You're right on the pretentious . There was a time when she couldn't or wouldn't stop trying to find a way to inform that she went to Dartmouth. So cringe and yet so unsurprising. The gatekeepers will scream racism but that disposition of hers is so on-brand for her cultural background .

Nope not racist at all.

If the shoe fits .

Who the hell cares if she took a weight loss drug to help her with weight loss? Seriously. The pharmaceutical industry will make more. (Hello?? $$$)

People are acting like obesity isn't a medical condition with MANY negative repercussions. Why should people wait until they become diabetic to get help? I cannot understand the backlash for the life of me.

Pictures of from Oct 2022 show that she looks to have lost a good amount of weight but she still has the same curves. She's about back to where she was in her early 30s. She may have done this with weight loss drugs (not unlikely) but it's not as dramatic a transformation as it appears. She's just really good at posing and dressing in a way that accentuates her figure.

The US magazine is from Sept. In the Life and Style link, in the photos from Nov and Dec, she is noticeably much thinner.

She may have diabetes / pre-diabetes and a medical need for the drugs.

So basically, overweight people have to either be a) bitter and hypocritical or b) openly hate themselves? No other options?

Who said anything about hating themselves ? Wrapping yourselves under the body positivity umbrella and acting as if decades of verifiable science showing the nefarious effects of excess weight on one's health should be ignored because 'you love yourself ' . Weird take .

Wonder if you feel the same about any of your own unhealthy conditions ... drinking? not getting enough exercise? driving in a car? spending too much time online ...? we do MANY things that are unhealthy; but typically weight is the only thing that people like you feel the need to rub other's faces into. Also if you knew anything, you'd know that it is physiologically very hard to lose weight for most people. So may as well be positive about the body you have. Insisting that people be vocally negative about unchangeable aspects of their lives is ... not really a bona fide attempt to do anything about improving physical or mental fitness.

PS the healthiest BMI is overweight.

Nah. If you see one of the pictures you can also see her reflection in the mirror. She still has the curves.

She didn't use weight loss medication, she has a trainer and as someone mentioned has prioritized her health since having her second child.

Just because someone has the means to lose weight and look amazing doesn't mean they used some miracle weight loss meds. YOU ARE JEALOUS.

And everyone knows DCUMommies are racist and hate south asian women. #sorrynotsorry we're super hot and more successful than you!

Yikes. You have your head in the sand.

You're 100% jealous that she has access to medicine that you can't afford.

DP, but I’m annoyed at her and all the celebrities for their off-label use of a drug directly leading to supply issues for actual patients.

Sure, but it’s not like it’s a life-saving drug. Save your annoyance!

DP. The main medical indication -- not just cosmetic -- for Ozempic/semaglutide is to reduce blood sugar levels in adults with Type II diabetics, and it has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and even death.

We treat adult diabetics at my institution. It can be a game changer for them, and it has few side effects. Alas, we are having trouble treating our patients with this life-saving drug because it is so popular right now.

And how do you know that she doesn’t have blood sugar issues? Have Type II diabetics? You don’t, do you? And above PP is correct, there are about 10 other drugs that do what ozempic does. The manufacturer of ozempic is actively promoting it for weight loss, so if you are unhappy, go talk to them. They’re making plenty of money off ozempic no matter who uses it, for whatever reason.

Unchangeable aspects of their physical fitness ? Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah . Sciences disagrees with you, dear. I suspect but don't affirm that you may be in need to spend a little more time on the treadmill, hence your nefarious defense of nonsense .You can be positive about your body all you want but science doesn't care and the consequences will come due .

I feel sorry for celebrities like Kaling ( though I'm no fan of hers) because a good chunk of their appeal stems from their physical relatability as opposed to their actual work . At 43, if she got tired of the relatable chunky mom act and decided to do what makes her feel good about physically , I'm objective enough to be supportive.

Have you actually watched her shows? She's not even in most of them. They are really good.

I've heard the formula is long established and there are no side effects.

There are lots of side effects. Constipation, acid reflux, etc.

Diabetes is prevalent amongst South Asians. I would not be surprised if she was at risk.

Okay. And nothing I wrote was a criticism of Kaling, intimates that she does (or does not) have a medical indication above and beyond weight loss alone, or in any way was referencing her specific situation in any shape or form. You get that, right?

I was responding to the claim that "it’s not like it’s a life-saving drug." It is, for some. For fewer than it might be, because it is so popular that it is being used for all types of indications, not just the life-saving ones.

That's an observation. Make of it what you will.

(And I do agree with you, by the way -- as it happens.)

Im south asian and 46 and take metformin for prediabetes. Im slim but curvy — a size 4 and 5’4, with boobs. I am genetically predisposed to type 2, and had gestational diabetes requiring insulin. Ive lost some weight on metformin. Probably 10 lbs. enough to make a visible difference and in how clothes fit. Ive lost weight around my belly. I still haven't totally eliminated sugar but try to be more conscious. In 2023, i need to make regular exercise a thing and stop with all the carbs! Im a vegetarian, so wont completely eliminate carbs.

You clearly don’t know any of the science, and you could only dream of a woman as successful and hot as Mindy Kaling (at any weight) even giving you a glance. Loser.
