Right? I don’t get the backlash. Mindy has a ton of successful shows, a net worth well into the tens of millions and counting, and seems to be a great mom to three kids who she has said she feels very lucky to have. She’s always loved fashion and now she probably feels like she can wear some of her favorite designers she couldn’t wear before. It all doesn’t affect me one bit and I’m enjoying her new show running point a lot. Shrug. |

I don't fault her for not sharing how she really lost weight.
But I do commend/appreciate celebrities who are upfront about how they did it. |

Oh, I don't find it threatening in the slightest lol. I find it mildly pathetic because I like strong women and like her work generally, it's just a little sad to see someone who has worked hard, fought stereotypes in Hollywood and generally been extremely successful decide the next decade+ is to be dedicated to recouping the "hot 20s" she never had by embracing disordered eating and hawking laxatives and enemas (literally...anything including those things). It's like if Chtistine Lagarde decided her next chapter in life was to Lauren Sanchez herself and make it into Sports Illustrated while pulling cash from Only Fans subscriptions. It's trashy and off putting. It is NOT "threatening." |

You do seem oddly bothered by it and are projecting a lot. |

We equate weight loss and thinness with being hot in our society, but that’s not really Mindy‘s fault. I believe her when she said she had diabetes in her family and also being heavy is I imagine not fun on your joints and stuff as you age and enter perimenopause, which is an inflammatory state to begin with. Being overweight inflames your body so that’s not a great combination. There are actually health benefits, so I don’t judge her for taking the medication. |

You might, but somebody just up the thread was lumping her in with Amy Schumer, who’s been very honest about her weight loss journey, and her use of GLP medications. she was even honest about starting one that didn’t even have her lose weight because the side effects were so bad she had to stop. She absolutely didn’t have to tell anyone that, but she did. And then when she found another combination that worked, she was honest about that, and GASP dared to post that she felt good and liked the way she looked. Women can’t win. We actually hate them when they’re overweight, but somehow we hate them even more when they lose the weight. |

+1 Very much so. I think she looks great and is clearly happy and successful. Not sure why the PP is so obsessed. |

+1 I would personally love to see Chrissy Metz lose a bunch of weight. None of that is good for her health, and that's an understatement. |

Mindy was not heavy enough that it was a strain on her joints! She was regular sized woman. |

DP. She was quite overweight.

She was definitely heavy enough for it to become a problem with both diabetes and joint pain. And she’s young. Typically people tend to gain as they age. Even losing 10 or 15 pounds can make a huge impact on your joints. acting as if there weren’t health benefits to this is just strange. They’re clearly are. On the other end of the spectrum, do I think she and some other women in Hollywood are forgetting that they need to preserve bone density and things as they age? Absolutely. I hope she does a good strength training program and I hope this extreme loss is temporary while she’s figuring out the medications. But again, I don’t fault her for trying to get control of her weight at this stage in her life. |

Inside and out. She has really dark and sketchy energy. |

| If I were in Mindy’s situation and her size I would also take GLP 1s. I will say that it does show inherent disdain for normies to give explanations of weight loss that are just obviously incomplete. But she’s far from the only celebrity that does that. |

| i’m Indian. my guess is GL-P, but it’s taboo for her to admit since she was trying to be ok with being heavier. So many of us have diabetes, and at much lower weights than other races get it. it’s genetic. i have it and am not fat and exercise. im a toned 138-140, 5’4. i take 1000 mg cb of metformin, but i could take a glp. i’m afraid too. i look good now and as im nearly 50, i dont want to look gaunt. my dr says if my sugar doesn’t stay in an ok range than i should probably do it. i find it relatable that she cant restrict her diet. while i dont eat too much, i too find it very hard to do. |
