Celebrities and their bullshit have helped make it this thing where anybody who loses weight is suspected of secretly using Ozempic like it's something to be ashamed of.
Oprah is the worst. She announced that she'd never take Ozempic because it's "the easy way out". Then she suddenly lost a lot of weight, showed up on a red carpet all "ta-da look at me in this dress!" And then as soon as her sponsor, Weight Watchers, pivoted to Ozempic distribution, she admitted she takes it and started shilling for it.
Rebel Wilson lost her weight in 2020 prior to the Ozempic boom and her reported methods were realistic (eating 1,500 calories a day and walking for 60 minutes 5-6 days per week). Her regain is also realistic.
I've been losing weight for a year and half (115 pounds lost, no Ozempic, not that there's anything wrong with that!). So I've been frequenting weight loss subs on Reddit, primarily looking for meal ideas. I had no idea how prevalent stress-eating, comfort-eating and binge-eating are. They are serious problems for so many people. It's a mental health problem that really needs more attention! There are a lot of resources for people with the official ED's, but I have no idea what advice there even is for comfort-eating. "Try therapy"? The only advice anybody gets on Reddit is how to reduce calories.
Anyway, for her to backslide a bit due and say it was due to stress-eating as comfort-eating is realistic to me.
It seems the problem with Ozempic is that it kills your appetite while you are on it and you don't need to address your eating habits. But once you've lost weight and need to come off it, unless you have brand new eating habits in place, you'll immediately gain back what you lost.
