Abstract
At a recent gathering with a group of women in New York City, the discussion focused on recent developments regarding prescription drugs for weight loss. It appeared that just the idea of losing weight with the help of medication elicited feelings of happiness from them. They named the many benefits they perceived these drugs would bring to their lives—spending less time working out, reducing the likelihood of exercise-related injury, curbing appetite, and focusing on more enjoyable activities.
