If Serena Williams needed a GLP1, what hope do I have?

[Anonymous]

I’m maybe 10 lbs overweight, I’d look even better if I lost 15. I’m 5’2”, 43 years old, and no health issues.

I just saw that Serena Williams went on a GLP1 because she wasn’t losing weight. I assume she has the best workouts and nutritionists available. If she couldn’t do it, what hope do us normies have? Should I ask my doctor for it? (I think she went on Ro).

Are you built like she is? Very curvy with a bigger bust, butt, and thighs? That's a tricky body type as you enter menopause because if you add any weight around your middle (as most women do in menopause), you lose your shape entirely. It's just the reality of that body type.

I would also remind yourself that Serena Williams is in the public eye at a very high level, and that she is surrounded by celebrities and the very wealthy. There's way more pressure on her to be thin. She probably gets feedback from stylists, designers, editors, and media people about her size and shape. Whereas in your life, I bet you are the only person who gives a rat's ass about those 10-15 lbs.

Keep in mind that she and her husband have financial connections to the GLP-1 industry.

Yes, her husband is an investor in Ro, and she’s now their spokesperson for the glp-1 meds.

You have no hope. Of course you should ask your doctor for it. If they say no, go online and get it yourself.

You’re being ridiculous.

Tons of people maintain a normal weight.

Serena Williams is taking medication to lose weight because her husband invested in the company. She’s a paid spokesperson.

I don't know anyone who maintains a normal weight without a GLP.

It seems like people who were very athletic as teens end up heavy as adults.

Are you serious?

That said, I don't think Serena Williams *needs* a GLP-1. Plenty of people who don't truly need them use them.

That’s insane. Every single adult in my family is a normal weight. About half my neighbors are too — though I have no idea if they take medication or not. Almost all my friends are a normal weight. It’s really not hard.

I agree op!!! Why is this medication expensive at this point?!?!

It’s for the haves to get thin and avoid diabetes/excess weight/pressure on joints.

And the have-nots to suffer being subject to normal grocery stores where we can hardly resist the marketing of Cheetos, sodas, candy, sugar cereal, ice cream, etc. Even healthier options are expensive. It’s hard to feed a whole family with ideal foods, working and cooking yourself.

So the haves that are already insulated from this marketing more, can avoid stores with end -caps calling out to them, can pay their chefs to cook nutritious foods…. They are able to also change their brain and stomach to get thin, easily, pay to play.

I’m not mad at Serena. I’m mad at corporations.

I won’t even take a new set of family pictures until I lose weight. The last photos were 3 years ago. I won’t do it. I’m the same or worse. I can’t document myself as I am right now.

So you won the genetic lottery in terms of metabolism and have self segregated towards others who are either similarly naturally thin or can afford intervention.

Sadly you seem to lack the mental capacity to realize that your personal experiences aren’t necessarily reflective others’ realities….it seems we all have our shortcomings.
