Holding off in buying new clothes until I'm fully weaned (hopefully this month!) Then finally doing a closet purge. I'm sad that I'm going to have to throw out most of my pants and I don't think any of my dresses survived my expanding hips and ribcage. I've barely worn them too since they're special occasion dresses. Or that really nice coat. I was stupid and bought everything on the smaller size

Why are people so intent on policing other people's bodies? Pay attention to your own shit instead!

I've learnt to deflect with my mom by sticking 'the doctor said x' and she would shut up about it.

Oh, the other daycare lady also commented on it too. I forgot they're separate incidents. Such a gossipy bunch.

It makes sense I hate wearing shorts and always worn baggy sweater growing up. I had no figure already so I don't need people commenting on it!!

OMG I JUST REMEMBER, the maternity clinic lady said I was so skinny too during my pregnancy and the postpartum checkup. YOU THINK THINK THEY KNOW BETTER.

how much seam allowance is there left on your favourite items? if you have particular favourites even minnor seam adjustments can make a big difference and you get to keep your favourite clothes.

I hate to generalize, but older Asian women tend to be really bold with their weight/figure comments. It's been this way for my entire life. I'm hoping that Asian women my age will change that norm for the better.

I actively dread going to family functions now because I know that someone will make a comment about weight (usually my grandma or aunts) and it'll get excused with "you know, it's cultural." And it is, but that doesn't mean that I shouldn't push back on it. Pushing back is cultural for me, too 😉
