I'm proud of my weight loss and you can't change my mind
(For context, I made this post earlier and got some...interesting comments)
Why do you have to shame me for my starting weight? Just because my starting weight is your goal weight doesn't mean I didn't feel healthy at my starting weight. I'm not trying to shame anyone for their weight, but it doesn't make sense in my head. I just wanted to show that my weight loss (even with a lower starting weight) wasn't entirely for an aesthetic purpose, but that there were health improvements too. It was to encourage people that weight loss shouldn't purely be how we look. I would get distressed and due to body dysmorphia, think I had made no progress, but thinking about how my health improved, I would feel better.
"Lol same, TIL my goal weight needs to be “stickbug”" this comment was so unnecessary. I never said people had to have my weight at my height. I feel comfortable with my weight and my current height. I thought this was a community where we can share our stories and motivate each other.
""Very heavy" at 135? 😳 I'm 5'1 and that's roughly my goal weight." As I mentioned, my family is all on the lighter side. We are Korean and the women in my family never go over 115lbs. I was 135lbs and it was too much for our bodies. Every body is different. I am not trying to shame anyone. It just doesn't make sense. Congrats for having 135 as your goal weight? I never said that it was heavy on you? I literally said "I'm 5ft2 or 158cm. Since I'm so short, 135lbs was very heavy for me." FOR ME. Not for every 5ft2 human being. While the BMI scale is not the most accurate measure of things, it is applicable to most of the human being population. 5ft2 at 135lbs is considered close to overweight. So yes, it was too heavy for me.
I just wanted to show some motivation and share my weight loss because I'm so proud of it. But instead I get thrown with this. I am still fatshamed by my parents and family, and haven't been able to express my pride anywhere so I thought this place would have been good. I guess I was wrong. I show my success and people immediately assume that I'm shaming them. I am not.
I hope everyone continues to lose weight safely and reach their goal weights <3 good luck
