[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.  [/quote]

I am so sorry about what your daughter went through. I went through something similar in my teens and twenties and agree that the fat shaming and sense of moral superiority based on physical size is deranged.

I have a daughter now and I have realized in the last few years (she is still young) how incredible important it is to throw out and divorce myself from any belief that my value or any woman’s value is linked to their body shape or size. I recovered from my eating disorder years ago but after having a baby I realized I had held on to some lingering beliefs and still aspired to be thin.

Working on letting go of these beliefs and embracing how much important it is to nourish and care for the wellness and fitness of my body, and to embrace my body at whatever size that takes me, is something I am going for myself but also for my daughter. I know if I cannot truly love myself at any size then I am that much less likely to imbue such values onto my daughter. I don’t ever ever want her to experience the self-loathing, fear or food and fear of weight gain I experienced.

It is so important for women to truly stand up for one another. I appreciate your post and I truly believe that whatever size each poster is, I hope that you have love for your self. This is your one life and one body. F the rest and enjoy it. I wish you a man (or whatever your partner preference is) that can truly love you for every size you need to be to be healthy.[/quote]
