I thought I remember her pushing a similar drug tho
A lot of people were lying when they said they liked being fat. It’s not healthy and it hurts as you get older. That shit sucks
What about adding years to people’s lives by not putting strain on their organs?
My wife has a auto immune disease that she needed massive doses of steroids to survive. She gained 80 pounds in 3 months. The condition gave her chronic fatigue. After the weight gain her prior perfectly normal BP was 20 points over.
GLP-1 allowed her to lose the weight with the fatigue, workout again, and dropped her BP back down to 115/75. It’s a miracle drug and longterm probably will add decades to her life. Ashley Greene doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
What if… your body positively feels better on GLP-1?
Omg, it’s ok if people want to get healthier and lose weight. Not everything is about you Ashley Graham. My sister is over 300 lbs and would highly benefit from this. It’ll literally save her life.
I thought body positivity was about celebrating all body types.
Rich people get GLP-1 and poor people get body positivity
I think a lot of people are quick to judge here. GLPs can help many be healthier, but many have misused and/or abused GLPs.
Body Positivity is a good thing, people of various shapes and sizes are beautiful. Being thin shouldn’t equate to beauty.
Body positivity was never a real movement, it was a surrender in the face of defeat.
But now there is a better option for many to lose the weight (that everybody wanted to lose) in order to live a healthier life and it should be encouraged, not criticized.
The problem I’m seeing is average size people (not overweight by bmi) taking them. That isn’t healthy and a doctor wouldn’t prescribe them to someone who is not overweight.
I never realized how bad I felt physically until I lost weight. My knees stopped hurting, I stopped snoring and slept better, I could walk on the treadmill and walk my dogs without getting short of breath.
People are mad about this because there’s more money in being unhealthy.
I’ve been fat and I’ve been skinny. The world is absolutely terrible for fat people. I hate to admit it but life is so much easier when you’re thin.
I think people confuse body positivity with body acceptance/neutrality. It’s hard to be positive about your body when your outward appearance affects almost everything you do. I think it’s easier for someone like Ashley Graham whose plus sized in a more “aesthetic” way (minimal stretch marks, flat stomach, fairly proportionate, not to mention extremely conventionally attractive) to bash things like this. Her weight hasn’t held her back in major ways like it does for a lot of other people.
These medications are changing lives, mine included. I wish everyone who needed them could access them.
I love the way she thinks that other people being able to do what they want with their bodies is a smack in her face.
Frankly, we can say you shouldn’t be treated like garbage for being obese and still recognise that wanting to lose weight is healthier than remaining obese.
I thought body positivity was about not making people feel like garbage about their body? Maybe that was just my interpretation.
I accepted and loved my body when I was bigger, but I’m happier now at a lower weight. That’s all. I’ve always felt beautiful, but being thinner has always been my preference. I won’t lie about that. No one should ever be ashamed or feel lesser than for their weight. It’s just a lot different now when you have an option
The GLP-1 trend is a GOOD thing because 50% or more of Americans are overweight or obese, and GLP-1s are medically helpful. What’s not good is GLP-1 abuse, where people who are not overweight or obese take them for cosmetic reasons, because they just want to be thinner.
Body positivity means acceptance of all bodies. It doesn’t mean doing nothing in a body you’re unhappy in.
Fuck off bitch. It’s not only for vanity. Some people have health issues.
As a normie on glp 1 these comments are reassuring. I feel more positive in my body than I did before. It’s changed my life. I shouldn’t feel less than because I couldn’t lose the weight without it.
When body positivity is justifying being satisfied with an unhealthy weight it’s stupid. Everyone wants to be a healthy weight.
Shocking news: body positivity about being morbidly obese was nothing short of coping
You can have as much body positivity as you want, GLP1s will save fat people from all the negative effects of obesity.
I think prioritising people’s health is more important than their feelings.
It’s because people were lying about liking being fat. I’m losing weight, I’ve lost a ton already and I feel and look so much better. Being fat sucks and I never believed anyone who said they didn’t mind it. Not to mention that fat people get treated like garbage.
Body positivity died when lizzo became the spokesperson for ozempic.
Glp-1s are fantastic drugs for the people that need it and should not be abused by already thin people to lose even more weight and have a medication facilitated ED
Yeah, the body positivity stuff was all lies, most of us knew it at the time.
Body positivity was never about people wanting to be overweight because „that’s who I am“ or whatever. It’s always been about accepting yourself and convincing the skinny people who’ve never been fat stop judging people who are. It was a way to defend against the depression, self loathing, and bigotry. Nobody wants to be fat. Everyone wants to be healthy. Mentally and physically. Body positivity was a way to stop feeling the withering gaze of normies for a minite. Being overweight is really unhealthy and people should do everything they can to get healthy.
How about body positivity for people who acknowledge being overweight is unhealthy and do something about it?
It’s like you can’t win.
You’re fat and you get mocked for being fat. You ask not to be mocked and then get told “ok but now don’t you dare try to get skinny we’ll only tolerate you if you stay fat”
Fat people live life on a harder difficulty.
I could never lose weight and with pre-diabetes, high BP and at 203 lbs I needed to lose weight. I don’t care what anyone thinks of me using it. My doc approves and it’s for my health.
Ashley Graham is likely _not_ experienced working with clinically obese people who struggle with diabetes, pre-diabetes and heart disease. That’s the primary reason physicians prescribe those medications, to help patients prevent long term complications of obesity-related conditions.
That said, it is true that poor people are more likely than wealthy people to need and benefit from GLP-1s due to obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Anyone who’s been poor knows that poor people are less likely to lead physically active lives, eat plant-based diets with minimal processed foods and have access to quality healthcare.
I’m positive I like my body better on a GLP-1 way more than I did trying to be okay as a fat person.
So it’s ok if people want to be large but not if they want to be skinny lol?
I am sick of people equating body positivity to health. People deserve respect regardless of what they weigh. People who need GLP-1s for health reasons deserve access.
Body positivity is a mindset and social attitude around how people view themselves and others who are overweight.
All the social justice and niceties in the world can’t change the fact that obesity is a health condition that should be managed and treated with the best available tools. You don’t need to wait until diabetes hits to start treatment.
It’s basically like thinking smoking is cool in the 90s. Doesn’t change any of the facts around it.
What I want to know is how all these gen z’s are complaining about the cost of living crisis but can somehow afford their Botox and their GLP1s.🤷. And yes it is basically every 2o something year old at my gym. They are all on the glps cos „gotta have the hip bones jutting“
Anyone who needs and can afford to get GLP-1 shouldn’t be shamed for doing so. Having a healthy population will benefit all of us.
A smack in the face that people with the option are choosing to be healthier?
What if,and I know this is crazy, we had a movement that encouraged us to be comfortable in healthy bodies, acknowledged that what a healthy body looks like varies from person to person, and allowed those who struggled to achieve a healthy body on their own to get help without being shamed as a traitor to women’s empowerment?
Body positivity doesn’t make your physical health better
She’s not wrong. But I’m far more concerned about the data coming out that seems to suggest glp-1’s suppress all types of desire, not just for food. Sex drive, ambition, general curiosity about the world. You know, just the defining aspects of the human condition, no biggie.
