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
My biggest issue with my weight is feeling like I can’t talk to anyone about it because I struggle to keep weight on, rather than lose it. I had to see a nutritionist years ago because I was bordering on underweight. Normally I can keep to a specific number, but when I stop paying attention I start loosing it.
I’m “skinny fat”. But I can’t talk to many people about the problems of maintaining weight because from the outside they think I’m fit and healthy and should shut up because gaining is “easy”.
I have cystic fibrosis so gaining weight has been a lifelong struggle for me, I had a feeding tube for ten years because I wasn’t able to stop losing weight when I was really sick. All the “must be nice” sneers are especially obnoxious when your low weight is part of a vicious disease actively killing you. Everyone is incredibly rude about it, accusing me of having an eating disorder, rude remarks, dirty looks… I very much believe all bodies are beautiful bodies and it’s hurtful when larger women shit all over me despite the fact I defend them
I went through a bad period where my life basically imploded a couple years back. My mental health took a beating as a result and between that and the stress i lost a shitton of weight. Mentioned i’d dropped down to the same weight i was at 17.
The number of “congrats” comments i got were sickening. A fucking 45 year old woman should not weigh the same as a 17 year old active gymnast
