Why does the "best" version of someone have to = thin? That seems incredibly vain and shallow, doesn't it?

Nah, it's not more shallow than wanting to adhere to any other beauty standard. Do you wear makeup? Dye your hair? Shave your legs?

The fact is, most people consider thinner women more attractive. The vast majority of men do not prefer obese or overweight women.

I hate it when women spend lots of time and money on hair and makeup and somehow feel that's grooming/hygiene but act like weight maintenance is somehow less feminist or more shallow.

I don’t spend that much on hair and makeup either. I use Madison Reed color and get my hair cut 4x a year. I wear tinted moisturizer, light blush, mascara and lipstick. I am who I am. I’m not trying to be something different.

Ok, you do you. I don't color my hair or wear any makeup. I do use semaglutide to maintain the size 4 figure I had before gaining 60 pounds with a twin pregnancy. I don't think using semaglutide to be thin is somehow more shallow or vain than coloring your hair.

And yet one requires a prescription and has a host of known and unknown side effects. All to be a size 4. You can’t even make the argument that is about health. That is about obsession with thinness.

Can this be moved to the health forum? Not sure why it’s in beauty and fashion

NP. If you don’t want judgyness - this isn’t a good place for you. OP’s post pretty much invites judgment.
