I HEAR you here big time. There have got to be nasty side effects lurking with this Ozempic craze, but in the mean time it is rough seeing everyone shrink. I am also outwardly repulsed and ultimately jealous.
Additionally, the Caroline Calloway of it all - I'm always just about to unfollow her for good, but I can't stop buying her books. Because it'll be years before I see a tracking number, I feel like I have to keep eyes on the situation.
I know people who use Ozempic and don't lose weight. I worked as a physician for twenty-seven years. When someone carries extra weight, it's usually because they are insulin resistant.
After considering Ozempic, I looked at natural options. I"m using organic Chlorella powder. It only takes 1/2 teaspoon a day to do what I need it to do. And it's inexpensive.
I agree that it's aggravating to see super skinny people who take Ozempic to lose weight. If they stop the injections, they will regain those pounds. The reason Ozempic works on some people is it's a drug that regulates blood sugar. Control blood sugar and you have won half the battle.
I felt this so much. I’ve struggled with my weight for so long. I ditched WW a few years ago after I found myself obsessing with the points and beating myself up if I went over. I’m in my late 40s now and struggling with losing weight in general because of peri-menopause. I’m also at the point in my life where I finally get why women throw their hands up and just say “fuck it. I don’t care.” I’m “almost” to that point 😂 💕
Yesterday I saw someone at work who I haven't seen in a while (and who told me she is doing Ozempic) and man she is so skinny now. I couldn't stop thinking about your piece because my first reaction was jealousy. What a wild time.
Weight is such a nuanced subject, but I really wish we would move past it. I lost 30kgs this last year for health reasons, but I’m still probably considered plus size. I’m tall and big boned, is just what it is. All three of my coworkers are skinny and always have been, and yesterday one of them was bragging about how they only ate 1000 calories a day. I normally don’t engage with weight talk at work, but I couldn’t keep the horror out of my face when she said that. That’s borderline an ED and nothing to brag about. The yo-yo diets and the “I’m gonna get so fat if I eat this chocolate cake” comments are really starting to get to me. And me pointing out that you don’t need to earn your food and there are no good foods or bad foods is just gonna fall on deaf ears. I just hate it here.
According to the BMI charts, I’d only be a “healthy weight” if I weighed that I did as an 8 year old! Nothing worse than skinny bitches talking about fat and weight! Sending you love 🩷
Oh I watched the Caroline saga unfold IRL and it was magnificent. If you live for influencer scandals look up Belle Gibson. Aussie wellness influencer who lied about having cancer. Epic. In that note being Australian, recreational (or easy access for those who *probably* don't need it) Ozempic isn't a thing here. Yet. But we don't have medical advertising at all - its illegal. And its brilliant.
Second, love your take. I've been on a never-ending loss journey and it's so frustrating. I got that bitch COVID for the first time (!!!!) in August and lost some (mostly muscle, ugh) and it helped me hit a goal and I felt so sick about being happy over it. Anyway, I keep seeing people taking O and I roll my jealous little eyes and think "yeah, but you'll never get off it..." and then I just skip breakfast and keep counting calories :/
I'm fascinated by CC and hate that I am, but really, people like her are so wild to me. I really wanted to order Scammer because I do want to read it, but like, I'll never actually get mailed a copy right? Like she'll never actually send it to me!! I'm also V perplexed by this new book she's supposedly written or is writing, using Elizabeth Wurtzel's name. Feels weird. Still, fascinating!!
LOL I know right?! I was thrilled it got me past my next goal number but omg, dude. 12/10 do not recommend, it was hell... but I'm down a few pounds so the millennial urge is STRONG to celebrate it 😩 And yeah CC knows how to keep people interested, I have to give her that!!
I love the honesty here! and i totally resonated with some of the points you made. Not to plug myself but I wrote a piece last week on how you can replicate ozempic results naturally which may help! No its not just eat less lol.
I went off on a white chick on here for writing about how she felt so fat and ugly for weighing 122. Literally a grown ass women with 4 kids and thats what she weighs. I was like do you realize how many people would LOVE to be you? a skinny petite white women? and your over here complaining about how the scale doesnt say something lower.
Ive been getting ready for my wedding next month and its been hella motivating. Im just focused on me and feeling and looking my best and grateful I have ass and titties and thighs. Im so done comparing myself to people who hate themselves.

I feel all of this. Thank you for sharing!

Yeah I had a mini menty-b last night because I had friends come out about being on it and how absolutely wonderful their lives are now 🤣

"Maybe I’m cutting off my nose to spite my fat"
That is so damn clever and funny 👏
Haha thank you

I’m jealous that other countries don’t have the insane pharma ads like we do 🥲 and thank you for the drama recs, don’t the rabbit hole I go again
First, love your hair.

You lost weight with Covid?! LUCKY 🤣🙃 and yes the whole second book using a dead author’s name is weirddddd af but also intrigued. Marketing. Genius.

Yeah the jealousy gets to me too 🥲 and I swear I thought about ordering Scammer and then realized I’d get over it before it got delivered to me hahaha
