You can go on her Instagram and see the suits. She was clearly a lot heavier than vs. now - she had lost some weight, but not the extreme weight loss that people are commenting on now. |
100% and people are misunderstanding the body positivity movement. It’s not about saying I’m fat and I love it. It’s about appreciating and learning to love your body at any size. It’s perfectly valid to say, I’m not the weight that I want to be right now and I’m going to try to lose weight, but in the meantime, I’m going to buy clothes that fit me and look cute on me now. It doesn’t mean that you have to not change your body or lose weight. That’s like saying people are disingenuous because they loved how they look at 25 but now that they’re 50 they can’t possibly love how they look because you either like how you look when you’re younger or you like how you look when you’re older, but you can’t do both. It makes no sense. |
No celebrity needs to comment on her/his body. So the answer is not to put out statements on how much they love their bodies if they don't. |
I don’t think celebrities are randomly issuing statements or holding press conferences on how they feel about their body. But female celebs are often asked about it. Their diet, their exercise routine, what they are wearing, and tons of other appearance related questions. |
They should refuse to answer. They will get much more press that way and today it will be positive press. |
Uh, no they actively demanded everyone accept them as fit and healthy. Now they are all on GLP1 for "health reasons". The fit, fat and healthy was always a lie. |
I don’t see it as a lie. We have mountains of evidence that’s it’s really tough to lose weight long term. So some people who are overweight might be trying to be as healthy as possible. There is nothing wrong with that. Now that we have accessible (to many people) medications, the landscape is shifting. It is not rocket science people. I don’t get the bitterness. If you are heavy and you eager to lose weight talk to your dr. and see if there is a medication that could help. |
It’s not bitterness at all. We knew all along they were full of it. Gaslighting people is never a good idea though. |
Your comment is a non-sequitor. |
| Some of you just need to take a break from social media. Stalking Mindy’s page to see if she’s posted any pictures or said anything about her weight loss it’s just weird. It’s not her responsibility to make you feel good or bad about your body. |
But it is bitterness. If you think a celebrity is gaslighting you because you don’t have up-to-date information on what medication’s they’re taking, you have a real problem. Maybe try quitting having parasocial relationship with celebrities and expecting them to solve your problems for you. Mindy Kaling owes you nothing - absolutely nothing. Deal with it. |

What is even the appeal of following celebrities on social media? Isn't it far more interesting to follow people you know and who know you? How does a celebrity's fluctuating weight affect your life?
BTW poor people should not take these medications that induce anorexia because if they ever are in a position where they can no longer afford them, their hunger will return like a grizzly bear. You have to be on this for life, side effects and all. The only long-term sustainable way to curb your appetite is to train your brain and stomach without drugs, as hard as it is. |
Better than who? Like every non celebrity? Or every person who struggles with their weight? |
What it comes down to is that all of these bigger celebs acted like they were all about healthy at any size and body positivity when they were unable to meet the beauty standard. Now that they can meet that standard (or at least can try to) the message has shifted abruptly from "embrace your curves!" To "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels." People don't like that. I think Mindy and Amy and a few others particularly irk people because they are in the smart and talented category and so there is some whiplash with the abrupt turn of being like, "turns out! I really derive joy and happiness from being as f***able and thin as possible. It's on the OUTSIDE that matters!" I've never been above a size 2 in my life for what it's worth before you come at me but that's my read. |
These has-been celebs like Mindy are addicted to social media just like every other random person and SAHM. The avg celeb does literally nothing all day, so of course they’re doom scrolling and reading comments and googling themselves. |
