Another z-biotic sponsor – really?
it’s disgusting that you would leverage you education to take advantage of your audience like this. Do you not make enough money with your huge house and own product? You can afford to be picky.
Not only is it a scam product, but your audience who are made up of people who are recovering from EDs, are uniquely susceptible to alcholism… so what sell a product that is designed to make drinking to excess easier (it doesn’t actually, since it’s a scam, but if it did work, I would still say you should be ashamed of yourself).
I’m sorry that people have made you feel that way Ginger! I am happy to hear you feel good because that is what truly matters!! Thank you for sharing your experience ❤

No channel is safe place . There are haters everywhere . I don’t blame you for sometimes wanting to leave the platform. Remember that there are more people who really benefit from your videos than those few who try to 💩🧻up things with hostile damaging words
I’m in the US and my insurance covers Wegovy for weight loss but only covers Ozempic for type 2 diabetes. That’s why I was prescribed Wegovy instead of Ozempic because I’m not type 2 diabetic. Maybe that’s why people suggested Wegovy? I don’t know. I honestly couldn’t care less what people take as long as it works for them.
My insurance only covered $600 of Wegovy so I would still have to pay $1,000 out of pocket a month which is insane.
Thanks, Abbey, for all the information.
Thank you, Ginger, for sharing your experiences and vulnerability with us.
❤️❤️

Critisism is one thing, being judgy and hateful is something else! I am so sorry Ginger!! We all should be better ❤️❤️
right!
Criticism is literally subjective. You cannot read a strangers intent. It’s best to avoid the noise on the internet
@@babesababe5885 criticism is subjective, but judging is more negative, almost imposing own ideas. I do still think we should be better, and be more respectful of other people choices that do not affect us. Also there are many ways to express personal opinions and ideas, that do not hurt others.
Ginger, I’m so sorry that people have just been awful to you in the comments. I want you to know that you and other people open about your incredible journey encouraged me to try GLP-1 agonists and I’m now 20lbs down in just over a month on Mounjaro. Thank you so much for sharing and I hope you’ll continue to be raw and honest and open despite the minority who are just trolls 🙏
Thank you for what you were able to share with us Ginger. I wish you well! Abby, thank you for all the great information you’ve shared.
I am so sorry to hear about the negative comments! I found the updates really interesting.
thank you!
This is so sad to hear. Unfortunately, the haters are often louder than the people who you help. These videos were so informative. Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your experience.
As another person who has family members with dementia and Parkinson’s I would also appreciate a follow up video with more on that research as it becomes available!
It would be so amazing if it helped!
Just want to say that I was inspired by Ginger’s journey enough to talk to my doctor about going on a GLP-1. Then I watched each video again to get a possible take on what might happen as I went on my journey. Thank you for sharing and helping push me over the edge to just go for it. I’m really happy with the success I’ve had so far and find your shares helpful!
I don’t often comment, and I have loved this series. I have been contemplating GLP-1’s to help with tipping the scales in my health as well as weight loss, it has been really helpful for me!
Thanks for sharing with us Ginger. I am on Semeglatude and have been for almost as long as you. I have lost 60 and feel great. I need to lose more. But I felt so much better after listening to your story.
Ginger, you are kicking butt and taking names! So happy for you and that you are happy in your body and on your journey. I have only told people who directly ask about being on Zepbound because of the judgement. 😔 and I work in healthcare. Abbey, thank you for covering this issue and calling it out. ❤
Hearing about Ginger’s experience helped me to talk to my doctor about it, so I really appreciate her vulnerability and willingness to share. I wish people weren’t so nasty, especially towards people making independent health decisions for themselves. Just let people live, it’s not that deep a-holes!!
Well said!
I hope you can remember that for every one person who is writing a hate comment there are probably 100 who are leaving no comment that absolutely love what you two are doing and have such compassion and empathy for your journeys. This isn’t even a topic that is personally relevant to me but I feel so honoured that you are sharing, Ginger, so we can all learn more about this subject and help combat the misinformation and stigma! Lots of love to you Ginger on your journey and always lots of love to you Abbey for everything you do <3
I just wanted to thank Ginger for her courage and vulnerability, and send a virtual hug.
Ginger, when I first started my own Oz journey, I found your videos so helpful and relatable! But everything you said is exactly why I have kept my use of it quiet. People are very judgemental. Even my best friend had a rant about ‘people stealing diabetics medication’ after seeing a news article. I completely understand why we will no longer hear from you, but I want to thank you for putting yourself out there in the first place ❤
I was wondering what had happened to Ginger and appreciate that she agreed to one last update. So sorry (but not surprised) to hear about her experience with hate comments. Ugh. Just wanted her to know that her story was really helpful to many more people than she might realize. As for me, I’m not taking a GLP agonist for a bunch of reasons but hearing Ginger talk about “food noise” was a total lightbulb moment for me. That’s *exactly* what I have struggled with for my entire adult life. My brain thinks about food alllllll the time, whether I’m hungry or not. It isn’t “cravings”. It’s just the monkeys in my head talking about food…making grocery lists, thinking about meals, looking for recipes online, watching cooking shows….all of it. After having that “aha” moment, I’ve been recognizing that food noise and learning how to direct it toward more helpful activities. I’ve been doing this for 7 months now and I lost 40 pounds without needing medication. I’m just training my food monkeys to help me.
