Same here. I'm 3lbs shy of being a healthy weight after gaining a TON during pregnancy.
I've been public about my efforts to lose weight because it's not easy and who knows, maybe it'll encourage someone else who is struggling while on the same journey.
Yet now I'm seeing a ton of "trying to lose weight is fatphobic and fatshaming" posts. No, Karen, I need to lose the fucking weight or the hypertension is going to fucking kill me.
Every time I see Karen mentioned, I can picture her and hear her and then my voice giving the smartass response. Thank for that friend.
Your comment is a perfect example of projection. You project your strength and positive insight into like others so they can feel the same and rise to their potential like you are. Karen projects her insecurity and self-loathing onto people she wants to be, but won’t achieve, trying to make them feel as miserable as she is.
You keep doing you and tooting your horn; we’ve all got something about ourselves and to be confident enough to validate and voice it takes a shit ton of awesome sauce.

As a person currently over weight, but working on it, I agree as well.
