So… let’s talk about my last post.

I got A LOT of comments telling me to gain weight and that I look unhealthy.

Any comments like that from not on will earn you a block. I understand you’re coming from a place of concern- but I am active on being healthy.

I don’t weigh myself, I eat when I’m hungry, I eat a lot of fresh food, I love cooking and baking, I love swimming, I love being out in the sunshine, I eat too much sugar.

Don’t make me feel weird about my weight. I deal with that enough in real life.

    It’s no different to any other kind of body shaming, you’re totally right. I don’t think just “ignoring it” is the right approach - speaking out and telling people that what they’re saying is inappropriate and unasked for is great, if you can.

    It’s especially difficult having these discussions in adult spaces, where a very specific kind of comment style prevails. Good on you for speaking up for yourself. I’m sorry you had to deal with some people massively overstepping.
