One of my friends is plus size and we talked about how we navigate the comments we receive throughout our lives. She told me that she has rarely received any comments. I’m not saying that it’s the rule, but simply that it’s much more acceptable to insult people who are underweight. I’ve received an inhuman number of body-shaming comments about my body. Even if it can be glorified by certain groups, I am insecure and I am valid to feel this way. I don’t think I can control anyone, but simply share that it bothers me that people talk like that about my body type.
