“It took me quite a bit of courage to put this picture up. I’ve been seeing so much body shaming recently (“fat and skinny” shaming), and I’ve experienced it a lot myself from and strangers and friends growing up. I’ve had a lot of health problems and unexpected weight loss, and my doctor and I are still trying to figure out the cause. Body shaming is hurtful for all women. As women we all have insecurities, and instead of making remarks like “eat a cheeseburger” or “you’d look great if you lost like 20 pounds” be mindful of your hurtful words. In no way am I trying to troll for compliments, my message is to be weary of the things you say to people.Try giving a compliment to random strangers and see how their face lights up 🙂 nobody is perfect, and you don’t know their situation. Rant over”
