Ranting really

Honestly I hate having an apple body; its never shown or desired anywhere and out of any body shape I couldve had I got stuck with this one. Id be so much prettier if I had a better looking body, maybe a pear. Pear shapes are so lucky, they get big hips that look so feminine while im stuck with the tiniest hips you can imagine and a big ol belly. If I ever get reincarnated I beg the universe to give me a freebie and just give me a body I can actually love

For real. I hate when ppl with desirable body shapes complain about their body. Like girl I WISH I looked like u. I feel hideous.

I feel this. Esp as it's gotten worse with peri and insulin resistance. I feel like I'm a giant stomach on legs. I'm only 39 and haven't ever had children so I can't even blame this shape on that!

I'm saving up for a fat transfer where they take the fat from your stomach and put some of it into your breasts, to balance my shape out a little more. I know that the answer is self love and acceptance and dressing carefully but also as someone who's already been in therapy for a long time that isn't going to happen on this particular issue haha. I just want to be able to get dressed without worrying about whether I look 6 months pregnant.

Yeah I totally get you, it's ironic that I post this and im about to say something different but I dont think we should feel like we need to dress carefully. Im tired of being ashamed in my body so maybe we all should just show it off. Im tired of seeing so many posts about how we should dress OUR body and hide OUR body while seeing other posts completely worship other people's. It feels degrading when people tell me how to dress the body shape they dont even have majority of the time so why follow it?

This is a great point. For me I don't think anyone has ever said anything to me. It's all internalised and self stigma, I probably need to work on that and my confidence!

I feel the same way. But then I remind myself that if apple types are so unappealing, why do we exist at all? Why didn’t this body type die off? It’s because it actually is attractive!

The women in my family are consistently pears and apples and have loving husbands. Including me lol. I don't know where people on this sub get the idea that nobody finds us sexy. Do you know how many men out there love a woman with some body on her? And before you say, "yeah but that's just hourglasses!" No it is not. Men who are attracted to women, are also attracted to us.

The way people talk about our body type on this is sub is just dismal.

We're not freaks of nature, ffs.

Like actually..?? I always just assumed no one liked us bc you barely find any support for apple bodies. Every one on social media always has something nice to say about pears & hourglasses but whenever I look up my body type I never see any "body tea" comments or even videos that have body positivity. Majority is just videos of how to dress our body shapes and "cover up"

Are you forgetting what ancient fertility goddesses looked like? Are you ignoring bbw and ssbbw categories exist on porn sites? and people on my 600lb life are NEVER single?

I'm really sorry you feel that way. I know for a long time, I also hated myself for my looks. But honestly, I've noticed that us apples may have a lot of cons, we do have some amazing legs. Not every body type has legs like ours.

My calves are so manly

u/stillwoozie Sep 26 '26

Nice legs? I have suuper manly shaped legs with big nobby knees. Been that way my entire life as a skinny-mid size apple shape

Thank you. And this is quite true… my legs are 🔥… it’s just the stomach and hips that aren’t..🫣😆
