Will Ozempic shape body and beauty standards?

[enterthechair]

Not sure where to post this, but I feel like thin is back, and I'm scared.

I'm happy weight loss and diabetes drugs exist, and I'm happy they're helping people. At the same time, I worry in 10 years, how it will affect body positivity, when literally everyone will have access to them. Celebrities will be thin, and people will starve themselves to be like them.

In a world where everyone is super super thin, is a totally normal and healthy mombod or dadbod going to be considered hideous and obese?

Are we going back to 2004? Will all women need to be a size 2-4 again? Will all men need to have <12% bodyfat?

I have used it and I like it. For me, ittgetting healthy. Even though I have run marathons, my weight has gone up. So I am fit but need more help to maintain a good weight.

I feel like the beauty standards are there anyway.

And the impact of obesity on all sorts of health issues is large, with these weight loss medications helping to reduce a lot of those additional complications.

Like with everything, there will be good and bad.

Influencers are already offering unattainable lifestyles for children and teenagers. I personally don't think that adding weight loss medications into the mix is any worse than whatever else is out there , as it's all out there anyway.
