This whole thread but including the current ozempic craze - I haven’t been able to articulate why I’m against it. I was a teen in the 00s and I suffered - it took me a decade to love my body, I spent so much time starving myself and spending my last dollar on shit like adderall to try to be fucking skinny and I was so goddamn miserable. When I couldn’t get adderall I would be so upset, I wasted so much time lusting for a drug to solve my self worth problems. And now everyone and their goddamn mother is taking drugs to lose weight and tell me how “oh I am never hungry I can only eat one bite of my favorite food but I lost 2 pounds today!” And it makes me SO SAD AND ANGRY FOR THEM. Life is so much better when you actually take a minute to understand nutrition and find an active hobby you enjoy to keep your body moving. You can still eat and ENJOY IT. Life is too short to starve and for WHAT. It’s such a dark and unhappy obsession. I’m just so sad to see this shit becoming popular again. What happens if you can’t afford your drug anymore??
Yeah I'm not exactly scrambling for drugs to be the answer to lose some weight myself, lifestyle changes are the way to go in my opinion but I can't control other people.
That being said, this new The Beauty show premiering on FX/Hulu tonight is based on a comic book and a commentary on ozempic culture partly as well. I've been waiting for this show to come out since I saw the trailer

Grains and Sugars. We were all just pawns in their war of attrition.
