Uh-huh

I sell on the Goth buy/sell pages on Facebook and there are two girls in particular who seem to love telling people their dress size and saying that things are too big for them. It really grates on me and I'm not even 100% sure why.

One girl was asking about a top I had on there that was a size 10. After a few comments back and forth she suddenly tells me that it's for a friend, by the way, and that it would be too big for her as she is a size 6-8. It added nothing to the exchange. It just seemed like bragging.

The other claims to be a size 10-12 and everything she sells or asks about is always 'too big', even when the size is clearly stated. It just makes no sense to me. She is quite rude and snarky too, as though she's purposefully trying to make bigger girls feel bad about themselves.

I'm probably just hypersensitive but damn, it's getting to me!

This Seems Familiar

Every few months I resolve to lose weight and every few months I seem to fail and hate myself. I think the main reason that I struggle is that my body is pretty comfortable at its current weight. Or maybe it's my massive sugar addiction. Or my aversion to exercise. Huh.

I really want to be healthier and fitter and I'm at the stage where spending the rest of my life in a size 14 is looking like a real option. I don't want to have this issue any more. I've been struggling with it for 16 years and it has to stop.

We're going on holiday in 9 days' time so this is far from the best time to embark upon a new regime of health. But then, is there ever really an optimum time?


I'm just so tired of hating my body.
