I posted this last night on a different subreddit to celebrate my team's win after 2 decades, until an asshole started harassing me calling me fat, saying I need to cut and go to gym and I better be on weight reducing pills because I look disgusting.

I rarely ever post pictures on socials, and I have a really weird anxiety about wearing shorts for some reason. Still I decided to stop thinking so much and share a celebratory moment with anyone who cares. But after reading what this guy said I've been overthinking the whole day, shaking from anxiety and wanting to cry.

Feel like all the attention goes to my belly

I've been bulking and hitting the gym but, I just feel like I cannot put on muscle. My BDD is going crazy because I just feel too big, too small.

To make matters worse, I cannot go to my partner for any sort of affirmation or reassurance. My partner CANNOT tell me that he finds me attractive. At this point. I firmly believe my partner is actually truly not attracted to me. My BDD is exasperated by his issues and it's just off the charts today.

TW for weight shaming!!

We hadn't seen my husband's family in a while because they're kind of toxic. About 30 minutes into our visit his aunt commented that I've gotten fat. I've gained some weight but I don't think I look drastically different. I've been struggling with confidence and I feel like today was a huge setback for me.

I’ve always fluctuated weight wise, but I’m really proud of myself recently for focusing on getting stronger not just shrinking! I’ve started posting publicly on Snap with daily affirmations to keep myself and others motivated. What’s your favorite affirmation you give yourself? 🖤
