True. I envy people with a little fat in all the right places. Slim but curvy is my ideal


You mean like the slim thick body type?

Whenever I see people talking like either of the PPs I think 'disordered relationship with food and body'

OP, my recommendation of what to do when you see a thin mom is to say hi and ask how her weekend was. Her body has absolutely nothing to do with you and is none of your business.


You turned this into an emotional bowling ball. People are always comparing and judging. That’s human nature.


Np who hovers between 100 and 112. I don't compare but I noticed when I was at my thinnest and eating healthy and exercising that wow there are a lot of unfit fat people in the dmv. A crazy amount. Before judging I observe. I observed a family of 5 watch calories and avoid sauces. The wife husband and kids looked healthy and thin.


They probably have eating disorders as do their kids, or they soon will. Model heathy behavior, counting calories is not healthy behavior for children.

What you think is all about you. It has nothing to do with the other person. If you want to feel the envy, etc., that's fine. If you don't want to, change your thoughts and your actions.

It means that you need to think about what's going on inside your head. It has nothing to do with the other person. I doubt weight is your problem but low self-esteem, low self-confidence might be something you need to work on.

Get more fit if that's something you want to do but that won't fix your view of yourself.

Instead of being jealous, why not eat healthy and exercise?
