Every woman knows that number. The one on the scale that determines if it's going to be a "good" day or a "bad" day. Today's episode strips away the Instagram filters and exposes the raw truth about weight obsession, body image, and the latest "miracle" drug everyone's talking about - Ozempic. From step aerobics in the 80s to modern-day weight loss shots, Nicole and Jolene confront the exhausting reality of living in a society obsessed with being thin.

America's relationship with weight isn't just about health - it's about worth. It's about equating thinness with success, with discipline, with value. Both of us have lived through decades of this messaging, from Jane Fonda workout tapes to today's "what I eat in a day" TikToks.

The pressure doesn't just come from social media or magazine covers. It's whispered in dressing rooms, discussed over salads, and embedded in every "you look great, have you lost weight?" compliment.

The solution isn't found in another injection, another diet, or another exercise program. It starts with confronting uncomfortable truths: about how we value ourselves, about what we're really hungry for, about the cost of chasing an impossible standard.

Your Turn To Share!

Are you tired of waging war with your body? Have you considered Ozempic as your next battle plan? The conversation continues on Instagram and YouTube channel "We've Got to Talk." Because maybe the first step to healing isn't changing our bodies - it's changing the conversation.
