I Struggle With My Body Image

It's been hard lately. Today I ate over 700 calories for dinner. I'm over my count and I didn't manage it today or yesterday. I JUST lost 10 lbs. and I need to keep it off. People have said something. "Baby fat" one person put it. Months ago getting screamed at for it. They say fat shaming works but I really think it depends on the person.

I should have probably said I'm about 140 lbs. and 5'4. I'm not very big but I'm not thin, thin either. I agree though, everyone should be happy with who they are. I was upset because I tried really hard and STILL someone mentioned my belly. I agree, it isn't perfect. I was modeling for someone so I guess I should have expected it. But every time I do it I walk away feeling worse than I felt before!

First of all, You do this for you not other people. Second congrats on losing 10 pounds I know it isn't easy. I went through it too when I was a kid. Just find out how much you need daily and eat slightly below that and keep that constant and you'll lose weight at a healthy rate every week. A lot of calculators online exist but you kinda have to play around with your calories to find out what amount is right for you. Best of luck to you.

Dont pay any attention to those dumbass remarks.....all a person needs to do is be proud of who he or she is and do their very best!!

I prefer women a little bigger....skinny dont turn me on!! Hope you dont mind me tellingyou that!!

@Justme5969 you're sort of contradicting yourself here - you're saying be proud of who you are and then you're implying that bigger is better than skinny? Everybody is beautiful and [b]everybody[/b] should be proud of who they are. No body is better or worse than the other. Beauty lies deep within and I don't understand why one need to compare bodies to bodies.

@SW-User very true......thank you for pointing that out!! Was just trying to get her to realize that bigger women are still very beautiful and sexy!!

Congrats on losing those ten pounds. I prefer a cute little belly on a woman, those girls with chiseled washboard abs always kinda freaked me out lol. A round belly is super cute! But it's good you want to take care of yourself as well, and are taking steps to be healthy.

Just be your self girl. I always though fat shaming was wrong. Or any kind or any kind of shaming for that matter

People can keep their negative opinions to themselves...
