Ozempic and Mounjaro, initially developed for managing type 2 diabetes, have surged in popularity due to their significant weight-loss effects. These medications, which regulate appetite and metabolism, have become a topic of discussion among those seeking transformative results.

One 37-year-old woman, however, is pushing back against critics after facing body-shaming comments despite her weight-loss success. Bridget, known on social media as SimplyBridget12, has been open about her journey, documenting her transformation online since 2022. Beginning her journey at 250 pounds, Bridget utilized Mounjaro – a prescription medication approved by the FDA in May 2022 for treating type 2 diabetes – to achieve her current weight of 133 pounds.

Mounjaro, known as tirzepatide or Zepbound, has been highly effective for weight management by curbing appetite and optimizing the body’s ability to process sugar and fat. It functions similarly to Ozempic and Wegovy, both of which use semaglutide to influence satiety and promote weight loss. It’s crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if Mounjaro is appropriate for your health needs and to understand potential risks.

Bridget’s TikTok post showcasing her transformation has amassed over 105,000 views, but not everyone has been supportive. Some commenters claimed she looked “too thin” or “aged.” Unbothered by the negativity, Bridget refused to let criticism overshadow her hard work. She stood firm in her journey, proving that body-shaming exists at any size. Through it all, she remained focused on her health and happiness, showing that confidence and self-acceptance matter far more than outside opinions.

Bridget’s weight-loss journey has inspired many, but not everyone has been supportive. In one of her posts, a critic mocked her use of medication, writing:

“So you need meds to lose weight? I feel so sorry for you. You don’t have the discipline to do it yourself.”

Unfazed by the negativity, Bridget confidently shut down the comment, replying, “-117 down! No need to feel sorry for me,” and “No shame in my game. I would do this all over again.🥰”

Some comments took an even harsher turn, with one user attacking those who struggle with obesity, calling her “disgusting” and insisting she should “have some self-control.” Bridget didn’t hesitate to stand up for herself and others in similar battles.

“Obese people are ruining the world? That’s some next-level obesity bias. It’s sad how people hold so much hate over something that, for many of us, isn’t entirely within our control,” Bridget said. 

She also wrote: “This made my blood boil! I will continue speaking out about GLP-1s. They’re just big mad that, for the first time, we’ve leveled the playing field!”

Another follower criticized her for continuing her weight-loss efforts, commenting:

“You are thin already. What’s the goal, emaciated? That’s not attractive. I don’t get it.”

Bridget took the remark in stride, responding:

“She said I was thin! Never in my wildest dreams did I think people would be concerned about me being too thin. NSV? 😅 Never want to be 250 pounds again, which is why I’m still taking it.”

Despite the negativity, Bridget remains committed to her journey. She has continued to use her platform to educate others, share her fitness routine, and advocate for people navigating similar experiences. She hoped people would “stop judging” and instead focus on supporting those striving for better health.
