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.
I think you have the right attitude. I’m old as hell in internet years. I have been very in shape. I have been skinny. I have been fat, and now I have a dad bod. I am a millennial that has lived over half their life. I’m not trying to attract anyone.
You shouldn’t put up with anyone putting you down. Your body is perfect the way it is. I am subscribed to 1 porn community. It’s Indian girls, and it’s because the women there aren’t perfect by western standards, but they are the most realistic examples of women I’ve seen on the internet. At least around here.
Anyway, I have to take kids to school. You seem like you have a pretty good head on you shoulders. Do what makes you happy and don’t worry about the rest. There will always be people to criticize your choices, but you have to block them out.
I hope you have a great week.
Thank you.
Also thank you for taking the time and having a conversation about this tricky topic.
We all want to be treated well and with kindness regardless of how we look. I hope the school run is surprisingly enjoyable and that your week is filled with yum treats
