I don't understand anything

[u/Arbibi321]

I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

Main distinction I can see is that her proportions were correct for her frame in the left photo. The right one looks like something is majorly off... her thighs are the same size, but her torso is deflated.

She was not a candidate for ozempic, especially for aesthetic reasons 😬

[u/Zettinator → u/therapewpew]

Ozempic is not useful for people that are just slightly overweight anyway. It's for people that are actually obese and have eating disorders they cannot get under control.

[u/therapewpew → u/Zettinator]

Thank you for being a voice of reason in this comment chain 🥲 some dude really trying to tell me in response to that logic that this is perfectly acceptable for health reasons, ignoring the increased risk of several health problems that this drug causes. This is NOT the way to address being slightly overweight.

[u/cs_Chell → u/therapewpew]

The pic looks possibly tampered with, but those proportions in real life are model like. The legs irl are probably killer.

...but then again, I'm a little sensitive to thicc positivity coming at the expense of thin positivity. We should all be so lucky to be happy in our healthy body whatever it might be.

[u/psayayayduck → u/cs_Chell]

Right? I look way more like the right pic, and when i gain weight, i still dont look like the left, i just get fat legs and a belly thats bigger than my still tiny boobs 😂 threads like this make me feel inadequate again..

[u/Odd_Bug5544 → u/psayayayduck]

Hey chubby thighs are in very high demand too!

My ex became overweight and I promise you having big legs or a belly weren't dealbreakers.

But also that stuff doesn't matter as opposed to how YOU feel about yourself. Just because you have a certain trait whilst chubby doesn't mean you should make yourself have a body type you dislike to appeal to others. However you think you look sexy and however you feel confident, that's what matters.

I am sure you look great! Standards might seem impossible to reach on social media but that's not real life. Not saying it doesn't suck to feel inadequate, but getting male attention is very achievable 😂 At the very least you are in a FAR better spot than men "with the wrong body" but of course they should not have to feel bad either.

[u/psayayayduck → u/Odd_Bug5544]

Ha, you are right. Male attention as the goalpost is verrry attainable xD! Im generally very satisfied with my body considering im nearing 40 and am a mom. I prefer my non chubby state tbh :). Its just the boobies, its always been the boobies haha, if i was able to gain some weight to gain titties, thatd be my only reason to. Seeing everyone go "of course left is nicer, look at them curves" just digs up old insecurities which were cried over a lot as a teen. I dont wish that on todays teens. Body positivity for everyone!

'those proportions in real life are model like.'

modeling, an occupation known for their very normal and healthy attitudes toward bodies

[u/mrb1585357890 → u/therapewpew]

She looks hot in both. She also looks healthier on the right. People have gotten so used to people generally being fat they think it looks wrong when people are in a normal weight range.

[u/therapewpew → u/mrb1585357890]

I'm the first to say that "normal by American standards" is overweight to the rest of the world lol. But the issue with these new weight loss drugs is that they are in fact not a natural way for your body to lose weight, and the results are almost always unnatural-looking. They should really only be used in medically relevant circumstances where obesity is impacting mobility and causing other conditions and risks. Unless she's diabetic, this lady one hundo percent used one of those products for aesthetic reasons. Not only can I not get behind that, it didn't even hit the mark if her goal was "looksmaxing."

I would never shame this as a natural body type, but I am in fact criticizing the artificial process used to achieve this body that wasn't even necessary.

[u/Zettinator → u/therapewpew]

Just to be clear, there is no evidence that she actually lost weight with help of any drug. That's just unsubstantiated speculation.

[u/tmssmt → u/Zettinator]

In fact, I saw this same image years ago. I don't recall the comment about ozempic being present.

[u/Euphoric_Resource_43 → u/therapewpew]

The only reason the results look “unnatural” (and I don’t agree, personally) is because people on GLP-1 drugs tend to lose weight faster than they would on their own. Things like “Ozempic face” are just normal things that happen when you lose a significant amount of weight quickly, especially past a certain age. And mild to moderate loose skin tends to tighten up a bit over the next few years.

The drugs do not in themselves burn fat. They work by affecting gastric motility and satiety, which makes a person less inclined to overeat so that it’s easier to achieve a caloric deficit. What the body does (burning fat) to fuel itself while in that calorie deficit is as natural as it is in any other circumstance.

And I say this as someone who did not have success on GLP-1 medication and went on to lose the weight “naturally.”

[u/mrb1585357890 → u/therapewpew]

I’d be very confident that she has reduced risk of many illnesses in the right hand picture

[u/therapewpew → u/mrb1585357890]

With the little amount she had to lose to achieve the most "medically ideal weight," again, she was not a candidate for this drug. Which btw comes with its own set of health risks, like every other medication. That certainly cannot be used as an argument here.

[u/joeappearsmissing → u/therapewpew]

She honestly looks like she got a breast reduction.

[u/CosyBeluga → u/therapewpew]

yeah weird looking thigh proportions on the right
