The more we learn about her, the more it seems like actress and singer Ashley Tisdale<\/a> is one of the most real, most down-to-earth people in Hollywood. The 40-year-old High School Musical star has already seemed honest and thoughtful, so of course she would have a lot of nuanced thoughts on Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs<\/a> that have gained so much popularity in recent years. <\/p>\n

Tisdale took to her blog (yes, she still regularly writes posts on a blog) to share her thoughts<\/a> on not only GLP-1s, but also about weight, body image, and body trends. It\u2019s totally worth the read. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like everyone’s either on a GLP-1 drug or talking about starting it,\u201d she writes. \u201cI’m all for transparency and openness, but I’ve had moments when I’ve wondered, Is everyone using Ozempic except me?\u201d <\/p>\n

The mom of two then quickly clarified that she knows it\u2019s an important and life-changing drug for many people. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have absolutely ZERO judgment toward anyone using Ozempic or other similar medications,\u201d she says. \u201cZero. Just like with plastic surgery or any other personal decision about your body, I believe it’s yours to make. If a shot helps you feel healthier and more comfortable in your body, I fully support that. These drugs can be life-changing, and for many people, they are truly transformative.\u201d<\/p>\n

But she goes on to detail how exhausted she is by body trends. <\/p>\n

\u201cBut when I see people who are already thin signing up for it, I can’t help but think of how body trends keep shifting. In the 2000s it was big boobs, then suddenly flat chests were in. The 2010s brought body positivity, and now it’s like we’re back to chasing ultra-slim everything. We keep moving the goalposts and it’s exhausting,\u201d she writes. <\/p>\n

Then she explains why the drugs are not for her, even though many others in her industry take them. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, even though there are days I’ve been tempted, I’ve decided that Ozempic isn’t the right move for me. I’m not against Western medicine by any means, but I like to take a holistic view of weight, which is so deeply tied to hormones, sleep, food, mental health, genetics, and stress. (And sometimes autoimmune issues, which I personally live with.)\u201d <\/p>\n

What she says next really hit hard: why are we trying to change our bodies? <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I’m most interested in is the why behind my desire to change my body,\u201d she writes. \u201cWhat am I actually chasing? What part of me isn’t feeling okay as I am? And I also remind myself that bodies aren’t supposed to stay the same. I remember feeling frustrated when I was three months postpartum, wondering why I still had a belly. Now I look back at pictures and think, Of course I had a belly\u2014I had just had a baby!\u201d <\/p>\n

The real goal isn\u2019t a number on a scale, but making peace with the body you have. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re taking medication, switching up your workouts, or simply practicing a little self-kindness. The real win is making peace with the person in the mirror\u2014today, tomorrow, and every season after… What matters is choosing the path that helps you feel strong, confident, and at home in your own body.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Scary Movie 5 star also posted excerpts from her thoughts on TikTok<\/a>, where fans largely praised her stance. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do i feel like ashley tisdale is one of the more non toxic, normal healthy celebrities,\u201d one of the most popular comments reads. <\/p>\n

\u201cI love hearing a celebrity speak up about this,\u201d another said. \u201cBodies aren\u2019t \u2018trendy.\u2019 People who aren\u2019t sick shouldn\u2019t be using this to just get skinny and feed into ED culture.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYassss queen! our body image fluctuates daily, weekly, monthly, through seasons and it\u2019s about building a healthy and kins relationship with ourselves\/body and being able to recognize we won\u2019t always love or even like our body and it\u2019s in those moments that how we talk to ourselves and treat our body that truly matters,\u201d another added. <\/p>\n

Here for this discussion, please and thank you Ashley. <\/p>\n
