The Ozempic fatness 'cure' highlights Hollywood's body positivity lie.

. Conversations about body shaming and the dangers of constant dieting were starting to happen with more frequency in the mainstream.

I was a teenager when the “heroin chic” era of the 90s peaked, with its Calvin Klein ads and low rise jeans and Kate Moss quipping that “.” The highest fashion of my youth was designed to highlight just how thin you could be. Although the thing I wanted most in the world was to be thin, I didn’t want anyone to know I had to diet to get there. This is why the discourse around Ozempic being a “miracle drug” feels so dangerously familiar. Because suddenly, after more than a decade of therapy and hard work learning to love my fat body, I recently found myself considering weight loss again.

I want to be clear: No one owes us their body. Not even celebrities. I believe in body autonomy in all forms, which includes losing weight if that’s something you choose to do with your body. But when we lose fat representation — when celebrities suddenly lose weight or our fat icons lose the media’s interest — it’s fair to acknowledge a collective loss. I feel that loss right now.
