Tim & Faith’s Daughter Gracie McGraw: Weight Loss Meds “Brought Back My Eating Disorder”
on Aug 05, 2026 • Updated Aug 05, 2026
Gracie McGraw, the eldest daughter of country music superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, recently opened up about her weight loss and the struggles that have come with it.
In a now-expired Instagram Story, as reported by Page Six, Gracie reveals she started taking the weight loss drug Ozempic in 2022 to help with her polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome (PMOS), which was previously called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
The Mayo Clinic reveals that PMOS is a hormone health issue that affects multiple hormone and metabolic systems, and can lead to ovarian cysts.
Weight loss is usually one of the first things that doctors address in PMOS patients, as weight management can help with “long-term health issues, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.”
What Gracie McGraw Said About Her Experience On Weight Loss Drugs
The aspiring Broadway singer spoke about giving into “skinny culture” and the toll it had taken on her physical and mental health.
She said:
“At that time, I thought it was the best decision I ever made because I finally lost weight and got skinny. Yes, it f–king worked and made my PCOS symptoms easier to control, but it also brought back my ED (eating disorder) and negative views on my body.”
Eventually, Gracie admits she got “way too skinny” but due to the return of “skinny culture,” she didn’t realize it until much later.
“I realized, ‘Holy crap, I have been feeding into my eating disorder this whole time under the guise of this miracle shot.’ I think it was probably one of the worst things I’ve ever done for myself, looking back,” she said.
Gracie is now off the weight loss drug and is beginning to gain weight back, while people are her are continuing to lose weight. She added that she realized she was treated differently by anyone she interacted with.
She said, “In my friend groups and family, and in my own job. I got more opportunities when I lost weight than I ever have had in my life.”
Gracie admitted that even after she lost weight, she still struggled with being compared to her younger sisters, Maggie and Audrey, and her parents.
Gracie reflected on years of criticism about her appearance, saying she has been labeled “fat and ugly” for as long as she can remember. She explained that comments in magazines and across the internet often compared her to the rest of her family, with some claiming she had “different genes” because she was considered “the fat one” and didn’t share the same looks.
Even with those painful experiences, Gracie said she’s in a much better place today. She shared that she’s “doing so good,” though she admitted she still has occasional struggles with her body image.
She also addressed the distinction between body shaming and genuine concern for someone’s well-being. According to Gracie, it’s possible to care about a person’s health while still showing compassion and understanding for what they’re going through.
At the same time, she argued that discouraging people from speaking openly about the issue can be harmful. Gracie said it sends the message that becoming thin by unhealthy means is something to aspire to rather than something that should raise concern, adding that now more than ever, people should be focused on taking care of themselves and those around them.
We are wishing Grace nothing but the best.
