A lot of women grow up with this kind of abuse from other girls as early as elementary school. It becomes normal to them and they continue the cycle

I got it from my mum.

Can you say cabbage soup diet?!

Omggg. My mom and grandma spent a lot of time alternating me between the cabbage soup diet and the tea and toast diet. Then me aunt went into weight watchers and I remember being 11 and bringing the points counter booklet to school with me. “Cabbage soup diet” was like a sleeper phrase.

Wasn't exclusive to women, I was fat shamed a lot and had my weight watchers slider in middle school. Not ok either way 😁

I’ve been both dangerously underweight and way too overweight. People judged either way. Unfortunately I felt worse super skinny, but was much more accepted and treated better. As a far person people were outright shitty with me.

widehipped did sorta imply it was a female cycle which is where the confusion prob came from

And if they didn’t say it, then the first comment would be about how men aren’t the only ones perpetuating abuse, and how it’s women too blah blah blah.
