Descrizione
With the rise of early 2000’s trends and Ozempic we are seeing a resurgence of the “Thin is In” and “Thinspiration” content that was very harmful in years past. This revival of praising thinness is happening both culturally and socially. The change has been very noticeable in the last year or so with social media trends like “big back behavior” going massively viral and the constant replay of celebrities and influencers openly talking and encouraging the use of weight-loss or diabetes medications that include Semaglutide and Tirzepatide (Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjoro) spreading all over the internet.
People now speak openly in negative context about other people’s bodies and what they eat or wear. It’s the new social norm to openly speculate on celebrities weight loss even when they have not come out and said why or how they are loosing weight. It’s now considered normal to say “I’m being a Big Back” when you feel guilty about the amount of food you are eating or even worse, to say that about or to somebody else in response to them eating or buying food. There is no acknowledgment of just how harmful this behavior is, so today, I’m pleading for a change. We all benefit when we view, judge, and talk about bodies in an open and positive light. Welcome to the body positively revolution.
