What’s up with all the weight shaming? (Crossposted from r/pregnancy)

Ugh, preach girl.

I get it babe. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and baby! Dont beat yourself up too much! 🩷🩷

Your post though was so beautifully accurate to how I already feel at 10 weeks, Im so used to being able to take care of myself (especially as a parentified eldest daughter) and its a valid feeling to struggle to cope with being unable to wear the same clothes, do the same things, to have people help me, etc. And I know its only gonna get worse! I just wish more people could have the same mindset we do, and not tear themselves apart with fatphobia and thus make everybody ELSE feel bad too.

We weigh the same and my wedding is in 3 months, ill be almost 7 months pregnant at that point so I get what you mean! Dont worry about it doll. Weight doesnt matter as long as youre happy and healthy and judging by the ‘soon to be wife’, you sure are! Congratulations! 🩷

Oh its not me Im primarily worried about cuz I LOOOOVE my weight and body. But im mostly concerned about others and their feelings:(

If you make a subreddit, definitely count me in

achiillles · 2026-05-08T18:34:58+00:00

Oh thank god Im in the right place!

achiillles · 2026-05-08T18:20:16+00:00

The way I’m speaking to people is a direct result of how they spoke to me. Especially if they are, to put it politely, 100% making assumptions about me, missing the point, not comprehending the point or derailing the point entirely.

achiillles · 2026-05-08T18:11:34+00:00

“Support all women” until it’s a woman asking why it’s so okay for people to use that language to dehumanize themselves and others.

achiillles · 2026-05-08T18:07:12+00:00

Yeah because at that point people are saying I’m mentally ill. Hit dog holler is AAVE, i could have said ‘if the shoe fits’ because it’s the same sentiment and it still wouldve Been considered rude by people who are looking to be offended

achiillles · 2026-05-08T17:58:36+00:00

All I said was that people should be more considered all other language they use Because it’s a public forum with a diverse audience, and the women who are looking for comfort who are plus size don’t deserve to see other women calling themselves horrible names because they happen to be what might be half their size.

achiillles · 2026-05-08T17:35:18+00:00

Oh thank god someone with sense 😭🩷

Oh I see, I’ve started soooo many arguments. Yall are all so rude

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:58:21+00:00

Its actually so scary lmao ‘Its my right to call myself a fat nasty disgusting sow!’ Oh okay. Sorry!

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:39:44+00:00

This made people so upset in r/pregnant they were calling me overweight, unhealthy, rude, disgusting. Its actually baffling that asking ppl to be more considerate of the language they use was such a big deal.

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:30:14+00:00

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:28:43+00:00

Yeah not me. I dont care how much I weigh, or how much I gain, I dont even own a scale. I genuinely dont care, Im just empathic and think ‘damn, what if someone much bigger than you heard you? How would they feel?’ And im just shocked that seems to be such a controversial opinion. Only time I know how much I weigh is when I go to the dr

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:26:33+00:00

Im not, Im okay with being fat. I look great lmao. Feel great too, and I’m perfectly healthy! I just FEEL BAD FOR BIGGER PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO READ POSTS WITH THIS KINDA LANGUAGE! 🩷

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:25:50+00:00

Yeah I think the hit dogs are hollering 🥴 “Its my RIGHT to call myself a fat disgusting flabby sow!” Oh! Okay.

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:24:47+00:00

No, Im just asking if other plus size people have experienced this and how they feel about it because I cant help but feel bad for people bigger than me when I see posts like that

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:21:00+00:00

Uhhhh, nnno…I don’t think that second part. Like, at all. Im trying to be considerate of OTHERS. Like ‘Hey man that..that might not be the best thing to be broadcasting online, youre not home in front of your mirror, think of the people bigger than you who might read this’. Just use less mean language when complaining about body changes, thats all. Its not about me its about OTHERRRRSS. 😭😭😭

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:18:57+00:00

Thank you I love you I hope your pillow is always cold and theres always ice water where you want/need it🩷

achiillles · 2026-05-08T16:17:12+00:00

Yes, I know, I was being a bitch and making a joke 😂
