Have you came across with body-shaming?

This is gonna be long!
I have been shamed a little. I lived a sedentary lifestyle so I was gaining fat in my stomach, derrier, and thighs in high school. I never thought of my weight before because I was never a big person, and ignored my mom's body-shaming although it upset me.
My weight gain got worse after high school. I still had a sedentary lifestyle and had started eating junk food all day, every day. My metabolism is high, so I gained it slowly but surely until I had to buy new pants over and over again, to the point it got frustrating.
Then I met a coworker's girlfriend who wore these cool thigh high socks that I liked and I wanted to wear thigh high socks, too. Except, I didn't think they'd look good on my big legs with my big butt. It also made me want to wear crop tops, but I felt insecure about my stomach.
So I decided to change my diet and workout! I still treat myself to snacks, but I mainly eat healthy food, drink plenty of water, and exercise five days a week. I lost weight and can wear the crop tops and thigh high stockings, but I also became healthy. I was always tired and grumpy because I never ate food filled with the nutrients my body needed to function properly. My anemia, though I still have it, was worse then because I didn't eat iron-rich foods. I'm lots stronger, have greater stamina, and can accomplish much more than I could in gym class back in high school. I also lowered my risk of type 2 diabetes, something many of some family and relatives have.
I'm not body-shamed anymore, I feel comfortable in anything I wear, and I don't have to buy pants as much as I used to anymore, but more importantly I think my decision to change my lifestyle was the best decision I've made in my life because I'm able to do so much more than I could have ever imagined before.
Phew that was a lot!

Yeah. I used to have a tumblr page and enjoyed posting pics of my holidays and travels, climbing and outdoor activities and for some reason on almost every post there was always a few people who would proceed to tell me that I need to eat more and how only dogs like bones and how I'm anorexic and stuff. It actually impacted me a lot because I wasn't 100% sure why I was being attacked but I ended up having to delete my blog because I got so worried about posting anything anymore.

Yes. I was criticized to my face, 😉but that was back in the 80's & 90's when bleach blonde ribby coke head stick figures were "supposedly the only sexy" in their mentality. By coincidence & pure innocent fun. I won a small town bikini contest & for a teen had a woman's hourglass body. But I allowed the mentality & criticism, to eat my confidence & spent a long time hating myself.

Life eventually reveals that we are all beautiful and ugly in our own way 😉 lol.

There's always going to be some stupid herd mentality that eats up the medias portrayal of what is beauty. They tailor an ideal via "entertainment" to get you to buy products and services. Don't buy in! This stuff literally pollutes the earth & your psychology.

Real beauty shines from the soul.

I'm sick and tired of hearing what other people think is attractive or not. People constantly communicate like that...why should we care so much.

I'd rather hear what a good person some one is.

I was the one who got targeted. I'm not lying, it hurts real bad. People always tease me that I always eat from kfc, doesn't exercise much, recommend cloth size that is too big for me, blame me for taking up more space in car, never find a bf, looks unattractive when though I wasn't too fat. I developed some kind of low self esteem. But I showed them they were wrong. I got a guy who loves me for what I am, I lost few pounds, started wearing trendy clothes, got a good job and live a normal life. You shouldn't waste your time with a person who teases on your body.

Hmm i am not a slim lady but i can't say i have ever been body shamed.. i guess i wouldnt accept it? some people have confidence and so it's hard to shame them..

I'm usually the one targeted. I'm not gonna lie, it fucked me up.
I've been guilty of some pretty cruel judgments about other people based on their looks, but I've never said a word. I just keep it in my head and tell myself how ridiculous I'm being.

I used to be targeted and I never gave a crap :L
Mainly cuz I never do care what peeps think of me tbh ._.

When I see it happen to others tho, I get seriously upset though, and I am not having it >:(
I think it's stupid

I was targeted really bad when I started to gain a lot of weight because of a medical problem. It got so bad my parents had to take me out of school and start teaching me at home.

I don't know if I would call it "shaming"...my grandmother used to send me slimfast coupons in the mail...I know she had good intentions but it always hurt my feelings a little bit.

I complain about my own body
