Maybe she has done with solely with clean living and cutting out alcohol, and if so, more power to her but if I was a betting woman I'd place my entire 401K on Sarah has been going hard with $1500 a month insulin blocking shots.

If she is, why can't she just admit it? Her brand if all about authenticity, right? She's the dearest of the dearest and most preciously true voice in the world, right? Or is she just another big phony?

I do want to say, I’m 46 and have lost 40 lbs and transformed my whole body this last year. I did it with mindful eating, heavy weight training and no alcohol. It sucks to lose weight the hard way in the age of ozempic, because people immediately assume it’s that. “You’re so skinny all of a sudden!” No actually it’s taken 12 whole months and a lot of discipline.

Good for you!

I don't know what the odds are on her honesty because she was so vague she really could have meant anything. She's struggled with chronic pain and health conditions and is clearly under the care of a doctor; maybe certain medications were a part of her initial weight gain or recent weight loss and she is lumping all that medical care into "nourishing herself". Everyone eats some food and that provides nourishment to our bodies. It's not a real explanation for weight loss. I don't know that she owes us one...does she need to admit that she used Ozempic if asked? Does that need to be public knowledge? She didn't say "I lost weight through diet and exercise and hard work" she just side-stepped.

Jen is being invited by “Oprah’s team” to talk about weight shame and body health.

Will Ozempic be mentioned??

Sarah was obese for years and years. I've been aware of her since before Jesus Feminist (tried to read but it was pointless), when she was a young mom with multiple kids (one born in a parking garage- that was one of her better pieces of writing). I figured she was always heavier due to multiple births pretty quickly, plus a sedentary career. It happens. The, within the span of a couple months, she is no longer obese but abruptly normal weight. And giddy. She actually looks relieved to no longer be one of the bigger gals in the room (like with the internet besties.) But now, she is gaunt and it shows up badly in her (pretty) face. For a woman who prides herself on candid writing about heady topics, this silence is suspicious.

They are really scraping the bottom for content on this topic. Jen's best writing doesn't center around body health, but about relationships.

Sass needs some Ozempic. He hasn't looked well since they started claiming to be an item.

I don't disagree, it's suspicious. She is much thinner than ever before and seems very happy about it. I guess I don't feel like she owes an explanation, but I assume there was something very drastic/medical involved.

I almost had a child born in a parking lot and I really loved her writing on that. I really enjoyed her previous mom content and it was hard to stay engaged when she stopped sharing about her kids, although I think it was the right thing to do and I respect the choice. I stopped following her a year or two ago when it was all chronic pain and darkness after the loss of RHE. I felt for her but I wasn't getting anything from her content/writing for a long time. I did like Out of Sorts but I don't remember what I liked about it.

She is getting reamed in the comments due to the WW affiliation. I'm 54 and remember Oprah's heyday- is she just no longer relevant to public discourse? Or, even worse, viewed as a hypocrite for using Ozempic and still promoting WW?

I don't think the two are mutually exclusive: WW is a great approach to get an idea of eating healthily....fill up on nutritious items and make space for beloved treats. The Points system was a good one.

Wait, she went and deleted every post on her insta from before the weight loss - what the heck? Where is the knitting content? Is this just a PR rebrand? Kind of sad imo

[Anonymous]

When someone constantly states loudly how “authenticity” is their brand you can pretty much safely assume they are among the most inauthentic people in the world.

[Anonymous]

I guess she had to delete the knitting with the pre-weight loss pics as not to raise suspicion. The knitting photos were a sneaky ask for compliments, though.
What’s strange is that unlike Jen, Sarah is in what looks like a happy marriage to a supportive, loving husband. So why does she seek all the head pats? Does she have no peace?

This woman who got an obvious and poorly done tummy tuck and then gaslit her corn eaters into believing it was due to walking and eating vegetables.

Grift grift grift.

100% THIS!
You don’t get to complain about perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards AFTER having plastic surgery.

Now a normal person would be mortified beyond belief to be asked to speak about body wellness and body image “health” if they had the obvious work done that Jen has.

But Jen? Nope.

Oprah is a goddess and the greatest woman of all women and she called for Jen, or her team did, so no shame or embarrassment whatsoever.

Cause Jen is an expert on all the things.

I am quite surprised by the level of outrage and disappointment in the comments. they are actually the most interesting comments. I have read on her Instagram in a long, long time. Now, Jen is absolutely backpedaling because of the well-articulated protestations addressed to her.
