Someone called me a “thicker girl” when describing me today - got me feeling a bit discouraged with where I’m at in my journey (5’4” 130lbs) Rant
How do you you guys handle stuff like this? I didn’t say anything to the person because I don’t think they necessarily were saying it negatively, but idk I hate when people comment on women’s bodies like that.
I’m probably being overly sensitive but hearing that made me feel like I’m kinda failing in my fitness journey. I’ve plateaued here at the 130 mark (goal weight is 120) and this comment has gotten in my head a bit. I kinda thought I looked average right now, but didn’t really considered myself to be “thick”
I definitely carry my weight in my waist and hips unfortunately. But we all know you can’t do “spot” weight loss.
Any encouragement is welcome. How do you handle these situations? What do you tell yourself?

I used to take it very personally but then the worst thing that ever happened was when I was seeing this Italian guy. He said youre a nice person, very pretty but would be perfect if you didn’t have grabs my stomach. like literally out of nowhere and out of context. I decided after that moment im not going to let anyone, especially a man make me feel some type of way about my body. I would embarrass the person and ask them why they felt comfortable pointing that out
