honestly? body shaming anyone is a heartless thing to do.
now, that said, I fully admit that I am fat. I'm 5'7", and roughly 237 pounds (prolly a little less now, but I don't weigh myself except when I go to the doctor's office). I was 257, and over the course of about seven months, I've lost 20 pounds, because after I got treated for severe anemia, I started feeling up to just getting up and moving around more.
I recorded my calorie intake at one point, because a specialist said I was eating too many calories, but it turns out that I actually get anywhere between 1,000 to 1250 calories a day, because I'm kinda weird about certain foods (it ties in with me being Autistic, and having a wildly different food preference than the rest of my family). The thing that contributed to me being 257 earlier on was that I was consuming the same amount of calories, but because I felt so weak and could barely climb stairs without getting winded, I wasn't able to move.
Now, I have a favorite dress that is too big on me, same with most of my clothes. Since I'm able to get up and wander around the basement when I get twitchy, and I don't get winded from it, that's what I do. and it has helped. I don't have a target weight, or target size, because then I'd start obsessing over things that I don't need to be worrying about, but when it gets to the point that I feel I need new clothes because stuff doesn't fit right and I can't alter it to fit better (I'd much rather do that than go out and buy new clothes, because a lot of what I have fits comfortably), then I'll worry about new clothes.
But overall? I get up and move around a lot, I try to eat regularly, even if it's not always the best stuff for me (My family is a very meat and potatoes family, and I prefer stuff from all over the world, not just meat and potatoes), and all that matters to me is that I feel good. and if it just so happens that it means I'm losing weight? Added bonus. Haters gonna hate, no matter what, but they're not me, so who cares what they say?
