No-Zempic Monday

Your weekly injection of resistance

Happy Monday afternoon, No-Zempies! This Memorial Day has gone very differently than anticipated, which resulted in this going out later than I normally send it. But I am here with some new thoughts and GLP-1 news.

The purpose of this newsletter

For those of us who are new here (hi!!), I just wanted to review why we’re all here. I write The Fat Dispatch on life through a liberatory lens—everything from love to parenting to religion to my Ozempic use.

I was on Ozempic for 3 or 4 years (the dates are fuzzy in my head, but somewhere around there) when I decided to share my complicated relationship with the drug. As a fat liberationist, I recognize that intentional weight loss often results in harmful side effects, like disordered eating and other health problems.
