I hang with a bunch of very wealthy skinny bitches.
I’m the fat one and I can tell you that I feel the pressure. I’ve started to lose some weight, but I have a LOOOONG way to go. But yes, wealthy men expect their partners to look a certain way. And I am much MUCH bigger than the ladies I’m socializing with. I need to lose about 65 lbs, and even then I wouldn’t be as thin as they are. I’m the funny one... with the “pretty” face. |
Oh I’ll add that I don’t feel pressure from my husband. The pressure is from the other ladies. They don’t say anything. That are very nice, but I want to fit in. I want to dress nicely. It’s simply peer pressure. |
Good for you. Not everyone is built the same and I bet PP is just fine. |
Your rant is strange. The entire point is that BMI is a math problem. And at that height and weight, BMI is normal. Please stop you rant. |
So .. the man in your life doesn't really desire a skinny woman, but you feel peer pressure from other women. Sounds like your experience with the original question of the OP would be "no." Good to know. |
There's a person at DCUM who is very impressed with the "iron will" and self-control of maintaining a low weight, but just and only that version of will and control, and (I think) only really jonesing it in women. But it does seem to be a very important rant topic, for them. I think they either found or re-found this thread. But good for them! They can get it out of their system. ![]() |
Into little boy bodies and buying women’s clothes? If the shoe fits... |
My daughter nearly died from an eating disorder. She spent four months in an inpatient facility. She has been in recovery for 18 months, thankfully. At 5’7 and 90 pounds she still wasn’t “skinny enough”. I blame every single woman on this thread fat shaming others, including the OP. You have no idea the damage you do. You have no idea who might be reading this thread. And yes, as women, we are fuking responsible for each other.
And before you fat shame me, I’m 53 years old, 5’5 and 115 pounds. I don’t diet. I eat like a horse. It’s genetics. I am naturally thin. That doesn’t make me better than my 200 pound friend. |
OMG, I hope your daughter is doing well now. Your post does bring it back to reality. It’s the women who post on here that anyone with BMI over 20 is going in with obese mindset. This is awful. Health is not the same thing as weight as the pp noted. |
Most of the fat shaming I see comes FROM girls with eating disorders. |
Previous poster, perhaps your latent or subliminal preocupation or concern with your own weight, dimensions, and thinness- as articulated and expressed in your final paragraph - influenced your daughter's attitudes. |
I agree! The fact that you can eat like a horse probably had a lot to do with your daughters issues. And FYI I don’t believe in the genetics BS. It’s all a matter of activity level vs calorie intake! I’ve proved it to myself over and over . I can eat like a horse myself when on a whirlwind travel adventure tour but when I’m home and sedentary I will gain weight ! |
And vice versa. Most skinny shaming comes from overweight women. |
No |
What? Did you read what the other woman wrote about her daughter? Did you get it? |
