Alex’s absolute refusal to consider any good in the use of GLP1s is getting quite a lot of backlash on her Weight Watchers post. I get her point that they mean diet culture hasn’t gone anywhere but it’s an odd segway into attacking them.
I kinda get where she's coming from. About a year or so ago when ozempic etc started to be spoken about I thought it was amazing for people like myself with pcos and who struggle but now it's become so accessible I find nearly everyone is on it. Every single conversation is about how much they've lost , how good they look etc it's like ve been transported back into the early 00s
I have no interest in speaking to people about how many lbs they weigh or have lost or that they haven't eaten all day.
I enjoyed the bopo phase were these conversations pissed off and people weren't so obsessed with everything weight.
I've witnessed people just using it as another diet , like back in the day you'd be like oh I'm back in ww, now people are taking it losing weight , stopping for holidays or for a few weeks then going back on it to lose the weight they've put on. It defeats the purpose of it people are back yo yo dieting but it's just been made easier
So for Alex who had an eating disorder I can see why she is so against this, because every conversation seems to have gone back to weightloss again
