It's hard to believe people when they tell you that you're beautiful and your size doesn't matter when you have others tell you that you're not worth it, you're fat, and openly make fun of your body out in public. Publicly comment on and like women who are the complete opposite of you and wonder why you're so self conscious. Bitch you're the reason why I'm so self conscious, why my self-esteem is in the toilet, why I don't believe that I'm good enough for anyone. And to top it off I had some random old guy make fun of my lower legs today... Saying that "her lower legs are as big as my waist ...she doesn't need to be here". I had gone to to Greggs for the first time in a while because I wanted to go and get a coffee and a sandwich.

I really didn't need the comment from the old guy when I'm already down. I already feel like shit, worthless and not good enough. I'm done Sad

I'm sorry some people utterly suck. That says far more about their worth than yours.

I hear you. I see you. You are enough.

Did you say anything to him? I’m sorry he spoke to you like that and that some people think this is okay! It’s 100% not okay!

I’m so horrified that you have to listen to random comments like this. Google upfront confidence revolution. They do some great stuff for rebuilding women’s confidence. Maybe it will help you to rebuild yours. Not that you should have to. Your confidence shouldn’t be being knocked on the first place. im outraged on your behalf that people make these comments.

I think situations like those are why the phrase ‘fuck off’ was invented

What a dickhead.
I would've retorted.. I may be "insert appropriate word that you use to describe yourself" but i can fix that.. you're all day fucking ugly mate.. good luck. But then I'm petty 🤣.
Sending you a hug op xx

Thanks everyone. I wish I'd said something to the rude old man.
