Worried about piling the weight back on, once you come off Ozempic? Don't! You just need to acquire this one, simple habit!
As a long term slim person, I absolutely swear by it. (Plus, in related news: the 90 minute treatment which took my belly from Before to After ooooooooh…)
It is The Thing No one Can Deny So Everyone’s Just Trying Not To Think About It, right? In all the frothy, giddy excitement around the weight loss jabs, in the hoards and the highs of the Nouveau Thin, the women (and men) denied slimness for decades and decades, but who have suddenly, finally, miraculously been granted it, c/o Ozempic (Ozzie P™

Will 2025 be the summer of The Thin? Will we all be back to lumpy bumpy normal, come 2026?
Dunno.
I do know one thing about being slim though. Speaking as someone who has been for years and years and years and years. And because I know some other slim people, and have observed something about them - something I mirror. It’s that enduring slimness invariably requires one… Actually, “habit” is probably the wrong word. “Lifestyle consideration” might be closer to the mark.
Because to live your life as a longterm thinnie, or slimmy, or whatever, you must also embrace just one concept, wholeheartedly and completely. One approach to living. And it’s
