  • Thank you so much! I’m really working on it. I’m lucky to have my kids and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I don’t even think I ever cared about my mom pooch until I started seeing it be a thing online. I just assumed it was what happened. I wasn’t ashamed until I was told to be. The body “positivity” movement can be so damaging if not handled with care. That’s my biggest gripe.


  • Thank you for the words! That’s a part of why I love this community so much. I’m in therapy for body issues and I’ve come a long way. I know in the long term, I will be ok. I’m healthy and in decent shape. I’m strong AF too lol I’m learning to be at peace with my body and live in true neutrality. That’s my goal, to just love what my body can do and how far it’s going to take me. That’s why she’s so harmful. She sets back women like me everyday.


  • She looks so thin and hourglass here. I was having a low self esteem day and this sent me down a spiral. I know I shouldn’t let it but it’s hard not to. I hate to admit I’m on ozempic (AND IT ISN’T WORKING THE WAY I WANT IT TO 😫) but I also eat very mindfully and I work out 3x-4x a week. I have a physically demanding job where I lift and I’m on my feet all day. I’ve not seen a change in my body in 6 months. I’m also 38 and have a mom pooch. I’m not horribly overweight. Size 8 at 5’1 but my body isn’t what it used to be.

    I am recovering from disordered eating, and while I know it’s editing, it’s still so hard and damaging to see. Especially from someone who has built a platform on body positivity. All she does is make me see the “flaws” in me that I didn’t even know were a thing. Dark armpit. Belly button. Side Belly when laying down.
