I hope people actually respect his wishes

agreed. more men need to speak up about this too. esp with the toxic Marvel Men roid-body in hollywood.

Yes. I gained weight and no one gave a shit that I existed. I lost it and then some and suddenly I’m someone worth talking to, and when they only mention my weight loss, it shows where my value is to them. That hurts.

[dalpaengi]

that’s so hurtful! I’m so sorry you’re experiencing that. people are always playing into desirability politics and honestly that always has roots in ableism. but we are more than our bodies.

[kimda]

Thank you so much for your comment ❤️ And you’re 100% right.

I need to lose weight but I'm not ready for society to see me as worthy when I finally do.

[lovedforaday]

he's right.

Yes, it always feels inappropriate even if the comment is technically harmless, always makes me uncomfortable and my mood dips for a long time. Im fat and if i lose weight and someone notices and even says looking good! My mood tanks asap and im uncomfortable around them for days 💀💀 i just dont wanna be perceived lol

Yeah even when people think that they’re complimenting you and only being nice, it’s not their place to say anything. I lost some weight a few years back and had so many comments about how much better I looked, it really made me paranoid about what people must have been thinking of me before in that case when there was such an emphasis on how much better you look now. Sure people meant it as a compliment, but it’s not like thin you and fat you are two different people, and it’s kinda weird when people act like they are

And over the past couple of years I’ve put a lot of the weight back on as well, only now all of those ‘compliments’ mean that I’m even more aware of what people are probably thinking of my body :(

I lost about 20 pounds due to untreated anxiety and an ulcer and so many people commented on how good I looked when I actually constantly felt like shit. It was so disheartening.

"i just don't wanna be perceived"

completely agree. and not just by others, by my own self as well. i wish i could be completely neutral about my body and not be hyper aware of it every moment of the day.

This is how I feel when I start going to the gym… like pls I don’t wanna hear it cause I’m gonna fuck up.
