#TheySaid is the best worst thing today. We need to change the convo abt women + their bodies; also brings back SO many painful memories

In tears reading #theysaid. Much gratitude to @oiselle_sally for the reminder that we are each perfectly meant for our own miraculous body.

If you do nothing else with your day, read this thread. I'll do my part to stop the shaming and the negative self talk the follows #theySaid https://t.co/kPNXr6gUVj

"Not everyone can be effortlessly skinny like you." - Many people, to me, while I silently suffered from a severe eating disorder #theysaid https://t.co/dDJjSYv85l

@oiselle_sally My family CONSTANTLY asking me "you train so much, how come you're not skinny?" Because sport determines body type, right? >< #theysaid

@oiselle_sally Body shaming can happen to skinny gals too: "You just wait until you're a teen; 20; 30; 40; menopause...you'll be fat." #theysaid #hurtful

@oiselle_sally body shaming doesn't happen to women only. I'm constantly told "eat up, you could use it," even as I eat everything.
