The celebs and influencers let us down

Over the years, we’ve seen celebrities and influencers championing body positivity, rejecting diet culture and embracing self-acceptance. Many of us found comfort in their messages, feeling seen and supported in our own body positivity journeys.. 

But lately, there’s been a clear change. Some of the same people who built their platforms on rejecting weight loss culture have now started losing weight. 

Completely co-incidentally (yeh right….) the rise of GLP-1 injections such as Ozempic seems to have escalated this, and now their once-empowering messages have been replaced with posts about body “transformation” and the supposed benefits of shedding weight.

So, if you’ve felt let down by this, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about why this happens, why it hurts so much, and why your frustration is completely valid.
