TW: weight, body image, body dysmorphia
I’m getting harassed by anonymous people on tumblr over a post I reblogged saying that “skinny” people should leave people who appear overweight alone. Like what’s wrong with keeping your projections & uncertified/unqualified opinions AWAY from people who didn’t ask for them?? It’s always the same story, “I used to be overweight & im not anymore. i’m already working towards 60 lbs less, which is where i used to be”. Like how do you want me to respond to that??? As someone who’s on the bigger side, i know that the pandemic was the worst for me & a lot of people mentally and physically. I’m personally making changes to my lifestyle but im not going to adopt a role for myself to preach to other people that “if you don’t weigh this much, you’re going to die because of a heart attack & COPD.” That’s not my fucking place & if people are happy where they’re at, they’re clearly happier than you are.
