Should You Take a GLP-1? Three Questions About Body Image, Comparison, and Self-Love

Should you take a GLP-1? Is self-love really the key to loving others or feeling loved? And what do you do when another woman’s seemingly perfect life makes you feel like you’re losing?

In this episode of Compared to Who?, Heather Creekmore tackles three questions that show up again and again:

Whether GLP-1s can be used wisely, especially when you have a history of disordered eating

Why “love yourself before you can love others” doesn’t come from Scripture

How to respond when you feel intimidated, inferior, envious, or competitive around another woman

What your personal “ruler” reveals about the standards you use to measure worth

Why the answer isn’t more self-love, but finding your identity and security in Jesus

If body image, comparison, or the pressure to change your body has been taking up too much space in your heart, this conversation will help you ask better questions before you take your next step.

**Correction to audio: Heather cites a statistic that says one-in-three are on a GLP-1, the correct number is 11% or closer to one-in-eight.
