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]

Again, no. It’s more schadenfreude. I don’t even follow mindy just laughing at all the former heavy ladies succumbing to their own pathetic vanity. [/quote]

Meh, I’m sure “vanity” is a part of it (you say it like its a bad thing, but I’m going to assume you look at the mirror before you leave the house? Pay some attention to your appearance some of the time? Guess you can call it pathetic vanity but most people just do this) but ignoring the health benefits is just silly and ignorant.

This thread is wild. I’m grateful I don’t feel this way about other women. Sounds exhausting. [/quote]

You're not sure if vanity is a bad thing? Ok. We are all vain sometimes, but someone more humble, relatable, and less full of herself might admit it. Say "I'd hate to feel like I needed to get a facelift someday but that's the world we live in" but Rosie instead said she would never, ever do that and it's a slap in the face to feminism. Ok. Nobody forced Rosie to say that, but she did, and then went ahead and got one anyway.

It's the same with the weight loss. Instead of admitting it's vanity they say "health reasons" or pretend they just discovered walking and smaller portions and it's definitely not drugs. Why lie?[/quote]

I don’t know the Rosie O’Donnell situation, this is a thread about Mindy.

But no I don’t think it’s vain to want to look better and I feel like we give women enough shame - if they’re not walking around every day, feeling absolutely great we shame them. if they dare to say they feel good about themselves and then change their appearance in any way we shame them. By the way, body positivity is a term that is never used when talking about men.

So no I wasn’t saying vanity was good, I was saying what you characterize to be vanity deserves a lot less judgment. But hey, you need to move around the world however you need to move around the world and that’s your business. I just personally am not going to shame women for changing their minds about their body, or not being body positive all the time whatever the hell that means. YMMV. [/quote]

Well, if you come out swinging against women and shaming them for being anti-feminist for procedures, and then you do that very thing you deserve the shame and scorn that come your way. These celebs should just say very little or leave it at "to each their own". Which is exactly what Rosie didn't do. Or in some cases they just tell flat out lies about their weight loss such as weird diets, exercise they didn't do, and drugs they claim not to take. People who blatantly lie to the public don't get a pass. It's very easy to say nothing or be honest but lying isn't the way.[/quote]

Why do you think any of these people owe the public anything? I guarantee that O'Donnell and Kaling don't spare a moment thinking of you.[/quote]

Dumbest comment in this thread. [/quote]

I agree with the tone of it. Celebrities want to be talked about, and the more you yap about them the more power they have over you. Just disengage from the phony ones, such as the topic of this thread.[/quote]

Mindy has no power over me whatsoever. I've never even checked out her social media. She's one of a dozen celebrities in the same boat though worth discussing.[/quote]
