with the guy, only afterward will she see his true colors.

Her “oh, shit” moment comes at a time too late to fix anything. As we are generally all optimists, a woman believes she can salvage the relationship and change him for the behavior she wants him to be. He can get a better job, make more money, help with the children, and stay charming.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tries, she can’t teach a gorilla how to put down the toilet seat, pay for her affairs, and write her sweet notes of nothing. It’s too late, and eventually, the relationship fades.  In retrospect, every woman who has gone out with a deadbeat loser realizes the case. “I don’t know what I was thinking“, is a phrase that always comes up.
