i’m begging you all please, if someone in your life has gained or lost weight, do not comment on it. you may think you’re being kind or helpful but you’re not. until i was 20 i found it very difficult to gain weight, struggled with weight gain & had disordered eating etc...

...struggled a LOT with body confidence, people asking me if i was ill, judging my weight, saying i’m too thin or “little”, had everyone watching what i ate and checking my plate when i was finished, feeling ill and tired constantly due to my weight/choice of food intake...

... only in the past year have i gained a (noticeable amount) of weight. gained self confidence, started to like myself - then got bullied on the TL by trolls called me fat amongst other things. and to now have people ask if i’m pregnant, tell me to stop eating so much etc...

...make comments on new stretch marks that i’ve never had before, tell me i need to exercise etc... it’s been a long, long journey and i started feeling better about myself until recently when people found it was okay to comment&now i’m starting to hate it again.

i’m begging you, do not comment. you don’t need to. we don’t need to know that you can tell we’ve gained weight or what they think. words hurt, sometimes even when you don’t mean for them to :)

if you took the time to read this then thank you, it means a lot
