No fault of hers. I do think it’s weird how vocal she is about eating smaller portions, but Hollywood and media made such a big deal about her size for so long, I’m sure they did a number on her as well.


Either impressing BJ Novak still or her upbringing, who cares. She can do what she wants. She doesn't have to include us.

GLP-1 is not the only game in town.


People get facelifts to cure Ozempic face.


They do, but that often looks worse or equally bad. You need to do facial exercises to tone the face muscles when you lose that much facial fat that quickly. People think facercise is ridiculous but it works.

The only reason she doesn’t have the GLP-1 face is because she’s brown, not white.


Are you blind? She has the face. Everyone on these meds gets that face. All. Of. Them.

This could be the case for many people generally but...not Mindy lol. Mindy isn't sick, she's working through her insecurities and trying to be an influencer thirst trap in het 40s now that she has money and influence and wants the final approval of being hot and sexually desirable, something she has never experienced. That is ABUNDANTLY clear if you know anything about her at all.


And that is threatening to you why?


Oh, I don't find it threatening in the slightest lol. I find it mildly pathetic because I like strong women and like her work generally, it's just a little sad to see someone who has worked hard, fought stereotypes in Hollywood and generally been extremely successful decide the next decade+ is to be dedicated to recouping the "hot 20s" she never had by embracing disordered eating and hawking laxatives and enemas (literally...anything including those things). It's like if Chtistine Lagarde decided her next chapter in life was to Lauren Sanchez herself and make it into Sports Illustrated while pulling cash from Only Fans subscriptions. It's trashy and off putting. It is NOT "threatening."


We equate weight loss and thinness with being hot in our society, but that’s not really Mindy‘s fault. I believe her when she said she had diabetes in her family and also being heavy is I imagine not fun on your joints and stuff as you age and enter perimenopause, which is an inflammatory state to begin with. Being overweight inflames your body so that’s not a great combination.

There are actually health benefits, so I don’t judge her for taking the medication.


Mindy was not heavy enough that it was a strain on her joints! She was regular sized woman.


DP. She was quite overweight.


Her head looks disproporionately large.


This is the case with most celebrities/actors. Larger heads seem to be preferred.

The thing is most people on GLP1s actually do ear smaller portions. The drugs get rid of “food noise” and make you feel much fuller than normal. So she’s not really lying about that. She just might be leaving off that she’s taking medication to help her with that.

IDK. I just wish we could stop asking women about their bodies and weight loss or gain.

That when you start looking sick. They lose too much fat, and they don't build any real fitness. They end up looking fragile.


Yes, but you can adjust the dosage to help with that. Mindy probably needs to taper to a lower dosage. Or, switch out her running habit for lifting heavy weights.

You might, but somebody just up the thread was lumping her in with Amy Schumer, who’s been very honest about her weight loss journey, and her use of GLP medications. she was even honest about starting one that didn’t even have her lose weight because the side effects were so bad she had to stop. She absolutely didn’t have to tell anyone that, but she did. And then when she found another combination that worked, she was honest about that, and GASP dared to post that she felt good and liked the way she looked.

Women can’t win. We actually hate them when they’re overweight, but somehow we hate them even more when they lose the weight.


Nobody “hates” anybody.

Just hypocrisy getting called out.


Nope, definitely a twinge of hatred mixed in.

I’m South Asian and I very much developed Ozempic face. I take the medication to manage diabetes so it’s a trade off I’m willing to make.

Is Michelle Obama on GLP-1? She doesn’t look good with her lower weight (imo) and I have a hard time accepting ‘strong women’ who seem to be caving to the beauty standard of being thin.
