If a celeb isn’t promoting anything, then their personal life is their own thing. But, when a celeb draws attention to their weight loss, calls the loss one thing but it’s another, or promotes a solution contrary to their own, transparency is required.

If it's just "well I'm trying to lose weight" then eh, I don't care. We all know.

Just don't try and advertise or sell some kind of supplement, false diet and exercise plan, or program. That shit pisses me off.

I am annoyed in that that I am trying to lose weight the old fashioned way and if I do, I wonder will folks quietly assume I took a drug? I'm proud of my routine right now and would like some genuine compliments when it starts paying off!

I have seriously mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, your hard work is bringing you a result you like and pride in your discipline, and I think it would be perfectly appropriate for you to get compliments for those things. (Well done, btw!)

On the other hand, I think there are folks who believe that weight loss somehow doesn't count or is less helpful to the person losing weight if there isn't suffering involved. Attaching virtue to weight is hugely problematic. Only after my wife started taking these medications did she realize just how different a body's signals could be surrounding food and hunger. I wasn't disciplined and she wasn't weak. My body and mind just send me wildly different signals about food than hers does in the absence of medication. The insistent demands her body was making were feeble requests in my body. With the medications, it's an entirely different playing field and has nothing to do with discipline or virtue.

I think a variant of this - as long as they keep their mouth shut about how they lost weight, then I have no issues. It’s the lie of omission that bothers me.
