And I'm not alone in this. Yes. And I'm tired of people shaming me for being on a Zempik or being on another GLP-1 medication. So it's been kind of a whirlwind since we last chatted.

People want this time to be different. Like I said before, I know how to lose weight. I didn't know how to sustain it because often when I was losing weight, I would feel that I was starving myself. I wasn't giving myself the right nutrients. I wasn't allowing myself to have a piece of my daughter's birthday cake at her party because if I ate carbohydrates, I was going to gain weight.

And so this time around, people want to know how to do it differently. So they might be on a GLP-1 medication, or maybe they're not yet, or they're thinking about it, but they want to know, how can I heal my relationship with food? How can I heal my relationship with my body? It goes so beyond the exercise regimen and the diet changes, but how can I really heal

Oh, my gosh. It's all day long, unfortunately, on social media platforms. People continue to say you're lazy if you're on a GLP-1 medication. You're lacking motivation. You should just be able to go to the gym. It's only for diabetes. You shouldn't take it if it's for weight loss.

Uh, you know, I think people just assume that GLP-1 medications, often they'll just phrase it as, well, all it does is make you starve yourself. That's all it does. There's not more to it. And when you get off the medication, you're going to gain all the weight right back. And, uh...

I mean, so much shaming around these meds to the point of your face looks a certain way if you're on these medications or your body looks a certain way.

Yeah, exactly. I'm told I have ozempic face and ozempic butt. And in reality, it's just blue skin from significant weight loss. It has nothing to do with the medication. But, you know, medications like ozempic and manjaro are... in my opinion, a perfect sort of scapegoat for the continuation of shaming people in larger bodies. Yeah.

And people ask me all the time how I kind of deal with a lot of the negativity that comes my way. And to me, I mean, so many people, when I talk about food noise or when I talk about obesity being a disease, they're like, I thought I was the only person that had these thoughts up here. And that outweighs the, no pun intended, that outweighs the other stuff, the negativity that comes my way.
