Sorry…no scolding intended. Just tried to clarify what you said and express my opinion at the same time!And I have a right to express my opinion as well.
I haven’t been scolded that way since 1995

I don't know if she used OZ or similar, there are pics of her working out and admitting she overate and that that was a bad thing and that she has changed her lifestyle. She doesn't owe me or anyone any explanations but being honest would be nice saying something like "hey I wasn't happy where I was weight-wise before, I was being pretty dishonest about it so please ignore all that body-acceptance talk I did because it ISN'T healthy in the long-term".
She had a big girl fashion brand and a big girl TV series. I get that you can change your life.. but it makes all the actions before seem disingenuous (IMO) OR
Like Heather Gay on RHOSL said “body positivity is a lie”

RE: Body Positivity... I feel like she isn’t being disingenuous about it by losing weight. She was very heavy before and it’s not like she’s Kate Moss thin now. She’s still a curvy woman and she can still promote the message. You can still be thick and fit/healthy.
What I’d like to see her do is be a little transparent about her motivation. While she doesn’t owe any explanations, she should feel compelled to talk about what motivated her and use it as a call to action.
I have no problem with people being proud of how they look, whatever their size. But surely at her original weight she was looking at potential health issues if she stayed there. She is in a position to encourage people to consider how their weight and lifestyle might impact their health now and in the future and how to improve their position.

My dad has had his dose cut back to 1/4 because of shortages
Wow, that is totally wrong. I hope supplies can be ramped up.My dad has had his dose cut back to 1/4 because of shortages
Adam Lampert said he couldn't handle the side effects with OZ and switched to Mounjaro and he's super skinny now.
But again, is this for life? Will Lizzo always be injecting or do they have to go off after a while, like Actonel for Osteoporosis. Can't stay on it without a break.

Seems so long as you’re not suffering any major side effects, you can be on it as long as you like. That said, it’s a new drug and, despite all the positive press about it, there’s no way of knowing if there are ramifications for long-term use.
Exactly, clinical trials for the treatment of diabetes with semaglutides ran from 2016 to 2017 but it wasn’t approved by the FDA for weight loss alone until 2021. As with all drugs, you take on a certain level of risk.
I just don’t see any issues with the use of these drugs for weight loss, other than creating shortages for those who need the medications for more serious health conditions. I don’t think anyone owes any explanation as to how they lose weight. Do we get up in arms about Botox, fillers, plastic surgery, Invisalign, or any other procedure or treatment that we use to change or improve our health or appearance? Why do we treat these drugs and the use of them differently? Could it be that the stigma of excess weight is still shameful?
I agree. People take all sorts of paths to lose weight. For those whose weight is a serious health issue, I’m all for whatever will get them to a healthier weight.
I think the stigma comes from people who don’t need to rely on these things to lose weight.
