This is a lot of opinion to have about on what other women with no relation to you think and say. |
Who would have guessed. |
I truly don’t understand lumping Amy into this. She had absolutely been honest about her struggles with weight and feeling good about herself. She had a joke on a stand up special a few years ago about how her arm registers a thought in LA. She’s lauded a stylist she has worked with who has made she and her sister feel better about red carpets as she taught them tips on dressing for their body type. She’s had a TON of health issues she’s been honest about - all inflammatory like endometriosis that was so bad she opted for a hysterectomy before 40, Cushings, and other autoimmune issues. GLP drugs absolutely help with inflammation and obesity is an inflammatory state so that is a twofer for her. She’s been endlessly honest about her journey with the medications. I’m at a loss what she could have done differently. I’m also really confused about this argument about body positivity. Most women are complex and probably at times feel good about themselves when they’re heavy and maybe they found an outfit that works or just in a period of life where they’re feeling OK about it, but then a few months later maybe they feel bad about their weight again. I think it’s absolutely strange to demand that a woman just feel good about herself overweight all the time and if she dares to feel good about it some of the time and then lose weight we criticize her for failing the body positivity movement? That’s a lot of pressure to put on one individual. I see her journey very differently than Mindy who has not admitted to being on meds. But this thread seems to not like what either woman has done publicly. It feels like they can’t win. |
| Take all the drugs and injections she wants, she still has and will always have revolting "big girl" energy. |
Only someone with idiot energy would say this. |
Again, no. It’s more schadenfreude. I don’t even follow mindy just laughing at all the former heavy ladies succumbing to their own pathetic vanity. |
You do eat smaller portions when taking these drugs. She's being truthful. The rest is none of your dam business |
They absolutely could have been on board with body positivity at the time, because they’re preserving their mental health in just a natural way. Why does this offend you? In the moment they feel body positivity is the way to go. Then a medication is available and they choose to lose the weight. Both things can be true at the same time. I agree with a PP that they shouldn’t have to, but it’s not realistic this day and age. Until we stop this culture, the same one that spawned this thread, they can’t win. |
They are all frauds at the end of the day. They know it and we know it. Rosie O'Donnell is in the club too with her new face lift that she swore she would never get. They are all hypocritical frauds. |
You’re just mad they aren’t self-loathing. Stay mad. No one cares. |
Meh, I’m sure “vanity” is a part of it (you say it like its a bad thing, but I’m going to assume you look at the mirror before you leave the house? Pay some attention to your appearance some of the time? Guess you can call it pathetic vanity but most people just do this) but ignoring the health benefits is just silly and ignorant. This thread is wild. I’m grateful I don’t feel this way about other women. Sounds exhausting. |
You're not sure if vanity is a bad thing? Ok. We are all vain sometimes, but someone more humble, relatable, and less full of herself might admit it. Say "I'd hate to feel like I needed to get a facelift someday but that's the world we live in" but Rosie instead said she would never, ever do that and it's a slap in the face to feminism. Ok. Nobody forced Rosie to say that, but she did, and then went ahead and got one anyway. It's the same with the weight loss. Instead of admitting it's vanity they say "health reasons" or pretend they just discovered walking and smaller portions and it's definitely not drugs. Why lie? |
Strange comment from someone who is posting on a thread about a woman who has no relation to you. |
I actually don’t think both things can be true. But more importantly, maybe they should just stop talking about what procedures they will and won’t do. |
I don’t know the Rosie O’Donnell situation, this is a thread about Mindy. But no I don’t think it’s vain to want to look better and I feel like we give women enough shame - if they’re not walking around every day, feeling absolutely great we shame them. if they dare to say they feel good about themselves and then change their appearance in any way we shame them. By the way, body positivity is a term that is never used when talking about men. So no I wasn’t saying vanity was good, I was saying what you characterize to be vanity deserves a lot less judgment. But hey, you need to move around the world however you need to move around the world and that’s your business. I just personally am not going to shame women for changing their minds about their body, or not being body positive all the time whatever the hell that means. YMMV. |
