She had a very, like, she's a little curvy. She had a very normal body. Like it wasn't super thin. It wasn't super big. It was just like, like, I really think she was just like, looked like the way most of her audience looked. And that felt so exciting, especially in that time, like cable television.

Um, so much so that she literally at one point was like on the board of directors for Weight Watchers. She was like, like a very, very big thing. And she pushed it all the time and talked about this importance of building a healthy lifestyle, blah, blah, blah. And then she took Ozempic, lost all the weight, and now is not on the board.

She got fired from the board of Weight Watchers for it, I believe. And then is now like endorsing Ozempic left and right, which again is a very like class thing. Like not $1,500 a month for Ozempic is insane. That's a lot of money. Also, I think we've seen this even, too, with, like, music artists.

I think two big examples are Meghan Trainor and Lizzo, which were two people who really blew up and, like, I think the ethos and story of their music and community was, like, being a plus size woman and being so proud of it and feeling hot and creating music that other girls who look that way heard and also felt hot.

Um, and then they both lost a ton of weight and they don't look like that anymore. Again, like I'm not trying to be mean. I'm what I'm saying is I think young people have lost their representation. There is no more body positive representation in the culture, barely at all. Um,

And if you are somebody who really felt all this confidence and seen for the first time by listening to that music by watching somebody like Oprah, and then all these people don't look like that anymore. Like and you're a 15 year old girl, like I feel like that has to be so isolating in a world where you are already so isolated.

And again, like I'm not trying to be mean, I'm happy that they're doing what makes them happy. It is their body, it is their choice. Like they are allowed to do that. And it's also a very sick and twisted thing about women in media is like, you know, people are going to hate them when they're fat and then they get skinny and people hate them for being skinny.

And it's like, okay, well, you know, what am I, what do I do? You know, like I, I very much sympathize with that problem. Um, and again, that's why I'm not trying to comment on their bodies. I'm trying to like talk about this idea of representation. Like A young girl, young person has none of that anymore, it really feels like.

And a great example of this we're starting to see is with surgeries, not even just this idea of things like Ozempic. There was a big drama with Remy Bader, who is known, huge creator, for making plus-size fashion content and doing very honest reviews of it, of the brand's, of the clothing, being super realistic about it.

And then she lost roughly 130 pounds in a year through this bariatric procedure known as SADIS, which is a surgery that removes about 80% of the stomach and reroutes part of the small intestine to promote weight loss.
