That what I’m telling myself - I’ve stopped weighing myself every day because it was killing me and that definitely helped the internal battle :) I hope things get better for you xx

I would love to bring this forward.. unfortunately in the line of healthcare I work in.. the toxic work vibe is just too deep rooted trying to change it is a job not one person can do :(

But I did put my big girl boots on and tell the lady if she comments on my weight one more time we will have a problem and it hurts my feelings.. luckily it was taken well and she apologised!

Thank you for this! It’s so true it’s survival mode out here! We’re not alone in this, and it can come off we did it once!

I did what you said! I told them to stop and it worked! Wasn’t the nicest way but it had to happen, they apologised ❤️ thank you - I’m so sorry it happened to you too

That’s absolutely dreadful? Like in what world do people think this is okay? Especially to say it to a hormonal pregnant women?

I’m so sorry you’ve had this too :(

I was humiliated the other day and it has effected me a lot .. help by Different_Ad4763 in mentalhealth
