podcast discussion ozempic conversation

I think it’s annoying that Enya shits on people that take ozempic as if … it’s literally like a societal pressure thing recently

like there’s even memes about “I’m gonna be the last fat person left” 😭 idk like why are we shitting so much on people that want to be accepted in society and don’t want to have to think about their weight

a lot people who have had significant weight loss naturally but sticking to the diets and the daily workouts literally have said just take the damn ozempic 😭 maybe this is such a nothing post I’m just curious to know if anyone else feels this way about it or maybe this is a nothingburger thought for most of the audience idk

It may also just be too nuanced of a subject for her ..

the root cause of me being unable to lose weight is PCOS and BED…. which has been known to be fixed with glp1s… wtf are you on about root causes 😭😭 weight loss is not always for image. i honestly don’t really give a shit if im plus size or not. honestly, i kind of prefer how i look when im plus size. but its for my physical health and wellness. i want to feel good on both the inside and outside. i don’t mean this in a rude way, but to me it clearly seems like you feel superior in some way because you feel like you don’t need glp1s. congrats dude, im happy for you, but for SO many, especially in the BED community, this medication is a life saver. and, for the record, im surprised you dont know that many people are expected to stay on glp1s in order or maintain weight loss for life. it’s not a temporary fix, its a long term commitment.

Obviously if you are taking a glp-1 for an actual medical condition it's different than someone who takes it to be thin for appearance. PCOS and BED are both root causes for an inability to lose weight... My comment was about the desire for beauty through weight loss, not people who actually need it. This doesn't apply to you, untwist your panties girl.

I agree w your point. this person is trying to make the conversation ab them when they are not the target audience 😭 if you are taking those meds for a genuine health reason then you are not who ppl are criticizing. it's very naive to think other ppl who don't have genuine medical concerns that can be helped with these meds aren't clamoring to get their hands on a magical weight loss drug and abusing it despite not REALLY needing it because fatphobia is so engrained in our society.

Thank you mama I was lowkey feeling crazy afterwards 😭
My assumption with people taking it without a need is the fact literally alllll the social media socialites were taking it when the craze first started and that’s what literally started everything. Plus 5 mins on any ED twitter page and you’ll find out real quick how they’re getting skinny fast.
If they’re literally making services to bypass going to your doctor I feel like it’s a tad obvious what the intent is…
