I get a lot of comments on my weight, especially here lately. I’ve been athletic my whole life.. literally. I was a full time swimmer for like 13+ years. I ran track. I played softball. Etc.
I’m a firm believer if you’ve got the CONFIDENCE, flaunt it. There’s nothing wrong with showing a little skin here or there. Nothing wrong with showing that cute belly ring you got 3 spring breaks ago, or the fresh tattoo, or those abs you’ve been working on for a year. People have been saying things (more than normal).. the past year they’ve said “OMG!! Do you eat?” “You’re too skinny” “You wouldn’t look so sickly (or could have a better body) if you go to the gym do squats and then go eat a lot more protein!”
And this is people,meaning : family, friends, coworkers, random people… legit almost everybody.
Little do these people know.. I eat a dozen donuts at a time on a weekly basis. (Cause I can’t say no after one). I drink sodas. I can count on both hands how many times I’ve eaten veggies in my whole life. I eat take out. I rarely eat salads. And I eat a lot of protein and drink plenty of energy drinks.
Just like fat shaming.. skinny shaming hurts! My Half-sister would probably tell me “oh don’t listen they are just jealous!”
But at this point I’m convinced it’s not just jealousy, people like to be mean for no reason now a days. I’m from a judge mental family background. I was made fun of my big feet, my eyebrows, my frizzy hair, family members have called me white trash and saying im a terrible singer & I’m mentally unstable and need a therapist because I write songs. Some may call it tough love, but that kind of tough love teaches you to hate your self when you start hearing it at such a young age.-Also, I’m not saying I’ve never judged anyone, everyone is guilty of it… -But if someone wants to weigh 500 pounds or 120 and they are healthy then there’s no reason for this hatred.
Love your body and respect others!
