RHOSLC star Heather Gay opens up about being ‘shamed’ for using Ozempic after losing 25lbs

BBG News

As a dedicated follower and admirer of Heather Gay, I find her journey with weight-loss drug Ozempic both inspiring and heartbreaking at the same time. Being someone who has faced my fair share of body shaming throughout my life, I can empathize with Heather’s struggle to feel accepted, no matter what size she is.

Heather Gay, a cast member on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, is discussing her experience with the weight-loss medication Ozempic, expressing her feelings of not being able to triumph over her challenges.

As a devoted admirer, I can’t help but share my excitement about a remarkable transformation experienced by a cherished figure – Gay from RHOSLC. Last year, in an unexpected yet inspiring move, she confessed to using a certain drug and shed an astonishing 25 pounds! On the season 5 premiere, she even playfully attributed her gratitude to divine blessings and advanced medical solutions. What an incredible journey of self-improvement!

Over the last few years, Ozempic, initially created for managing type 2 diabetes, has seen an increase in usage as a weight loss aid, not just among celebrities but also among people outside the limelight.

This substance is called semaglutide, and it imitates the function of the GLP-1 hormone as mentioned by UCLA Health. The GLP-1 hormone collaborates with your brain to reduce your hunger and make you feel satisfied faster.

When it’s taken in a high dose, combined with diet and exercise, it can help people lose weight. 

Yet, in a recent interview, the proprietor of Beauty Lab + Laser confessed that despite her weight loss, she continues to face harsh criticism, surprisingly from fans who had earlier made disparaging remarks regarding her physical appearance.

‘I’ve been shamed for just about everything and anything,’ the reality star told E! News.

In my case, I faced embarrassment due to my weight issue, and again, when it came to my medication use. To add insult to injury, I found myself in a situation where there seemed to be no winning – regardless of how I chose to manage my health challenges.

Nevertheless, although she’s undergone a transformation in her physical aspect lately, she insisted that she remains true to herself, maintaining a liking for her appearance at every stage along the way.

In response to the interview, the author of ‘Bad Mormon’ expressed a similar sentiment: “I feel just as I did back then,” she said. “I appreciated myself in those days, and I appreciate myself now. It’s simply that Ozempic came along and it has been effective for me.

In the current season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she’s been quite open about revealing her private matters to the audience.

At the beginning of season five, as she mingled at a party hosted by fellow cast member Lisa Barlow, clad in a form-fitting red gown, she shared with the other women present that she was using Ozempic.

‘It’s been a long, overdue glow-up,’ Gay followed up in a confessional on the show. 

In the chill of November last year, I shared some thoughts on my journey as a mother of three lovely ladies, delving into my feelings about the current beauty norms that shape our daughters’ perceptions.

At the time, she had lost just five pounds from the medication.  

‘I think that we put so much pressure on ourselves and it’s hard,’ Gay told People last year.

She went on to say, “I have three precious daughters whom I adore, and I wish they wouldn’t inherit my genes or face societal pressures about beauty.

‘I just wish that there was a solution for all of us. But I’m feeling like I’m coming into my own a little bit and I think the glow up might be a little bit from that, too. 

‘But I’ll give credit to all the medical intervention. It’s my business.’
