Hollywood’s Weight Loss Party Takes RSVP From GLP-1 Drugs, Body Positivity Ghosted
KEY POINTS
- •Psychotherapist Zoë Bisbing warns that lacking body diversity visuals makes our brains think bodies are wrong, fueling insecurity.
- •TikTok creators like Katelyn Baker and Cassandra Cavallaro criticize the banned SkinnyTok trend for turning real bodies into fleeting fads.
- •Drugs like GLP-1s widen social divisions, offering medical weight loss to the affluent while others rely on body positivity as a last resort.
In a plot twist juicier than a TikTok skincare hack, body positivity warriors like Zoë Bisbing and @thatfatdoctor Katelyn Baker are lamenting a ‘backtrack’ thanks to the GLP-1 drug boom—yes, those miracle meds celebs are using to hit new lows in the 'thin is in' Olympics. After decades from heroin-chic horrors ’90s to Meghan Trainor's curvy bass beats, now banned TikTok's SkinnyTok hashtag signals a fresh wave of ultra-thin worship. Actress Jameela Jamil surfaced to declaim, 'We fought the system... now do it again,' as social splits deepen with Yeshiva’s Dr. Nafees Alam noting body positivity is the broke person’s side hustle in the age of pricey injectables. Meanwhile, side effects like nausea and pancreatitis party crash the drug rave. Because why just accept your body when you can stress about ‘should I be smaller?’ instead?
