    Font - Posted by u/TenebrousSunshine 5 hours ago Sorry I'm "fat" Have two stories today that have me feeling low yet victorious. I have birthed two large babies, my first in 2018 (almost 8 lbs) and my second in 2020 (almost 9 lbs). Add in COVID, my oldest (who was adopted) and a foster kiddo for awhile, needless to say I've had trouble losing weight and reducing my mom pooch. But I've been working on it pretty hard the past few months and I'm now noticing that a lot of my clothes are getting loo

    Font - At one store, I was simply looking at some clothes when I overheard a guy say "man, why do people look at skimpy clothes when they clearly don't have the body for it?" I subtly sneak a peak and I see him giving angry looks at me (I'm the only other person in this section other than I'm assuming his wife). Now, not trying to body shame, but this guy had NO room to be talking. He was over here looking like Winnie the Pooh with several inches of his massive stomach on display.

    Font - I sweetly turned to him and said "I popped out two big babies, what's your stomach's excuse?" His wife just about died laughing as this guy turned purple. Later at another store trying on some dresses. It's one of those stores where they have a mirror in the dressing room, but have the better multi-sided mirror and better light outside of the dressing room. I popped out to check myself in the better mirror when a woman came over excitedly and said "ooooh congrats on the baby!"

    Font - I was obviously not thrilled because it is a bit of a sore spot with me that I DO still look pregnant after all this time. But instead I just said "thanks! She was born in 2020!" The woman's face fell and she scampered off. Moral of the stories: keep your mouth shut about other people's bodies.

    Font - II-leto +3.4 hr. ago I really loved that first interaction especially the wife laughing. Reply Share 267 5weetTooth 1 hr. ago That wife needs to guy her AH husband a lecture about judging other women. Like seriously who makes a big deal about a stranger's body out loud in front of them? I'm assuming to make them feel small on purpose? What other reason do they have to an an AH??

    Font - mobilegamegeek 4 hr. ago edited 4 hr. ago Oohhh been there. You had awesome comebacks. Edit: just to share a similar story. After I had my daughter, we went to a birthday party and someone looked at me and said "congrats, when are you due?" and I said "last month". The person looked at me not understanding, until I pointed to my daughter who was in her baby carriage. She was mortified and in 2 seconds she had just disappeared from the party. 712 Reply Share

    Font - TinyManatees +1.4 hr. ago I'm a big girl, I hate shopping for clothes. I had my first positive experience in Torrid where the women were actually nice and enthusiastic about helping me, where other stores are incredibly quick to pawn me off on someone else. Good for you on standing up for yourself, I wish I had that kind of confidence! 99 Reply Share

    Font - Accomplished_War_805 · 4 hr. ago Torrid is the store we have needed for a very long time. Not some old lady Lane Bryant stores, but real-time fashion for larger bodies. Love them. 71 Reply Share lookatallthechickens 3 hr. ago Oh my god. I'd never heard of Torrid before (I generally stay out of malls). I'm looking through the website and I'm literally in tears seeing all these curvy women looking attractive in clothes that flatter them. Thank you for this.

    Font - sitcom_enthusiast +2.3 hr. ago I rented office space from a plastic surgeon who performed a number of treatments. I made an appointment for a proper consultation. I wanted to talk about facial implants. When he walked in the room, the first thing he said was, 'we are here to talk about your tummy?' That is such a rookie mistake! What's wrong with my tummy??!! 19 Reply Share :

    Font - whoozywhatzitnow +1 · 3 hr. ago · edited 2 hr. ago I popped out 6 babies. Biggest was 8.2 and smallest was 6.1 and all close in age. My youngest just turned 18 and I still look like I'm about 6-7 months pregnant. I thought it was stubborn belly fat. If I gained weight, my belly got big. If I list weight my belly would shrink. I still looked pregnant though. I recently found out that it's a problem with my stomach muscles. Technically it's called Ventral abdominal wall laxity with Diastasi
