We often have a terrible relationship with our weight. We’re too fat, too thin, our weights on the wrong part of our body etc. How much does your weight bother you?

Please don’t post your weight, numbers can be triggering for people with a history of disordered eating

    • There’s a general pattern here.

      When women are subservient and “in their place” the fashions are women with “some meat on their bones”. You know. “Zaftig.”

      When women get a hint of self-reliance and power, suddenly the beauty standard changes. People held up as an icon of beauty are suddenly “fat” and “disgusting”. Only women who look like they’re starving themselves are attractive.

      This is a pattern that once you see you can’t unsee.
