From fat comments to skinny comments
Logically I know others people opinions mean nothing. But my god it’s so frustrating when the people who used to comment on how big you were now need to make comments about you need to stop losing weight.
Context - starting weight: 280. Started maintenance at 140. Maintained between 140-144 for a few months. Went through fun little breakup and dropped down to 135 and have stayed there. And according to my height I just hit “healthy” BMI now. (Yes I know BMI means nothing).
Now to a conversation with my mother from this week:
Me - best part of the breakup was getting down to 135
Mom - yeah so and so said the other day you’re too skinny now. Your face is looking pretty skeletal.
Me - my face is not any thinner than yours
Mom - yeah but we have different frames
Me - bitch we have the same frame you’re just used to seeing a lot more on it.
From too fat to too skinny. Can just never win. It’s to the point that I prefer talking to people who didn’t know me before weight loss because they’re the only people who don’t mention it.
And for the record.. my face isn’t skeletal. I’ve always had high cheekbones. They’re just not covered by extra weight anymore!
