way to go, how’d you do it, lose over 100 pounds. I lost 40 one time not too long ago. All by not sitting, and taking swimming classes, and doing sprints with my dog.

I had a surgery called a gastric sleeve. Biggest waste of money plus it made me super manic and ruined my marriage. Its horrific. I’d rather have just been fat like now

I’m sorry @anon78876561.
I’m in the obese category.
It’s so difficult for me to lose weight.

My kids friends used to always ask if I was pregnant. They were kids and it didn’t bug me. From an adult it is so rude. She needs to be knocked down a peg or two.
Now I just get asked if I’m my kids grandma. Real nice.

I’m always asked if I am the kids nanny…

I have the opposite problem. People ask if I’m my daughter’s sister, and they mean it. I’m 15 years older than she.

Yeah I’ve only started getting that after I decided to stop coloring my hair. The good news is I can get 55+ deals at stores and on menus lol.

I’m 51. Had my kids between 29 and 35 so I guess technically I could be their granny
I’m 35 and I’m not obese, but I do have a bit of a coca cola tummy. I’m definitely pudgy compared to what I used to weigh. 180-185 and 5’11". When I cut out coke for water I expect to lose more weight, but I’m putting that off.
My highest weight was 195, when I got close to 200 I decided to stop eating so many snacks.

Nah. I think those are pretty normal ages. I just happened to have mine young: at 15, 18, and 23. It might be considered a sin that two were conceived out of wedlock, but it turned into a blessing in disguise. I ended up getting blood clots at 25 and learned I had developed a rare clotting condition that causes late term miscarriages and could cause both my and the baby’s deaths during child birth. So I was lucky I had them early, or I may never have had them at all.
But I got off topic. I am terrified someone will ask if I’m pregnant. I wear loose tunic tops and fitted (skinny) pants, so you can’t really see my tummy. I definitely have that “mommy tummy” though!

My oldest was conceived out of wedlock and I lived in a highly religious home. Not good
I was had out of wedlock and never met my real dad’s family because they were a bunch of stuffy Catholics that didn’t approve. Stupid old fashioned malarkey if you ask me.

My oldest daughter isn’t my husband’s. Her father’s family treated me like s*** because I was poor and unmarried. I was called so many bad names because I didn’t fit their idea of what their son deserved. Well, good riddance! Glad I was never saddled to that family. And, for the record, I am religious. Luckily, my God is not a God for the perfect (sorry for the religious content).

Well I consider my two “half brothers” to be my brothers. The only weird thing is I’ve got this chunk of DNA nobody else has and you can tell in my personality. I’m really the nicest person in the family, it’s strange because everyone else is cool and mellow. Lots of times I feel like I don’t exactly belong. Would be nice to meet the biological family because I bet they are a lot like me.

When I was first healing from ten years of bulimia and severe laxative abuse, my tummy got very distended from being so cramped up all the time after I stopped the laxatives. I had to take an anti-spasmodic for over a year to get my body back to working on its own because I had destroyed my body’s natural peristalsis.
I was out at a mall one time and a little girl screamed “look Mommy, that lady is having a baby!” I was absolutely mortified. The mother pulled her quickly away because she could see I wasn’t pregnant, but I think I will always remember that experience. It was especially shattering as I was struggling so badly with my body image post-bulimia. I will probably never get over that completely.
I’m sorry it happened to you too! People should just mind their own business! I would probably tell her that too.

Thank you. I’m glad there is support. It does help to hear these words. People don’t mean to body shame but it still hurts. No one understands it might be a medical issue.
