Losing 80 pounds with the help of medication has brought a lot of positives — but Allie Olivares wants others to know it isn’t a magic bullet for life’s problems.
Since using weight loss medication, Allie Olivares has quieted the voice of her eating disorder in her brain while getting more comfortable running around with her 6-year-old. But her 80 pounds of weight loss while taking Wegovy has not come without challenges of its own, she said. “I still deal with a lot of body dysmorphia,” said Olivares, who lives in Philadelphia.
“Self-confidence is a muscle that you have to flex,” regardless of your weight, she added. The comments don’t stop Since her weight loss, Olivares has found that many of her social interactions begin with a comment about her body. “Noticing the weight loss is one of the first things say to me when they meet me,” she said. While there is a part of her brain influenced by diet culture that’s happy that people see her body is smaller, it also can make her uncomfortable, Olivares said.
