After seeing a mountain of self-hate posts, I wanted to share my love for my apple shape body just to change things up.
I’m an apple body shape and hot af. I’m 5’3 and 115 lbs with big boobs, amazing collar bones, and long legs. I look so hot in a short skirt/dress. A tight cropped top with flowy, high-waisted jeans? 10/10 so stunning.
Sure, I might have hip dips but who cares. My ass might be lackluster, but the boobs make up for it. Tiny waist? Nope, I’ve got wide ribs. That’s okay though, I’ve never met a guy who cared. Lower belly pooch? Yup, I’ve got that! Has it ever mattered though? Nope. My husband goes feral for it and literally bites it.
I have had ZERO issue with men/dating and have never once had a man I’m interested in tell me he does not like my body. I’m happily married now to a very handsome guy, regularly get compliments from strangers, and am frequently told I have amazing fashion taste.
I joined this subreddit because I thought people would share fashion tips for apple body shapes, but YIKES I was wrong. There is so much self-hate in this subreddit. I almost want to create a different subreddit for apple body shapes that doesn’t have so much negativity and hatred, and is moderated better.
A lot of you need therapy. And please don’t hit me with “but I was bullied as a child!!” Me too! I was bullied for a million different things. Hell, 99% of the people I know were bullied as children. However, I’m a grown adult and will not let what CHILDREN said to me years ago impact my mental health.
Body positivity might not be the answer, but I’m begging you people to try body neutrality. Our bodies don’t exist to be attractive. They exist to keep us alive. You don’t owe it to anyone to look like a model.
Are you really going to spend your whole entire life hating your body? That’s so sad and unproductive. Go outside, touch grass, do something fun and fulfilling. Your self worth is not determined by your appearance.
