Model Ashley Graham <\/b>has long been a pioneer in the body positivity movement, though the GLP-1 trend has arguably challenged the concept of fierce acceptance.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really disheartening,\u201d Graham, 38, told Marie Claire<\/i><\/span> <\/i>in a profile published on Thursday, April 30. \u201cThere was a pendulum that swung that was so body acceptance, positivity [and] everybody be who they want to be. And now, it\u2019s going back this whole opposite way that feels like a smack in the face to the women who have felt like they\u2019ve had a voice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Semaglutides and GLP-1s \u2014 including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro \u2014 are commonly prescribed to adults who struggle with weight-related conditions. Many celebrities have since started using the controversial drugs to slim down, though doctors have cautioned against<\/span> using the medication for casual weight loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt goes with the times \u2014 and GLP-1s are a time,\u201d Graham acknowledged. \u201cI know that there are and there\u2019s gonna still be women who are considered plus-size forever. This drug isn\u2019t going to wipe out a whole statistic of women.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s so many [plus size influencers and creators]. They\u2019re all over the place with their sizes and their proportions and how they look and how they\u2019re relatable,\u201d the supermodel mused to the outlet. \u201cAnd to me, that\u2019s the coolest part about all of this.
