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.

    So imma weigh in…

    Weight has so much baggage connected to it. Being too thin- being too large. Regardless what gender you are… there’s always something to be said. There’s no winning and it’s bullshit. I decided long ago I’m not going to change my body for anyone but myself.

    Unfortunately not everyone else has come to that conclusion. I will not tolerate any form of body shaming. I want to be involved in a community that won’t tolerate it. There are so many contributing factors to someone’s weight; mental health, physical health, drug use, diet restrictions, genetics. Unless we KNOW that someone is engaging in unhealthy behaviours- let’s keep our mouths shut.

    Also. Thanks for the comments. Printing them out right now.

      I love you and everything you stand for. As a tall, skinny dude myself, it makes me feel validated that someone is standing up for this. Like, you’re a model, but not all of us are, sometimes people are born with high metabolism, and it’s not a problem that I’m perpetually skinny.

        The love is absolutely reciprocated!

        We’re all just people who wanna be treated nicely. Regardless of body and looks.
