On one hand she’s right, but on the other hand if you are going to preach “be who you want to be” it sucks to put down women who want to lose their weight.

I have complicated feelings about this because I believe that Ashley Graham would be on GLP-1’s if having a slightly larger than Hollywood-average body wasn’t her entire brand.

If people have diabetes, high cholesterol, fatty liver and have not had much luck losing weight without drugs, it’s none of our business to judge. Because unfortunately for lots of people, heavier bodies are indicative of illness. I have personal experience with this. I NEVER had normal cholesterol level until my weight got to a size where I could fit into a size 4. And I needed medical help for that.

We really group everyone on GLP-1s all in one group and it needs to stop.
Most of us on it chose it because it makes life so so much easier to be able to eat healthy without fighting the addiction of sugar and junk food or overeating.
My sleep has improved. My back and hip pain has improved a ton. My skin looks better. I have more energy. I’m able to address my stress eating much easier and learn healthier coping mechanisms. Those are just some of the benefits I’ve had.
Edit: lol at the weirdo that sent me a reddit cares because I said I sleep better and have better skin and mental health. Stay mad ❤️

Hot take: I don’t think body positivity was ever a thing. Even if someone was overweight and celebrated in the media, they were overweight in “the right way”. They either still had great overall proportions, a stunning face, etc.
Average day to day overweight people were still being ridiculed.
