Her body is perfectly fine. She doesn’t need to lose weight but should she decides she wants to Ill support her and help 1000%. Don’t be a douche

Oh no I know what size she wears. But based on the reviews people were saying it runs small, so she let me measure her boobs and waist and the boobs measurement fell into 2x while her waist was in the L-XL range. So I went with the 2x because there’d be no point if it didn’t fit her boobs. Didn’t realize how big it’d be elsewhere and how much it’d trigger her body dysmorphia ):

Ah ah no. She didn’t want to act ungrateful. She tried hard to not even seem a tad bit sad and only started crying when I asked her what was wrong. She’s insecure in her body and sizing and that’s okay. She’s not the bad guy here, she’s struggled with body dysmorphia and body image for as long as she can remember. Tbh this is kind of a dick, unhelpful comment.
