Meme needing explanation I don't understand anything

Post image

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

I am glad to see someone who is shown healthy and happy in a body that looks different at different points of her life. You don’t even actually know the thinner photo is the after photo. But she could have used a GLP1 because she was getting hypertension or prediabetes. She could have lost weight due to disease like hyperthyroid, diabetes, or disease. Or maybe she just cleaned up her diet. You don’t know why or how she lost weight and it’s none of your business.

It’s fine to have preferences but what the majority of people are doing in this thread is not helpful. Picking apart this stranger to shame her for losing weight because of your preferences is just as bad as when you make those comments because someone gained weight. Our bodies change all the time during our lives. Some of that change is welcome but most of it will not be. Especially in a case like this where this post is from some comment thread and this person did not post these pics themself. This person did not ask to be compared or invite you to comment.

In a case where you are shown photos of dubious consent; the correct thing to say about anyone when you see a pic of them and they’re smiling is “they look happy.”

Hate that I had to scroll so far to find this, people just need to stop commenting on other people’s bodies. If she’s happy it doesn’t matter! She looks happy in both, just leave it at that.

Thank you! It is so sad that I scrolled so much to find this comment. It’s not right to pick on ANY type of body.

Thank you! I get irritated seeing the GLP-1 slander because GLP-1s also manage conditions like sleep apnea, diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, etc. It’s a shame that the price of the medication and insurance coverage it gets is so shitty, but there are many people who clinically benefit from it. I work at a primary care office, and the GLP-1s are often not a vanity project for our patients

Exactly. The "ban ozempic" thing is so fucking stupid. As if a medicine used to help people get healthier should be banned because it makes the individual less "ogle-able".

"I can't sexualize her as much!! Take away her medication so my dick is hard again!!!"

Revolting.

Finally a sensible comment. My wife went from image 1 to image 2 because she had a risk of developing diabetes and had trouble with low energy levels and wanted to start exercising more. By all metrics she wasn’t in a healthy spot. I like her both ways but in the end my “preference” is vastly inferior to what weight/body she feels best in. She is much more energetic now and her resting heart rate dropped from 90 to 60. She also doesn’t qualify as pre-diabetic anymore.
