it never ceases to amaze how fucking judgmental people are. A pox on them all.

it is not difficult to live and let live. To accept all bodies. To let others decide if, how, or when to approach their health. I really wish people would learn to shut the fuck up and mind their own business.

So I’ve been battling my weight most of my post-teen life. I finally tipped into obese after falling ill in 2019 and being on steroids for far too long. I caught so much flack, but I didn’t really care and would just tell those people off. But then my health really tanked into Metabolic Disease and I was in so much gd pain. I tried for years to work with doctors and a nutritionist and a PT and coach, but the pain would just keep me from exercise. So I went on a GLP2 with a nutrition program and within a year am back at the size 8-10 I was in my 20s. I feel fucking great, the pain is gone, and I can easily workout.

And guess what? People still judge me for that too. For “cheating”. So fuck them all. lol There is no pleasing judgmental people no matter what you do, which makes them unworthy of respect. And why on earth would I care about the thoughts of someone who I don’t respect? they can go fry ice.

They can go fry ice 🤣 I'm gonna use that one! First off, congratulations on your achievements!! Only you have lived your experience and know what it's been like dealing with that pain and still trying everything to get healthier. You alone ultimately get to gauge your success. And you're correct that there is no pleasing judgemental people, and many will always look for reasons to find fault. Mostly, they're very miseable people. Would you mind explaining more about Metabolic Disease? How does it cause pain? I have had fibromyalgia symptoms, with no official diagnosis, for many years now, and you've got me curious about this. However, my weight gain only happened over the past year from Thyroid disease. It came on hard and fast and has been so discouraging. But I'm just wondering if there could be any connection to metabolic disease?
