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?

To pile on all the compliments….

Girl. You are SMOKING HOT with gorgeous curves and great legs….and that idiot was trying to compliment you, but was unsuccessful in communicating his viewpoint. 

You’re thick as in thicc (as my kids would say). 

From an old married lady…go rock those jeans in public and laugh as they fall at your feet. 

Or just be comfortable in your skin. 

You are my goal (in another 8ish pounds) and I hope I pull 130 off as well as you do ❤️‍🩹
