It's crazy to me how far she leans forward to extend her neck and try to camouflage her body! She really needs to embrace her reality or change her habits. I hate that women have to feel ashamed of their body in a way most men get passes for. It's such a double standard. If she wants to eat all the things then she should be proud of herself, not hiding at home in a shame spiral.
As a large gal myself, I have fought my entire life to be a certain size, but my body chemistry just does not metabolize food in a way other people's do. I don't eat crap, a rarely eat added sugar (sugar exists in everything), I exist on a strict, whole foods diet. I do not eat premade or prepackaged food (like frozen dinners). I make everything from scratch. No chips, sodas, fast foods, or dairy. I despise mayonnaise. Basically nuts, grains, vegetables, and meat proteins. I try to keep my calorie intake around 1500 calories but I still gain weight. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, low cholesterol, normal thyroid, I have been tested for about everything you can imagine. I was killing myself trying to maintain a weight that my body literally couldn't. So I decided rather than fight it, embrace it. I am so much better mentally now. I still get mad when I see images of BLAB eating all the things that are bad for you, I know when people look at me they immediately think I'm shoveling that same garbage in my mouth daily. My reality is my body overproduces fat. I am in a study right now trying to diagnose what's going on with me. I am literally a lipoma farm. I've had two giant, football sized lipomas removed from my body in the past 6 years, no exaggeration. (Dr Pimple Popper, anyone?) There's nothing I can do to stop these from forming. I don't care what people think of me anymore because I know my reality, I don't give a damn what people think of me, physically. I never once thought to pose a certain way or filter my shape. It's gross what society makes women feel like they need to do for acceptance, or to be accepted by men. I'd rather be alone than be scrutinized by my partner.
