[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She 100% is on a glp-1. Along with former chubbier celebs like Megan Trainor and Amy Schumer.  All these women who once claimed to love their bodies how they were, have jumped on the glp-1 train because it’s easy to be skinny this way vs the old school methods.  It’s silly to say  they lost the lbs any other way. Half of Hollywood is on it, including celebs like Mandy Moore and Emma Stone who never should have been on it in the first place. [/quote]

I haven’t seen Emma, but Mandy Moore looks awful. She was so beautiful. Megan and Amy needed it but they are still unattractive.[/quote]

I don't understand the criticism that "chubbier celebs who once claimed to love their bodies" are now skinny. First, if a medical intervention becomes widely available, why not? Second, what's the alternative? Openly hating your body? These celebrities are criticized for their looks, and they're supposed to just agree, yeah, I hate myself? Of course not. So they take the tactic that yeah, I love my body, because what's the alternative? Then an alternative presents itself and they're criticized for that too.

I just don't get it. How about we not criticize (99.99%) female bodies, so that they don't have to, under any circumstances, defend how they feel about themselves at any point in time, at any weight? How about that?[/quote]

100% and people are misunderstanding the body positivity movement. It’s not about saying I’m fat and I love it. It’s about appreciating and learning to love your body at any size. It’s perfectly valid to say, I’m not the weight that I want to be right now and I’m going to try to lose weight, but in the meantime, I’m going to  buy clothes that fit me and look cute on me now.

It doesn’t mean that you have to not change your body or lose weight. That’s like saying people are disingenuous because they loved how they look at 25 but now that they’re 50 they can’t possibly love how they look because you either like how you look when you’re younger or you like how you look when you’re older, but you can’t do both. It makes no sense.[/quote]

Uh, no they actively demanded everyone accept them as fit and healthy. Now they are all on GLP1 for "health reasons". The fit, fat and healthy was always a lie.[/quote]

I don’t see it as a lie. We have mountains of evidence that’s it’s really tough to lose weight long term. So some people who are overweight might be trying to be as healthy as possible. There is nothing wrong with that.

Now that we have accessible (to many people) medications, the landscape is shifting.

It is not rocket science people. I don’t get the bitterness. If you are heavy and you eager to lose weight talk to your dr. and see if there is a medication that could help. [/quote]

It’s not bitterness at all. We knew all along they were full of it. Gaslighting people is never a good idea though.[/quote]

But it is bitterness. If you think a celebrity is gaslighting you because you don’t have up-to-date information on what medication’s they’re taking, you have a real problem. Maybe try quitting having parasocial relationship with celebrities and expecting them to solve your problems for you.

Mindy Kaling owes you nothing - absolutely nothing. Deal with it.[/quote]
 
I kind of agree with you but I remember when Star Jones lost weight and talked about pilates I believed her and worked out like a maniac including pilates and my weight never budged. I hated the lies. [/quote]

Pushing lies is bizarre and predatory. We know models don’t just eat whatever they want in moderation. They chain smoke and sleep all day. But people try to follow them and end up feeling worse about themselves.[/quote]

People need to have common sense and know that celebrities lie about how they achieve their looks and their instagrammable "perfect" life. They have personal trainers, chefs, stylists, nannies, assistants, plastic surgeons on speed dial, tell the paps when and where to take pictures of them, get lots of injections, and ingest substances. Honestly, this kind of artificial life is not appealing. You can gawk at it from afar without letting it get to you.[/quote]
