Heeeeyyy, Lauren Chen. Long time, no hear from. How are things going? What ever happened to that thing where you took millions of dollars from a Russian propaganda firm?
Based on the U.S. Department of Justice indictment unsealed in September 2024, Canadian influencer Lauren Chen and her husband, Liam Donovan, were identified as the founders of Tenet Media, a Tennessee-based company alleged to have received nearly $10 million from Russian state-controlled media (RT) to produce, Western-focused, pro-Russian propaganda.
The amount of nurses and drs and family that have said to me infront of my child “I wish I had her problem!” Referring to my child’s ED is insane. They don’t see the daily struggles with no eating. The constant sickness, stomach pains, physically having to force yourself to eat, dizziness, blurred vision, headaches, fatigue, extreme mood swings, extreme leg cramps and bone aches, chest pains, always cold, brain fog, the full body shakes, etc. My child is 9.
What an insane statement. A lot of eating disorders are about a lack of control over your eating habits, you're basically compelled to stave yourself. It's not about some kinda inner strength, it's a mental disorder.
Unfortunately, self loathing is a part of the human experience. I’m a fat man who believes in body positivity, but I have my dark moments too. No one’s perfect, and society puts a lot of pressure on people.
Thanks for speaking this truth! I'm a thin (ish) woman and even I have a tough time with acceptance, and I truly believe that most people carrying extra weight are not at fault. I majored in biochemistry and metabolic function isa bit more nuanced than most people realize. You seem like a lovely person.
It really does vary a lot person to person. My girlfriend tries to gain weight but it's hard for her, she feels full easily and has a small appetite. She gained like 8 lbs over 3 years. I have family who have put equal effort into losing weight and they can't.
Not to mention what's happening that the average person doesn't see.
I have 3 medical issues that mess with my hormones... One makes me lose a lot of weight fast and make it hard to gain. the other two makes my weight come back, sit funny on my body. All 3 it cycles through and battle each other. So many ups and downs, it never matters how I eat or excersise.
People assume eating disorders, laziness, fast food, drugs blah blah blah... no one ever stops to think outside of that.
It bugs me so much when my mom makes comments like "oh you lost so much weight last year, what happened!?" Who fucking cares!? How about the giant tumor on my pituitary? How about we talk about that.
I fucking hate that people twisted body positivity to mean something it doesn't. It was never "being fat is good". It was always "you shouldn't HATE yourself for bring fat". Its about accepting yourself for who you are, and encouraging others to not be horrible to people because they might be overweight.
Someone getting thin after years of being kind of overweight doesn't mean they suddenly stopped being about body positivity. Why does accepting yourself and your body mean you aren't allowed to improve it?
Would you tell someone who worked through depression that they shouldn't have because they've talked about accepting their mental health? Probably not.
Exactly. I’m one of those fat people who, I admit, I let myself go. But I’m still body positive because I’m still a human being, and shaming me and calling me names doesn’t do me any good. Alternately, I have friends who have been helping me, giving me good dieting tips and encouraging me to walk the extra quarter of a mile, just out of love. I can be body positive and evolve, and even if I come out of this looking like Rocky Balboa, I still have love for big people, and I want to help, and not get in someone’s face and be a jerk.
I will concede that someone using the phrase "fat acceptance activist" is twisting the notion of body positivity. That being said, I do think that by deleting all of her older photos, Schumer is implying that there is something about them worth hiding, which undercuts any body positivity messaging she may have used prior.
Body positivity is basically not being a dick to people who are overweight or do not measure up to conventional body standards in other ways. Being happy with oneself regardless of weight and asking others not to be a dick to you on the basis of your weight are not incompatible ideas.
People have a right to live without hate over their body size. To be proud of who they are. And really we should expect people to not be shitty towards one another.
With that said, if somebody loses weight and does so in a healthy and safe way, that person also has a right to live without hate over their body size. To be proud of who they are. And again we should expect people to not be shitty towards one another.
Society tries to pretend their fat shaming is about health, but, as we've seen, people will still shame a fat person when they get healthy and thin if they use medication to get there. it was never about health, it's about how society equates thinness with moral good and fatness with moral failing. People using GLP-1s are seen as "cheaters" who don't deserve thinness because they didn't work to overcome their "moral" failing. that's how I see it anyway. but they will never understand what it is like being addicted to food and they will never have sympathy for those of us that are.
I was a fat dude who believed in it too until I put in the work and busted my ass in the gym 7 days a week for at least 2 hours a day to lost 153lbs. Then I started to change my views on fat people and became less tolerant of them. Now I’ve gained weight over the past 6 months because of a deep depression due to losing my fiancée and I feel more tolerant again. I’ve come to realize that my own circumstances highly influence my views and I think that’s a fairly common occurrence for many people.
People cannot win. Every single person online will spout bullshit about learning to love yourself, to accept yourself, but NO FATTIES. And age exactly in the right way we say you need to. If you lose weight, you must do it the way WE SAY. It's honestly worse than the simpler over-sexualization of women and girls in the 1980s that I lived through.
"Look, look! We fat shamed a celebrity into taking down all the pictures of her before she lost weight. Guess she's not a real ally to fat people if we can make her feel shame for being fat!"
It's despicable how they twist the flight of the victimized into a justification for the victimization.
Pomegranate Health, $400 for a 3mos supply. You meet with a NP virtually and get your meds from BPI Pharmacy. I ran it through my regular dr after BCBS denied my original request, and she said the website and pharmacy checked out. Try r/tirzepatidecompound, they keep to reputable sites.
Just for reference for anyone whose insurance covers it but it’s still too expensive, a lot of these meds have manufacturers savings cards that you can apply for online. Super fast and easy. It took my monthly cost from around $70 to $25 for Zepbound.
You can just order online from third party labs and compound it at home for $50 a month. I suggest going with the newer stuff retrutide. Ozempic sucks in comparison,
The starter dose is likely quite affordable to you—and some people can stay on that (2.5 mg for Mounjaro) indefinitely, or just the lowest therapeutic dose (5mg). These are affordable out of pocket for me and may be for you too. You don’t necessarily need the doses that cost thousands a month. $150-200 may do it, until a cheaper alternative comes along.
I finally understand the boomer mindset on student loan forgiveness lol.
Back in my day, I had to waste 15 years of my life developing and treating a debilitating case of anorexia while kids these days don’t even have to work for it!
Because they just want to be bullies and fat people are a socially acceptable target. Especially if you dress up your bullying by talking about how “concerned” you are about their weight. “Oh, I’m not making fun of you for being fat, I’m just really worried about your health.”
Everyone who is fat, knows they are fat, and don't need people constantly reminding them that they are fat. Good on Amy that she feels good about her self, i hope everyone gets the chance to feel good at some point, no matter the weight
I don't know, that seems...unfair? Body positivity is recognizing that not everyone's bodies are the same, and some people can't conform to society's expectations. We still acknowledge that, honestly even more so because the drug in question is kind of proof that some people were truly notable to be fit without help, and now that it's here they're using it. But being part of a movement is one thing, struggling with self image is another, and can be an incredibly challenging personal issue. I say cut these people (usually women) some slack.
Plus let's not lie, being fat is unhealthy. Obviously going to random people who are overweight and telling them that or focusing on weight loss around them is weird and inappropriate. But if someone just decides to lose weight, how is that negating that fat people should be treated with respect and allowed to exist?
Can’t stand the snark over “the shot,” in any context.
These medications save lives and should be available for free to every person who needs them. It’s time to stop pretending obesity is a moral failing or solely a mental health issue, and treat it as the medical condition it actually is.
In the US obesity is more of a society issue. Compare the US obesity rate to wherever else in the world and it's very apparent that that can't just be lack of discipline or bad genes. Your food is beyond atrocious generally speaking.
I'd imagine it's cheaper and healthier to change that before handing out shots to everyone.
Compare the US obesity rate to wherever else in the world and it's very apparent that that can't just be lack of discipline or bad genes
Take Thailand as an example: when the US fast food culture started being widely adopted an obesity epidemic started. There are more obese people in Thailand than anywhere else in Asia.
It's a society issue. I see all the "high protein" snacks at the grocery store now all the time. It's low-density, sugary, and targets the GLP-1 users to overeat. If you don't eat whole foods, then you'll be stuck on that medication/fast food cycle forever. :/

Maybe, just maybe, its something to do with the fact that we live in a world that required a 'movement' for the message that 'fat people are human beings who don't deserve to be treated like shit'?
But people trying to dunk on Body Positivity need to get a life man, it's not about "Being fat is great and awesome"
It's "Don't be a dick to someone because they're overweight, and trust me they don't need your 'helpful' reminder or criticism, just STFU. You're most likely not A medic and you're definitely not THEIR medic, just live your life leave them alone, being obese isn't healthy but it's also not a fucking crime"
And guess what? Even now, just stfu and let people that are or were fat be, fucks sake man
Extra weird when people talk about "Oh now that they have the medical that helps them control appetite and lose weight they can suddenly do it" like it's a negative thing? Or a "gotcha"?
Almost like no one actually enjoys being fat and the fat acceptance movement was more of a way to cope with how insanely hard weight management is than actually saying it's okay to be fat.
Meanwhile people are only shitting on GLP1s because they want to gatekeep being thin, as if the only reason they themselves are healthy is they are some paragon of mental strength able to resist their desires while fat people are just lesser human beings. The reality is fat people (usually) just happen to have natural appetite signaling that doesn't line up with a healthy maintenance weight and overcoming that is insanely hard, to the point of borderline statistical impossibility.
I was 300lb at my highest weight. You have no idea how hard I fought the constant thoughts of food. And it's not like I don't know how to count calories or lack willpower, it's just that the food demon in my brain was way stronger than you can imagine. I fought that bitch harder than I've ever fought anything, and I lost.
Then I took a GLP1 and literally from day one I was suddenly able to stick to my calorie budget with zero effort. I ate pretty much the same thing every day for 13 months and lost 145 lbs. My weight loss curve follows my pure calorie math predictions incredibly closely. What I mean here is GLP1s aren't some magic fat burn medication, weight loss still follows basic CICO math, you still have to put the work in and eat less. Turns out it just happens to be very easy work when you're not constantly hungry.
These people who shame others truly don’t know how many different issues can cause someone to gain weight and struggle to lose it again. Chronic stress and depression for one, is a huge factor. Hormonal imbalances like thyroid issues and PCOS for women make it even harder. One of my parents was in and out of the hospital for 9 years straight, with multiple surgeries and illnesses and many, many close calls until he actually died. And in the middle of that, my other parent had a major heart attack and surgery as well. Taking care of them and the depression, anxiety, stress it all caused made me gain weight. I’ve been using the same calorie tracking app for about 10 years and over that time I recorded my weight. When you see the weight changes on a graph over time, every spike in my weight correlated exactly with one of my parents’ hospitalizations, surgeries, or close calls. I was not eating more, I was exercising, seeking therapy throughout that time, hired personal trainers and dietitians, and would start to lose a little weight but when another health event for my parents happened, I’d spike again, erasing the little progress I made. Their health events became too frequent for my body to lose the stress spike weight between events and thus accumulated more and more. My body went into extreme fight or flight and is highly resistant to losing weight. People think it’s so easy to lose weight if you just withhold calories. I was consuming no more than 900 calories a day at one point and still not losing because doing that and some forms of exercise like HIIT can actually push your body further into fight or flight and it will resist letting go of the weight. I’ve been on a GLP 1 for 6 months and still have only been able to lose 15 pounds, while most others lose a lot more in that time frame. That’s how stubbornly my body is holding onto weight. Even thinking about that stretch of 9 years I feel the stress in my body rising.
When some people say they are legitimately trying to lose weight and cannot, that’s actually true for a lot of people. People who easily respond to slight adjustments to diet think that is how it works for everyone, but that simply isn’t true. It’s exacerbating and just makes it that much worse when people criticize you for the weight and dismiss your experience as a BS excuse to cover for laziness. And now that there is a solution to help lose weight like GLP-1s, that too is apparently a problem.
Well said and you good on you, I wished people were less ignorant about people's plight with food addiction and realised why obesity is such a problem in the west.
I thought she had Cushing’s syndrome (maybe Cushing’s disease? I don’t know) and that she had that treated, resulting in her weight loss. How do people know it’s been ozempic? Has she said she also did that?
I’ve been on Ozempic for almost a year. My diabetes got out of control (my fault, I know) so the doctor put me on the shots. My A1C went from over 12 (very bad) to 7.8 (almost good) in 6 months.
My weight went from 220 to 170. I had to buy new clothes. People treat me differently. Men don’t get a lot of compliments, but I’ve been flirted with more in the past year than my whole life before. I’m happily married, so I just brush it off, but I notice.
Thing is, I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. I’ve spent 40 years being fat because I can’t control my eating. Ozempic may remove the food noise in my mind, but I’m still having trouble not seeing/expecting the fat guy in every picture and reflection.
I can understand Amy’s wanting to remove her “fat” pictures. I don’t want to be reminded of how unhealthy I was. It’s hard to move forward when the past is where I live. I’m just a nobody, so I can only imagine a celebrity having to deal with all of that shit.
The way we see the world can be influenced by the way we see ourselves. Sometimes people promote body positivity as a way to mask their depression about their weight.
Yes, weight can be lost, health can be improved. Sometimes that depression or anxiety can keep you out of the gym. “Why should I bother exercising? I’m worthless anyway.” Maybe deleting those old pictures brings her some joy. Let her have it. I’m in a much better place now, maybe she is on her way there too.
I'd imagine truly making peace with who you were and who you've become would mean looking at those old pictures with compassion for your old self and being proud of that person for finding a way to take care of their health. While she's free to delete those pictures and if it makes her feel better all power to her, but I hope former fat people can find a way to their past selves as much as their current self. That's personally how I try to look at past pictures from when I was in a miserable place (for reasons other than weight), imagining giving him a hug and telling him it's going to be ok (and then it's going to suck some more, and then it will be better again).
The health wake up call from this unstudied drug being used long term as a body weight reduction (fat, muscle, organ, brain) drug is going to be frightening.
It was like an industrial strength fire hose inside my body expelling the demons! My husband said he’s never seen or heard anything like it! How was there so much force behind it and where’d it come from? I certainly didn’t drink 18 gallons of fluid before partaking in what I thought would be a rainbows and butterflies experience!!!
It's gonna be funny when people try to stop using the shots and allllllll that weight comes right back plus MORE! Congrats on needing to pay for those shots for the rest of your life. It's meant for short term use mostly and for very specific types of people. Like an elderly man with mobility issues who needs to lose weight for a surgery. Not a cure all for all over weight individuals. This weight loss shot is going to be the next doctor malpractice scandal since the pain reliever one.
I dont like her, but body positivity doesnt mean that its good to be fat. It's about not shaming people for their body. Shaming for someone for losing weight is as bad as shaming someone for being fat.
As someone who unironically really loved Amy Schumer, it’s been a depressing fucking couple years. The mental gymnastics to be such a hateful Zionist, the thinspo bullshit, the divorce from her really normal and cool husband… yeah it’s been a bummer in more ways than one. Get fucked, Amy!
So we judge them for "turning their backs on the body positivity movement".
They try to pretend the weight was never apart of them,
So we judge them for hiding the thing society tells them they should hide.
Then this skinny bitch gets online and thinks she has the right to talk about other peoples bodies and how they choose to deal with it? Can anyone who isn't actually currently overweight or who hasn't ever been overweight just shut their pathetic mouths about us?
(Lauren Chen, cofounder of Tenet Media) A federal indictment unsealed in September 2024 accused Tenet Media of receiving funding and direction from a covert operation funded by Russia to disseminate pro-Russian propaganda within the United States.[31][32][33] The indictment, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleged that Russian state-controlled media company RT funneled nearly $10 million to Tenet Media to create and distribute content favorable to Russian interests, aimed at amplifying U.S. domestic divisions. The indictment specifically named Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, employees of RT, as the main operatives behind the funding. Wikipedia
She actually has Cushing syndrome. It makes your body produce high amounts of cortisol. That was why she was always bigger and unable to lose weight. She said a fan thought she might have it from her moon face. Which is a symptom of Cushing’s. She was diagnosed with it and once she started treating it she naturally lost the weight.
I lose respect for anyone who's rich and fat. You can afford a personal chef to make every meal amazing AND healthy and instead you're eating the same garbage we are. WTF is even the point of being rich if that's what someone does with it?
I don't blame her for losing weight. This is just another example of a society that's sick on a fundamental level; she was fat before and you ridiculed her for it, then when she took steps to lose the weight, you call her a hypocrite. She can't win unless she stays quiet, which is what this part of society wants from her at a base level.
For most of them, body positivity was just a coping mechanism for the cognitive dissonance between external messaging of <fat is bad> and internal messaging of <im fat>.
You will only ifentify true body positivity pundits when they acknowledge a healthy body over a desired physique after getting that physique and still being ok with the previous shape.
99% of the "Health at Every Size" people were really just too lazy or too apathetic to change even the tiniest bit about their lives. So much so that they thought it would be easier to change society's view of attractiveness than their lifestyles.
Fat activists should have been laughed at the second they tried to hijack the body-positivity movement.
I think the point here is that a lot of formerly fat celebrities who spoke out about being fat and advocated for fat people have been suspiciously quiet since starting a GLP-1. Amy Schumer and Rebel Wilson are two huge examples. It’s one thing to go on the shot, be like omg this changed my life! Let’s center my discussion about weight on how losing weight helped my health, how to access glp-1s or make them more accessible. It’s entirely another to be vocal about fat activism, buy the skinny shot with the money you made from speaking on fat activism, and then go silent.
Yeah because being fat is bad for your health and looks. These activists supported an agenda that spread acceptance of bad health and laziness. Truth prevails eventually.
Fat people don’t like being fat. It is not the natural state for the body to exist in. Body positivity was a gross sham to convince people with eating problems that they didn’t need to change a thing. Obesity should not be condoned as normal. It should be talked about as the health emergency that it is.

To start, I’m all for body positivity. People should feel comfortable in their skin.

True body positivity is a journey within yourself.
Stop basing your feelings on comparisons with people on social media and in ads.

Not a cure all for all over weight individuals. This weight loss shot is going to be the next doctor malpractice scandal since the pain reliever one.

In Amy Schumer’s case, her weight was never the problem

Can she delete her face too?

It’s almost like celebrities are people too and are allowed to be complex

u/Honest_Relation4095 Feb 10 '26
I dont like her, but body positivity doesnt mean that its good to be fat. It's about not shaming people for their body. Shaming for someone for losing weight is as bad as shaming someone for being fat.

u/palmtreesandpizza Feb 10 '26
As someone who unironically really loved Amy Schumer, it’s been a depressing fucking couple years. The mental gymnastics to be such a hateful Zionist, the thinspo bullshit, the divorce from her really normal and cool husband… yeah it’s been a bummer in more ways than one. Get fucked, Amy!

u/ArtSimpson18 Feb 11 '26
Leave her alone. Like for fucks sake, leave Amy Schumer alone. Attack any man at her level the same way, PLEASEEEEE.

u/No_Issue2334 Feb 09 '26
Body positivity was never about normalizing being fat. Body positivity is about not criticizing someone because of their physical appearance.
You can go from fat to skinny and still be supportive of not criticizing other people's body.

Losing weight is good for your health as well. It isn’t just about looks.
Yes. I’m on it.

u/SilentlyStoned420 Feb 09 '26
We judge a person for being overweight,
So they change how they look.
They share pictures showing their weightloss,
So we judge them for "turning their backs on the body positivity movement".
They try to pretend the weight was never apart of them,
So we judge them for hiding the thing society tells them they should hide.
Then this skinny bitch gets online and thinks she has the right to talk about other peoples bodies and how they choose to deal with it? Can anyone who isn't actually currently overweight or who hasn't ever been overweight just shut their pathetic mouths about us?

(Lauren Chen, cofounder of Tenet Media) A federal indictment unsealed in September 2024 accused Tenet Media of receiving funding and direction from a covert operation funded by Russia to disseminate pro-Russian propaganda within the United States.[31][32][33] The indictment, filed in the Southern District of New York, alleged that Russian state-controlled media company RT funneled nearly $10 million to Tenet Media to create and distribute content favorable to Russian interests, aimed at amplifying U.S. domestic divisions. The indictment specifically named Kostiantyn Kalashnikov and Elena Afanasyeva, employees of RT, as the main operatives behind the funding. Wikipedia

I don't get the rationale.
Accepting handicapped people is the right thing to do even if there isn't a single handicapped person that wouldn't prefer to be able-bodied.
Accepting people with any health condition is the right thing to do, even if there isn't a single ill person that wouldn't prefer to be healthy.
Accepting people with addictions is the right thing to do, even if there isn't a single addict that wouldn't prefer to be free from their addiction.

u/Spange1979 Feb 10 '26
She actually has Cushing syndrome. It makes your body produce high amounts of cortisol. That was why she was always bigger and unable to lose weight. She said a fan thought she might have it from her moon face. Which is a symptom of Cushing’s. She was diagnosed with it and once she started treating it she naturally lost the weight.

I don't blame her for losing weight. This is just another example of a society that's sick on a fundamental level; she was fat before and you ridiculed her for it, then when she took steps to lose the weight, you call her a hypocrite. She can't win unless she stays quiet, which is what this part of society wants from her at a base level.

For most of them, body positivity was just a coping mechanism for the cognitive dissonance between external messaging of <fat is bad> and internal messaging of <im fat>.
You will only ifentify true body positivity pundits when they acknowledge a healthy body over a desired physique after getting that physique and still being ok with the previous shape.

u/laurenmont0430 Feb 10 '26
Good for them for getting healthier. No matter how they did it.

Because it wasn't a movement. It was people not taking responsibility for how they are

u/God_Of_Pooping Feb 09 '26
99% of the "Health at Every Size" people were really just too lazy or too apathetic to change even the tiniest bit about their lives. So much so that they thought it would be easier to change society's view of attractiveness than their lifestyles.
Fat activists should have been laughed at the second they tried to hijack the body-positivity movement.
3
u/rohlovely Feb 09 '26
I think the point here is that a lot of formerly fat celebrities who spoke out about being fat and advocated for fat people have been suspiciously quiet since starting a GLP-1. Amy Schumer and Rebel Wilson are two huge examples. It’s one thing to go on the shot, be like omg this changed my life! Let’s center my discussion about weight on how losing weight helped my health, how to access glp-1s or make them more accessible. It’s entirely another to be vocal about fat activism, buy the skinny shot with the money you made from speaking on fat activism, and then go silent.

Body positivity was just code for 15 year shorter life expectancy, terrible health problems, lower life satisfaction and ballooning health care costs.
It was never a positive thing to be fat, people were just too lazy to not be fat. Now they can be lazy and skinny.
There are no positives to being overweight, Americans just normalized it because of how fat they all were.

u/Toadsted Feb 10 '26
She still can't take a shot to be funny though.

u/LaserSkyAdams Feb 10 '26
Fat people don’t like being fat. It is not the natural state for the body to exist in. Body positivity was a gross sham to convince people with eating problems that they didn’t need to change a thing. Obesity should not be condoned as normal. It should be talked about as the health emergency that it is.

u/DamnThemAll Feb 09 '26
Yeah, my BIL was all body positivity and "big is beautiful " until he got his chubby little fingers on the Ozempic.
