Systems Change by Donella Meadows: for those of us who everyday human action and behaviour threaten our optimism and learning not to lean into pessimism but always staying empowered. Empowered in all aspects of our lives. My opinion , it starts with self.

You mention that it's possible without injectibles, but didn't mention that you used a gastric balloon, until someone else brought it up. I think in such topics it's wise to be transparent, not every viewer is aware of the journey.

This! And I’m glad it’s coming from a man. Of all the genuine and valid critique y’all have for Jules we can’t pretend that weight wasn’t wielded against some from a very young age. But again it’s the same “kids” who just grew up 🌝
I share similar experiences. When you're big as a kid everyone mentions it repeatedly.
That's the part I emphasize with Jules about trying to lose weight since 8 years old.
We can criticize marketing GLP use for beauty standards with discrediting real life experiences.

As a “bigger”, very active child…. Anyway tufatties to the side 🤣 We can acknowledge the failures of medicating for weight loss without discrediting experiences that scarred some and the associated bullying, complexes.

The myth rests on one lazy assumption: that obesity is the only visible sign of metabolic disease, so if you look slim, you must be fine. That thinking delays diagnosis, shames women out of clinics, and hands the conversation to people who have never read a blood panel.

Stop policing which bodies "deserve" treatment. Metabolic disease, PCOS, fibroids, endometriosis & connective tissue disorders affect African women of every size. We're already under-researched & under-diagnosed. Shame doesn't make anyone healthier. Accurate info & access do.

Telling someone who used GLP-1 to just lifting weights is a wild take. Or saying being skinny and relating to fat people as being similar to not being black and racism. Like that post needs to be deleted. It’s a downward slope.

It’s not possible to have a conversation about GLP-1s without dissecting the complexity of it being globally tauted as the biggest pharmaceutical invention since penicillin with the commercial success and infamy of Viagra and what that means in relation to late stage capitalism.

Theres something we may have missed and I think its important in looking at how it impacted how we see ourselves. Millenial babes who went to the top private schools in the 90’s and early 2000’s. The content we consumed about girlhood was decidedly veery white and veeeery thin.
