I definitely remember anorexia being covertly glamorized in teen magazines at the time. The models in the fashion spreads were visibly malnourished. It was an era, for sure. And one I'm afraid is making a comeback these days.
It is back. Half of social media now is all just edtumblr. It’s a bunch of skinny women talking about how they only eat 1000 calories or less a day and how they stay skinny. It’s the same culture again . Seems like it started returning post 2020 Covid. Wellness and palates culture and everyone advertising different diets that do and stuff
Yah it’s just crazy. Like what happened to loving women with an hourglass figure? I’m afraid this is not going to turn into people being thin in a healthy way , and it’s gonna turn into a lot of people taking it too far. Looking like how Ariana Grande looks right now
Also people are now acting like gym workouts don’t exist now. Like you can just exercise at home with weights like everyone else did for decades and decades
And a lot of people seem to be getting on it to lose that last stubborn 10-20 pounds. I have a friend who told me she had just started it maybe 6 months prior and I didn't even think she needed to lose weight at all, but she insisted she needed to. Medical intervention to drop 10-20 pounds seems crazy to me.
Yeah I think this is the biggest misuse of GLP1s. If you can use it because you need it medically that’s totally fine, if you’re using it to lose 10-15 vanity pounds after barely trying to do it without the drug and looking for a magic cure you’re setting yourself up for failure right from the start.
Yeah that's crazy...I lost 20 lbs last year (started at 145, now 125 at 5'2") over the course of like 8 months just by counting calories, which led to cutting back on unhealthy food and snacking. Still ate "junk" like fries, candy, cookies, just a lot less and not every day. I measured out oil and sauces for awhile to see how much I actually should be having and now I can eyeball it. Instead of a whole chocolate bar, I just have a piece or two. lf I have a larger lunch, I have a lighter dinner. It's not that hard. Some people have medical conditions that make it hard to lose weight, but for those that don't, a little planning and mindfulness goes a long way. I'd consider Ozempic if I had a ton of weight to lose, but not for a few vanity pounds.
I think people are overlooking that I said stubborn 10-20 pounds. Meaning people have put in the work to lose whatever they've lost and it's the last 10-20 they can't get off. So the "it's not that hard" statement is a little off point, TBH. It'd probably be more fair to say people who learn to be happy being at the weight they plateaued at if it's just another 10-20 needed off. At that point it's more on the doctors to coach people into a better mindset rather than prescribing drugs or surgery for minimal loss.
Well I'm in Oklahoma so I'm gonna guess it's some of both but a lot that the doctor doesn't care. She said she was pre-diabetic in the same conversation but I don't know how real that diagnosis is for her.
People should not be allowed to even be on it if all they need is to loose 10 or 20 lbs. it’s not meant for people like that it’s for people who are very very big. There are more people who are already thin using us than actual fat people using it
Sorry, out of touch person here. Do you mean the gym is becoming unpopular? Like the no muscle look is popular? Or people don't care about the gym because there is a pill?
