## Caption

See prior post for Part 1! Sorry—I didn’t realize my video was cutoff! Reposting my caption here:
Recently, many celebrities who have been forced to struggle with their bodies in public, have opened up about their thoughts on weight loss drugs. I appreciate their honesty and the courage it takes to wade into what can be a very hostile environment. A couple weeks ago, I opened up about my own thoughts on this issue via my newsletter. The feedback was immense, personal, and emotional. My thoughts are not final and, as I repeat, I do NOT judge ANYONE who decides to or not to take these medications. I can understand both points of view. I am also open to hearing from a variety of people with different life experiences from mine, to ensure that my evolving opinion remains informed and empathetic.

Of all the many personal issues I share on my social media, my struggle with this is the ONLY one that remains quite tender and largely unhealed. A few years ago, I made a conscious choice to discuss my ongoing issues with this with all of you, knowing that many of you are going through the same thing. It is imperative that we remind each other that we are not alone in this. That we can lean on each other.

That said, because this is the one thing I talk about that is still a little raw, I am asking that anyone who wants to say something or otherwise contribute do so with respect and kindness. Any rude, disrespectful, or dismissive comments will be deleted.

Thank you in advance for letting me share.
