Feeling Pressured

Post Reply New Topic

I am very confident with how I look. I exercise eat a balanced diet etc...

However people still give me crap about my clothing size and start accusing me of secretly wanting to lose weight. I don't! Then people like to compare me to people who have lost a crap ton of weight. It makes me feel pressured and like they are stereotyping me as a plus sized chick who cries and complains about wanting to be a Victoria's Secret model.

Why do people waste their time. I got told by someone who isn't a healthcare professional "you won't live past 30 if you stay like you are" and showed me one of their dresses and said "I'll let you have this dress if you become a size 16 at least".

I'm a size 18/20! I got told "I'd be embarrassed to wear a 3x if I were you. That's really freaking huge." My 44C boobs and my 48" (I think?" Hips are why I need a 3x!




Those tops are a 2x.

These are a 3x




Sigh... people are annoying

I'm unable to see the pictures (technology issue) but based on the way you described yourself, I'd have to say that the comment that you won't live past 30 is ridiculous. It also sounds like you're surrounded by a lot of judgmental people that don't know what they're talking about.

I love your shirt on the first photo!
Probably your round face is adding to the impression - and your face will remain that shape no matter what you do. Maybe experimenting with haircut could help.
Also, check out what bra fitting is (search for british sites), your breasts are definitely not 44C. You may find your right size more comfortable and more flattering.

That's stupid of people but they think in stereotypes. If you have strength, condition and good health - you are fit. The rest is prejudice.

Sorry for my aspie honesty if I weren't delicate.

I looked at your pictures and I think you look good! Some people are just douchebags and don't know that other things besides eating and exercise can keep you from losing weight. Sometimes genetics can be the problem.

At least you're confident in your looks, that's the important part!

On the last picture you had your hair a bit looser and I think it looks better that way.
Also, I envy you your hair! Never been able to grow mine longer than shoulder-length.

Don't let the haters bring you down, you look awesome. Love the earrings in that last pic

This pisses me off so much! Your lifestyle and diet is nobody's business but your own and people should butt out.

It's one thing to be genuinely concerned about a person's health, but telling you that you won't make it to 30? That's a bunch of concern-trolling horses**t. Most people that say crap like that don't actually care about health. They think that being overweight is a moral failure and project all their own insecurities onto you to feel better about their own self image. It's pathetic, isn't it?

Comments like “you won’t live to be 30” are ridiculous. What do people think they are, doctors? You’re gorgeous!
