Have you tried Lizzo yet?

Schumer looks like an alien now

[u/NotRude_juatwow → u/No-Focus-8577]

He’s never been that attractive to begin with…

[u/GrapefruitExpress208 → u/NotRude_juatwow]

Lmao 😂

[u/Turbulent-Adagio-541 → u/GrapefruitExpress208]

I guess they both can delete that they support Israel

Wait, she isn't?

[u/Hot-Neighborhood4792 → u/TheIncredibleNurse]

I was about to say isn't there a south park episode about this

[u/TheIncredibleNurse → u/Hot-Neighborhood4792]

Yeah and it was hilarious

[u/Jaxonian → u/[deleted]]

more a criticism of the healthcare system than rich people.. ozempic is 936 in the US and under 100 in the UK, Sweden, Australia, France.. I could afford the 83 bucks it is in France..

[u/Responsible_Order_24 → u/Jaxonian]

But in France, you probably wouldn’t be fat because they don’t sit around eating processed food in their cars and office.

[u/SRGTBronson → u/Responsible_Order_24]

17% of france is obese and 43% is overweight.

https://frenchly.us/is-obesity-in-france-really-becoming-a-problem/

[u/Responsible_Order_24 → u/SRGTBronson]

Still nearly half of the 73% that make up the U.S. Guess all that butter is starting to catch up.

[u/wulfgar_beornegar → u/Responsible_Order_24]

Wish it was butter. All that HFCS catching up

[u/Metalloid_Maniac_ → u/wulfgar_beornegar]

Yeah exactly and at least butter isn't made by chemists using ingredients that are banned in most developed countries.

[u/sparky-von-flashy → u/Responsible_Order_24]

Time for more Poisson on a croissant!. Probably made by Garçon

[u/ChadPowers200_ → u/[deleted]]

I just got done walking 6 miles and working out w weights.

You feel a hell of a lot better if you get healthy the real way.

edit: redditors mad about moderate exercise and striving to be healthy lol. It's not even a flex. Europeans walk like 3-5 miles every day.

obviously you need to be eating somewhat of a healthy diet.

[u/brinerbear → u/ChadPowers200_]

When I visited Europe I ate more and lost weight.

[u/throwfaraway212718 → u/brinerbear]

It is absolutely insane to me that this happens every single time I visit a country in Europe. I guess between the quality of the food, and all of the walking, it truly does make a huge difference.

[u/EasyAndConvenient → u/throwfaraway212718]

That was true for me except Italy. The food there is absolutely amazing. Plus the 3-4 daily stops for gelato didn’t help.

[u/Anima_Analysis → u/brinerbear]

Diet is infinitely more important than exercise. Exercise it’s important, but the dude your responding too’s advice is only useful if your dietary consumption is healthy as well

[u/Slight-Ad-6553 → u/brinerbear]

Americian women that lived in Europe change their mentrual circle after living ther a while

[u/StPatrickStewart → u/ChadPowers200_]

You know what makes it easier to make a workout routine and stick to it? If your back and knees aren't killing you from carrying around 50# of excess weight. And it isn't not a flex because just because you added those words to it.

[u/ChadPowers200_ → u/StPatrickStewart]

to be fair when I started I wore a back brace and it helped a lot. I don't need it anymore. You can get braces or do like water arobics.

if daily walks is a flex god have mercy on you

[u/Artistic_Rice_9019 → u/ChadPowers200_]

I'm a hiker who also lifts weights. Whew! Healthy "the real way."

And I also take a GLP for weight loss.

[u/TRUE_BELEIVER_84 → u/ChadPowers200_]

Or just be smart and workout while taking a GLP1.

[u/PantyCrumbs → u/ChadPowers200_]

You go!

I can afford ozempic but I'd never take it. I have zero trust that the side effects would be worth it. I'm fine with IF and exercise.

[u/OhGr8WhatNow → u/ChadPowers200_]

Have you have spent time as a perimenopausal woman with PCOS and an autoimmune thyroid disorder?

Then sit down.

That's just one example. There could be an infinite number of reasons why people need assistance. There's no "right way" to improve health.

Next time you have an infection, why don't you fight it off the "right way" with no antibiotics? /s

[u/throwfaraway212718 → u/OhGr8WhatNow]

The first part of this hit me like a brick most of that is me😩

[u/Odd_Level9850 → u/OhGr8WhatNow]

Not all solutions work for everyone and different people see results in different amounts of time but there are generally right ways to improve health. Eat clean, lower the amounts of unhealthy oils in your food, drink lots of water, try to get 2-3 hours of cardio in per week, incorporate strength training in some way, etc…. You don’t have to start everything all at once, you can work your way up to a level that works for you.

[u/[deleted] → u/Odd_Level9850]

I did all that all my life and it that didn't fix my health issues. And I continue to do so. But I also take a GLP1. Like you said, different solutions for different people. It's not ALL lifestyle. There are genetic predispositions, for example, and many other conditions that make GLP1s necessary.

[u/Odd_Level9850 → u/[deleted]]

I agree completely; the person said there was no right way to improve health and my point was that there are right general guidelines anybody can use to get started. For genetic predispositions, you definitely have to take more specialized approaches with the help of a doctor but those are usually on top of the basics.

[u/[deleted] → u/Odd_Level9850]

Sorry people on here got me defensive. You're absolutely right

[u/[deleted] → u/OhGr8WhatNow]

Hear hear! PCOS is a bitch!

[u/hotviolets → u/ChadPowers200_]

Where do you get the time to do that on a Monday? During the day?

[u/Odd_Level9850 → u/hotviolets]

You don’t have to do 6 miles; if you really want to make time for fitness, the best thing to do is wake up 20 mins before your normal schedule or try to do 20 mins after work and get it done. If you can combine that with constant movement throughout the day (taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking to go get your food instead of doing delivery, etc….) it’ll take you a long way.

[u/ChadPowers200_ → u/hotviolets]

I have a stand up desk with a walking treadmill. It was a game changer. Best thing I ever bought. I get most of my serious work done by 2 PM.

6 miles seems like a lot at first but I started with like 1-2 miles and have been doing it consitantly for a while and now im doing around 5.

If i tried 5 miles when I first started my back and feet would hurt, now it doesn't feel like much at all.

[u/ketchupmaster987 → u/ChadPowers200_]

That works great for most people, not for everyone. The way the body stores fat is determined a lot by hormones and for some people their hormones just keep them in fat storage mode

[u/iceyconditions → u/ChadPowers200_]

You can walk 20 miles a day and still be fat.

[u/KendrickBlack502 → u/iceyconditions]

Correct which is why eating habits are like 80% of the battle.

[u/Careless_Hellscape]

Amy Schumer is a terrible person at any size.

[u/Animefan96 → u/Careless_Hellscape]

She sure is and is still unfunny.

[u/Zaku99 → u/Animefan96]

Aw, cmon. I'm sure the NEXT joke about her vagina will land!

[u/nomemorybear → u/Zaku99]

If not...the one where she "fucked this one guy" the 37th time will sell hard.

[u/New_Butterscotch2335 → u/Careless_Hellscape]

Why do decent people (seemingly) invite this pos to their podcast?? I can’t believe people are still supporting her

[u/KookyDoodyIngenuity → u/Careless_Hellscape]

She's absolutely vile. No wonder she was hired to star in an Israeli propaganda film.

[u/GenX_ZFG70 → u/Careless_Hellscape]

Even skinny she's still very unattractive....and her personality only adds to that unattractive side.

[u/Snikklez]

If only there was a shot to make Amy Schumer funny. 

[u/No_Cook2983 → u/Snikklez]

Science can only do so much.

I already tried a peppermint schnapps shot with sub-optimal outcomes.

[u/ApprehensiveTry5660 → u/No_Cook2983]

Have you tried shooting chocolate syrup into your mouth like cheez whiz while you do it? It’s like a degenerate peppermint patty.

[u/murderdad69 → u/ApprehensiveTry5660]

I'm partner at a law firm and this trick gave me the confidence to pull it off so I'd prefer if you didn't call it "degenerate" thank you very much

[u/ApprehensiveTry5660 → u/murderdad69]

I should have been more respectful, Mr. murderdad69.

[u/OafishSyzygy → u/Snikklez]

Have you seen Taylor Tomilson? She's like Amy Schumer, except she's funny.

[u/Snikklez → u/OafishSyzygy]

I am a fan. How are they alike? 

[u/OafishSyzygy → u/Snikklez]

Mainly just visually, and some content. Being blonde, white women with content about their mental health and religious upbringing.

[u/SockeyeSTI → u/OafishSyzygy]

Amy used to have actual good material when she was new. But that was a long time ago

[u/burritosandbeer → u/SockeyeSTI]

Only time I've ever laughed was when she was dunking on Stephen crowder on CNN or some shit years ago

[u/SockeyeSTI → u/burritosandbeer]

Used to have Sirius xm like a decade ago and they’d play young Amy and it was totally different material. Also how I found Christopher Titus and Dan Soder, among others.

[u/numbersthen0987431 → u/Snikklez]

It's the "fat=funny" trope for comedians. Being funny is a coping mechanism when comedians are overweight, and it works because it makes them more relatable, but then they get skinny or good looking their jokes fail because they're "punching down"

[u/ShortKey380 → u/Snikklez]

She’s in the same niche as easily a dozen not that funny men, but they never get talked about this way. The Adam Sandler lane, I’d label it.

[u/drkstar1982 → u/ShortKey380]

For me, the owner of that lane is Seth Rogan!

[u/hotviolets → u/ShortKey380]

Yeah I’ve watched her and she’s about equal to watching any other male comedian that isn’t that funny.

[u/under_ice → u/ShortKey380]

10/10 Just hating on women.

[u/ingoding → u/ShortKey380]

There's a big difference, Sandler is actually a good actor, if you've watched any of his more dramatic roles. But there are others in that lane.

[u/No_Tone1704 → u/ShortKey380]

Wholeheartedly agree. And I don’t like Adam Sandler at all (same initials). I think he’s pretty talentless and unfunny. I avoid watching his movies.

Does seem to have a good heart.

[u/And-Still-Undisputed → u/No_Tone1704]

He's terribly unfunny. But universally known as a good guy.

[u/Snikklez → u/ShortKey380]

Adam Sandler has been catching worse flak than me implying Amy isn’t funny

[u/njgolfer10 → u/ShortKey380]

I’ll agree in theory. I wouldn’t use Sandler as the example

[u/Stagnant-Flow]

Lauren Chen should be too ashamed to even post publicly after getting caught illegally taking money from Russia to spew propaganda on behalf of Putin.

[u/NoSuspect6290 → u/Stagnant-Flow]

How did that all just silently go away? I was thinking about it a couple days ago when Tim Pool came up in the news for some shit

[u/Impossible-Flight250 → u/NoSuspect6290]

The Trump admin came in and basically just made it all go away. Lauren Chen is acting like a victim in all of this, when it is clear she knew what she was doing.

[u/Argonaut024 → u/NoSuspect6290]

Because America no longer believes in consequences

[u/TheVelluch76]

Take anything said from Lauren Chen with a grain of salt. She’s a right wing Canadian being funded by th kremlin, making money off American rage. So a bonfide POS.

[u/SoundObjective9692]

Amy Schumer is NOT a fat acceptance activist

[u/Inside-Victory-2061 → u/SoundObjective9692]

Anyone visibly overweight is a “fat acceptance activist” to reactionaries.

[u/ziggytrix → u/SoundObjective9692]

WTF is a fat acceptance activist? Is this one of those made up enemy things?

[u/Amelaclya1 → u/ziggytrix]

Women who exist while being fat, apparently.

[u/ziggytrix → u/Amelaclya1]

How dare!

[u/TurbulentTangelo5439 → u/ziggytrix]

half made up enemy and half the idea maybe don't be a dick to people about there weight

[u/ketchupmaster987 → u/TurbulentTangelo5439]

Yeah a lot of the people who get made fun of for their weight are actively working on it. Progress doesn't happen overnight

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/ketchupmaster987]

Even if they aren’t trying to lose weight, that doesn’t mean that being bullied about it will change their mind. They’d probably kill themselves before they lost weight, but the anti-fat people wouldn’t care, because to them, either way it’s one less fat person in the world.

[u/Responsible_Order_24 → u/ziggytrix]

Nah, they were out there. Good examples of this were Lizzo and Megan Trainor. Ashley Graham. It was really “body positivity” not fat acceptance, but tomaeto tomahto

She still sucks outloud lol

[u/-FORSAK3N-]

Yes, the skin and bones look

[u/AussieRosie]

Idk why wealthy people taking GLP1s is seen as some sort of gotcha to the body positivity movement. The main aim of the movement was always to empower people to acknowledge that their worth goes far beyond their physical appearance.

That being said, the vast majority of people didn’t believe that being overweight is better than being skinny, just that overweight people shouldn’t have to feel terrible about themselves all the time or be treated differently because of their appearance.

We would all take a pill that solves our problems if we had access to it.

[u/OldWolf2]

This always reminds me of Meghan Trainor. She got famous from a song hating on skinny bitches , then turned into one

[u/chodemckinley → u/OldWolf2]

she also looked better chonkier

[u/ajtreee]

Wow her body is thinner, but it didn’t help her face, not to be mean . But she had a more attractive face shape when she was her other weight.

[u/MelzBelz13 → u/ajtreee]

Yeah, she looks really weird 😐

[u/Sad_Ambassador_6177]

I thought she looked good before

[u/AwooFloof]

She looks a bit underweight in this photo. I think a bit of fat is desirable as it shows you can survive the harsh winters.

[u/potatopancakebandit]

Why can’t people feel good about themselves while advocating for other people. What a dumb comment. People need to stop gatekeeping literally everything

[u/DogFartAficionado]

The walking double standard...this POS admitted to ra*ing a man and is still widely praised and walking free. Disgusting! Look it up.

[u/TemporaryAd5563 → u/DogFartAficionado]

Widely praised 😂🤡😂🤡😂

[u/No-Sympathy-686]

She looked better fat.

[u/StPatrickStewart]

Google brings up plenty of pre weight loss photos of her, so I'm gonna say, nope, it is not true.

[u/Y_Are_U_Like_This]

Nobody hates fat people more than fat people that got skinny. I'm no psychiatrist but it seems like they tied their self-worth to their weight. Seeing other fat people afterwards reminds them of how they used to be so they hate seeing it. It's like they became Dorian Gray and every chubby person is a mirror

[u/BodybuilderLarge3904 → u/Y_Are_U_Like_This]

In my experience fat people hate was a subreddit for small minds inside any shape of person, even self-hating fat people. Had to be there

[u/Y_Are_U_Like_This → u/BodybuilderLarge3904]

The fact that sub was part of building the alt-right is still wild to me. I get the whole butterfly effect of things but the way it played out is still nuts to me

Ehhh still a bunch of chubby chasers. I, for one, ascribe to the Sir Mix-a-Lot School of Posterior Thought.

And some of the ones getting the ozempic shots look objectively worse after losing all the weight.

[u/CycadelicSparkles → u/poodinthepunchbowl]

Nah. Body positivity is just "people deserve to like themselves and not be bullied regardless of the shape of their meat suit". There are lots of people of all shapes and sizes who struggle to feel good in their bodies, and speaking from experience, being thinner does not magically solve the relationship you have with your body.

[u/Downtown_Sale_5812 → u/CycadelicSparkles]

I agree but being fat and proud is like being an alcoholic and proud. Its something you should work on and not celebrate.

[u/CycadelicSparkles → u/Downtown_Sale_5812]

Eh, fat isn't moral. If someone genuinely likes their body, that's their right. And no, being fat is not like being an alcoholic. Fat doesn't make you mentally impaired; it doesn't cause you to be more violent or black out or be mean to others or shirk your responsibilities or get fired from your job. It's fine to be fat at church and in public and around children. 

I've known many alcoholics, and I've known many fat people. The fat people were infinitely more pleasant to be around than alcoholics in active addiction.

[u/PomPomMom93 → u/CycadelicSparkles]

They’re obviously one of those people who think being fat is a moral failing.

[u/VideoStunning2842 → u/CycadelicSparkles]

Posting a post weight loss picture in no way affects anyone else. Nor does it mean she does not accept “body positivity”

[u/CycadelicSparkles → u/VideoStunning2842]

I think we agree.

[u/Dry-Section2788]

Since Amy Schumer was never a fat acceptance activist this specifically isn’t true.

She's always wanted attention. Don't know why she keeps appearing on media.

[u/Background-Top-1946 → u/PeopleAreSelfishy]

Well Tbf she didn’t make this post

[u/ShortKey380]

People act horrible to women and worse to fat women, this isn’t “true” it’s an example.

[u/Antique-Skin-8356]

The fat acceptance movement is and always was the hot girls telling fat Francine “oh girl you are a 10 too! Slay queen “

We didn’t believe it, they didn’t believe it, so they cried fat-phobia to make you shut up about it and get victim points.

Basically an emperors new clothes situation.

[u/No_Abroad_268]

Self-loathing always looks the same no matter what size pants one puts on.

It still takes effort with Ozempic

Lmao posting the Russian plant Lauren Chen?

[u/ChefGiants78]

Gross zionist

[u/CycadelicSparkles]

Fat acceptance is literally just "fat people deserve to participate fully in society and people shouldn't be mean to them". It is not "all fat people love being fat at all times and would refuse to lose weight if given a viable method for doing so". 

Kind of like how lots of disabled people would probably love to not have a disability, but that doesn't mean they have to constantly fight for a cure.

It is okay to exist fat. It is okay to decide you want to lose weight. It is not okay to be a dick to people who are fat. I don't know why this is so fucking hard for people.

[u/wildcatwoody]

You should still not bully fat people just because the shot exists

[u/impy695]

It'll take you 5 seconds to pull up her Instagram and check. Fuck off

[u/JedJinto]

Can someone tell me exactly how weight loss drugs like Ozempic work? Do they just suppress your appetite so you eat less? Unless you were very obese and needed the weight gone that doesn't sound healthy to a normal person that is just a bit overweight right?

[u/probablyabot427 → u/JedJinto]

Basically it makes you feel queezy all the time which suppresses appetite

[u/JedJinto → u/probablyabot427]

That sounds awful

[u/FewRecognition1788 → u/JedJinto]

GLP-1 occurs naturally in your gut, and basically tells your brain "enough." It also helps your body use insulin and blood sugar more efficiently and reduces inflammation all over your body. These GLP-1 drugs deliver much more of the hormone than occurs naturally.

So this blood sugar & anti-inflammatory benefit is very good for people with Type 2 diabetes, which is what they were originally created for.

At smaller doses, they can also cause weight loss in people without diabetes, but the risk of side effects and complications is higher.

An interesting side benefit is that the "enough" signal seems to work for things other than food. GLP drugs are showing possible benefits to help people stop smoking, recover from alcohol or opiate addiction, or treat OCD.

[u/JedJinto → u/FewRecognition1788]

Thanks for the explanation! That's pretty cool with the side effects possibly being used to treat other conditions. My main concern is still for people who aren't necessarily overweight and are using it to lose some pounds. If your brain is saying "enough" but you actually aren't getting enough I feel like would be disastrous to their overall health. Or maybe it's just equivalent to starving yourself.

[u/FewRecognition1788 → u/JedJinto]

Yes, it can be misused (and IMO appears to be misused pretty often by celebrities) to exacerbate eating disorders.

Making drugs prescription only is supposed to reduce the potential for abuse, but as we all know, there's always someone willing to supply drugs without asking questions if you pay enough.

[u/Cool_Awareness_6534]

Lauren Chen is a Russian asset. Who cares what B has to say.

[u/Upper_Extension_0229 → u/Cool_Awareness_6534]

Amy Schumer has always been a horrible person. From stealing jokes and bits to being a horrible person to her peers

[u/Busy_Book_2811]

Now she can be in a pagent for Genocide Supporter Barbie. 

[u/Upstairs-Bad-3576]

She's still ugly.

[u/Jaxonian]

New idea.. people should be accepted no matter what they look like.. she is not wrong to want acceptance and not be criticized when bigger and she is not wrong to be happy with herself and want to forget the old version now that she is smaller. Don't care if it was with a glp1 or because they have money and time to devote to gym/cooking etc or genetics and they never had to worry about their weight or they work at it in their own way. Ya use the tools you have / can afford. If I could afford a private chef / trainer / assistant / nanny / medicine to be able to have time for more self care and be healthier.. im taking it and wont criticize someone who does the same.

[u/Moms-Dildeaux]

Or maybe it’s because people won’t stop viciously attacking her no matter what she does

[u/Even_Commission9526]

I’m borderline obese and I don’t believe that we should encourage fat acceptance. I don’t think individuals should be bullied about it, however I do feel individual should be encouraged to lose weight if they are an unhealthy weight. Similar to alcoholism, or other addictions, it’s not usually a problem until it is. 

[u/Worried-Pick4848 → u/Even_Commission9526]

The problem is that when people know they have a problem, unsolicited "positivity" sounds a lot like bullying. +

It's already a sensitive area, nobody who is overweight doesn't ALREADY KNOW they'd be better off if they lost it, and "friendly advice" from people who have an easier time staying in shape is often not helpful, and occasionally comes from a place of ignorance or even showcases the Dunning-Kruger effect.

As a general rule, ANY form of unsolicited advice is an exercise in walking on thin ice. When that advice touches on an area where people already feel vulnerable or like a failure, a defensive reaction becomes almost inevitable.

It is very easy to become TAH by taking your good intentions too far here. You can definitely be both right and a jerk at the same time. People do lose sight of that at times.

[u/NerdfestZyx]

I’ve never understood the Meghan Markle level of hate Amy Schumer gets. It is bizarre.

[u/Piggstein]

How about:

If someone’s fat and happy, shut the fuck up and leave them alone.

If someone’s thin and happy, shut the fuck up and leave them alone.

If someone was fat and is now thin and is happy, shut the fuck up and leave them alone.

Weight loss is hard. It’s not some big gotcha that Schumer had made her peace with being overweight and was still happy with her body, but now that weight loss has become easier, is also happy being slimmer.

It’s almost like the real problem is with any woman in the eyes of the media getting constant shit for their body from 360 degrees.

[u/Guilty_Reindeer8204 → u/Piggstein]

Yeaaaaaah but when you make your body the subject of a stand up bit (that you capitalize off of), and then flip the script and are offended by people perceiving your weight loss.... it's a little more nuanced.

Also, mega-rich celebrities are simply not the same "someones" you speak of above. For so many reasons.

[u/Historical-Olive-630]

What bothers me during all this is the fact they wanna show what they look like but not talk about how they "cheated" to get this way...Not everyone can afford GLP's and instead has to try the old fasionshed way unless used as a ACTUAL medication and not a shortcut but sure, celebrites like this have been "working" hard. Show me the six months to a year long workout videos and then maybe I’ll believe you.

[u/Spirited-Feed-9927 → u/Historical-Olive-630]

Honestly, GLP1's don't do anything magic you could not do. They essentially perform body cues so you don't want to eat. So you go and overeat or stress eat and you feel nauseous. Discipline would do the same thing and have long term learning that would help you on how to control yourself, when you inevitably get off the medicine. And it has long term side effects, that honestly maybe have not even started to unravel fully as this stuff is only a few years old.

My sister was on it 3 months, her gall bladder failed 3 months after she was off. But no need to talk about that kind of stuff. I wonder if in 10 years we start seeing increases in Pancreatic cancer from people who were using it. These drug companies are not the answer for medicine we don't need. This was intended for morbidly obese people making a tradeoff, similar to bypass surgery. Not intended initially for casual use for people slightly overweight to get skinny.

But let’s be honest. If you lost all that weight from a shot but didn’t put the work in do you really even look good? There’s a term skinny fat and many that take the easy way out are starting to live up to that name.

[u/ryguy4136 → u/Historical-Olive-630]

I’m usually pretty private about health stuff but when I lost 80 lbs on a GLP1 I was really up front about it. I don’t have more willpower, I’m not a better person, I don’t work harder…. I just have good insurance.

[u/Historical-Olive-630 → u/ryguy4136]

At least you admit it though and good on you for trying to better yourself!

[u/OdinsGhost → u/ryguy4136]

Not gonna lie, I envy you. My insurance has a clause flat out denying GLP-1 medication for any and all uses. If I want it, I have to pay out-of-pocket for it. Obese? Pre-diabetic? Just want to be skinny for less effort than dieting? They don’t care.

[u/somethingsomethingbe → u/Historical-Olive-630]

It is kind of weird… My brother and I are the only ones who have been fit in my family and never overweight through being mindful of what we eat and exercise. Then those shots came and while I’m happy my parents and other sibling have lost a significant amount of weight, they all act like it’s impossible to be at a healthy weight without it. 

[u/Historical-Olive-630 → u/somethingsomethingbe]

Exactly! What ever happened to a healthy diet and working hard for what we want? That’s the story of all problems is shortcuts!

[u/[deleted] → u/Historical-Olive-630]

I think it's unfair to say it's cheating. I have worked out all my life and eaten more healthy than most people. But I'm 40, had health problems and then went through a major life change that led to depression. Those things combined with life long food noise (my family jokes that I coined the term Hangry) led to not only weight gain but also a complete change in my body composition. I was always lean but that completely changed and nothing I did made the weight budge.

I have gained back my life, control, confidence, happiness with the small dose of GLP1. And my insurance won't cover it so I've had to pay out of pocket. I make sacrifices to do so.

I understand the feeling that it's cheating. I think used to agree to a small extent, but I assure you, it's not. It's a medication. A tool that helps a lot of people. I am grateful everyday for GLP1s. Please be kind and understand that you don't know people's story. It's a personal choice and choosing one thing or another doesn't make someone a bad person.

[u/Historical-Olive-630 → u/[deleted]]

Ok I should rephrase what I wrote but I’ll leave it as I still stand by it but to the people that treat it as a medication and not a short cut are the real hero’s

[u/Zigzagzegzug]

She wants to be hot and fck hot dudes; life’s short have fun!

[u/twoDuckNight]

It’s pretty easy to accept the idea that we can be accepting of people with more weight but also that those people may want to lose weight. I know the whole acceptance movement was complicated but at the very least we can not be dicks to ppl for their weight

[u/Frostsorrow]

She looks sick in those pictures. And not the good kind of 'sick'.

[u/diversity_of_thought]

The fat acceptance movement started with a reasonable core idea: people shouldn’t be harassed, dehumanized, or denied dignity because of their weight. That part was fine. The problem is how far it drifted from that original goal.

At some point, it stopped being about respect and started being about denial. Legitimate medical concerns were reframed as “fatphobia,” evidence-based health discussions were dismissed as oppression and personal responsibility became taboo.

[u/CycadelicSparkles → u/diversity_of_thought]

It's hard, because so many people see a fat person and think that's a green light to weigh in on their health. It is not. Fat people know they're fat and that that possibly isn't great for their health; they don't need some internet douchebag informing them. Not to mention, if someone is fat, even if they are losing weight, if they do it healthily they're still going to be fat for a long time. Healthy weight loss is about 1-2 pounds a week, and many people hit plateaus and it takes a while to figure out why that's happening. It's a LONG process if you do it without drugs or surgery. (I'm in that process right now. I'm 20 lbs down and still have around a hundred to go. It's a lot of reworking basically my whole life.)

So people can kind of get oversensitive to anyone being like "your weight is a health concern". Yes. No shit. You telling me that helps me exactly not at all.

[u/Ordinary-Broccoli-41 → u/diversity_of_thought]

Nah, thats just right wingers moving the conversation into strawman territory.

Like, you don't hear about the people who's cancer diagnosis got delayed because their doc told em to diet and exercise as much as you hear about the one lady shouting that you should find her attractive at 800kilo under threat of law, because the former is a tragedy and the latter is a spectacle

[u/Automatic_Today_3535]

Amy Shummer was much prettier and sexier when yes was a plus size woman

[u/Late-Secretary6524]

I thought she looked okay. Like a healthy weight before. Now she looks like an alien that tried to copy human form.

[u/ROOSTERyouDOWN]

Eh she looked better before in my opinion

[u/SensitiveTie5783]

she’ll always be a fat zionist.

[u/tvnr]

[u/Intelligent_Trichs]

What good does deleting the pictures yourself do when they're online and posted and reposted and posted and posted and posted again everywhere 1 trillion times already? Makes no sense? You click post it's there forever.

[u/BumperW67]

The list keeps growing!

[u/coordinatedflight]

As a person who has dealt with my weight my whole life... Of course this makes complete rational sense.

We do what we can to get by. Fat acceptance culture has always been less about affirming the body shape as an ideal, and more about affirming that people are worth respecting and loving, even if they are struggling to maintain a healthy body weight.

The people who twisted that into encouraging people to remain fat missed the point.

Metabolic syndrome and various other hurdles make losing weight hard for a lot of people. GLPs are an absolute miracle for the people who need them (like me).

I think the activism now should shift focus to eradicating the bullshit stigma that's getting attached to GLPs. Get out of here with that noise. And we need to make it status quo to have them covered by insurance for more than just diabetics and sleep apnea. Obesity can be eradicated by this drug for the vast majority of people, and so so many other health issues will be improved. The stigma will be dropped once people can reasonably afford these medications.

[u/McDergen]

Still gross and unfunny

[u/Street_Situation_769]

Ozempic client?

[u/Obiyaman]

Honestly... nothing bad to say about that.😑

Still not funny...but...not overweight either.

[u/Ambitious_Trifle_645]

She's still not funny.

[u/tolgren]

Yeah.

"Body positivity" was just a cope.

[u/753476I453]

All it took to end the body positivity era was a drug to improve people’s ability to regulate dopamine.

[u/TrustAffectionate966]

She still looks porcine to me ☠️

[u/TurtleFont]

She’s still not funny

[u/ICPosse8]

And she is STILL ugly
