so gross and insidious how the conversation around glp1s co-opts the language of body positivity
using a glp-1 for weight loss is not 'loving yourself'. that's literally marketing and it obviously worked.
unfortunately, these are drugs used experimentally at several times the dose they were created to be used at to increase the side effect of weight loss. it is unknown what effects using these drugs at these doses over long periods of time will do to you. it is honestly wildly irresponsible that it is prescribed in this way and people are assuming it's gonna be safe for you. using a glp-1 is assumed to be the healthy thing to do, so 'loving yourself'. but it's not and these drugs absolutely have significant known risks in addition to potentially long term so far unforeseeable risks.
if you feel you love yourself more on a glp-1, it is likely because we treat fat people like shit and thin people better. the only acceptable fat person is the one that is trying their best not to be fat, so maybe the people around you are treating you better. but it's not the medication. it's attempting to alleviate fatphobia.
