Given how offensive many Star Trek ‘fans’ were towards Mary’s weight, especially in the later seasons of Discovery, I have mixed feelings about seeing her choosing to go so far in her weight loss journey.

The increasing use of what was originally medication for diabetes management for obesity and general weight loss is a reality, especially for women in Hollywood.

On one hand the use of these acknowledges that maintaining healthy weights is not just a matter of self control and that behavioural weight loss approaches are largely unsuccessful and unsustainable for more than small losses.

On the other hand, it seems to be giving in to the stigmatization that Mary and others have been subjected to and that Discovery and Star Trek generally were trying to counter.
