Yesterday's outfit has become one of my faves...these flannel shirts are AMAZING for layering and keeping warm on cold days! This one is by Levi and is super soft & cosy. I paired it up with a basic black round-neck Vila top and my black Ted Baker skinnies. I also just wanted to address some of the body shaming comments I've recently received on many of my outfit pictures. One comment in particular which I saw on my Instagram said something along the lines of "her legs aren't that skinny in real life, please stop with the Photoshop". I just want to state for the record that I have never ever distorted or Photoshopped my pictures to change the size of how I look. When I post an Instagram, it's just from the camera on my phone, I filter it and plop it up...that's it. I've only ever used Photoshop to alter the levels/contrast/lighting of my pictures (and these are the higher quality ones I take sometimes for my blog). I honestly find comments like that so hurtful because I would hate to think that anyone actually believes these kinds of rumours. Obviously when you pose for a picture there are more flattering angles which will make you look slimmer I'm not going to deny that I do that...of course I do! But truthfully I never want my body to look "skinny" - I actually love how it looks with some curves.
It hurts my feelings when people say "you've lost too much weight" because 1) I know I haven't and 2) I'm a perfectly healthy weight for my height. I'm 166cm and 55kg, according to a recent nurse's check-up which puts me in a totally normal BMI. 3) I am also a lot more toned than I ever have been as I'm working out and exercising consistently for the first time in my adult life so that might be a reason why I look a bit different than before 4) I do not diet. I can't diet as I love food too much and I love to eat! I just try to have a normal, balanced, healthy diet where I eat everything in moderation!
I don't take it as a compliment if people say I'm "skinny" just like how I don't appreciate it when I'm told I look fat. Both are body-shaming adjectives and they're not very nice for any woman to hear, no matter her shape or size. My focus is on being healthy, strong and happy. I hope you guys can see where I'm coming from & what I'm trying to say!
If you'd like to watch vlogmas day 15, here it is! It basically involves me going on a little rant about makeup vs. no makeup (I'm very ranty today...ha ha sorry about that!), goofing around with Emilia & Eduardo, brushing their teeth and putting them to bed! Nothing very exciting but hopefully you enjoy :)
Oh Anna, I am so sorry you have to deal with people like that. You literally have the perfect body - it is a healthy one, and one that you have worked so hard for and can be proud of. And while I am at it, I think you look STUNNING with no make up, just saying! xx
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to them Anna, you are not too skinny you are perfect. They ar probably just mad that they don't look as good as you do especially with two children.
ReplyDeleteAnna you are beautiful and healthy! It has been such an inspiration seeing you and Jonathan get more into exercise in the vlogs. Don't let the haters get to you. x
ReplyDeleteI think you look fantastic and I'm super proud of you for keeping up this routine of exercise, especially with how busy you are! I'm lucky if I work out for 5 mins once a month because I have too much to do at uni! �� but an excuse is an excuse and you're deffo sending me in the right track to get my butt in gear �� keep up the amazing work Anna, you look amazing and you're doing great �� hope you have a lovely Christmas aswell filled with lots of yummy mince pies ����
ReplyDeleteYou're perfect ! Stay positive :)
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing Anna! Deffo would just ignore the haters because it all come down to one thing at the end of the day! But yea you look amazing and to be able to do these workouts and be a at home worker whilst looking after emila and Eduardo I deffo think you need a medal or two! 😂 I can barely get up an exercise for 5 minutes haha! I'll get there one day though and you're deffo my motivation! Keep doing what you do Anna cause it's amazing. Also hope you have a lovely Christmas filled with lots of mince pies and cream 😍 💖
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you posted this Anna. I wish the whole world can read it and understand because people always seem to get it twisted when it comes to calling someone skinny vs fat. To me it is the same, just offensive. I too am called skinny all the time by practically everyone I know. And although I have been "skinny" all my life, it still hurts to hear sometimes. I eat everything I like and NEVER diet or exercise which I should but my weight is still the same either way! That just shows how shallow people can be and it's too bad for them. You are beautiful inside and out Anna and I am proud of where you've gotten with your journey in becoming more healthy and you should be too! Keep your head up darling :)
ReplyDeleteWe are the same… People have told me anorexic so many times and it's frustrating because i don't think they even know what anorexia means 🙄
DeleteWell said Anna! You are beautiful inside and out. Lots of love - Camille
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful, Anna, and I agree! I want my 1 year old granddaughter to grow up in a world where she is accepted for who she is and not worried about "skinny" or "fat", or "diets"! I totally get where you are coming from and you look healthy and happy! Ignore the unflattering comments. Why do they even come here?!
ReplyDelete<3
ReplyDeleteAnna you look beautiful always! Ive been told my whole life Im too skinny! and its hurtful......then i gain wait and hear hear more negativity ...again hurtful when im normal for my size because im only 5'1"! People are so mean especially when they dont know you in real life. Maybe they and angry with themselves or the way they look so they want to be hurtful to others.....I dunno.....especially here on the internet
ReplyDeleteAnyway I hope you dont let them get to you too much ....I love your blog and youtube and BTW our daughters are both 9/11 babies and I also lost my dad in 2008.....so I always feel like I can relate to you :)
hugs and warm wishes from America!

Anna, I am so glad you posted about this! I know how you feel about the makeup! It affects your mood and confidence; same with clothes. There are days when I need to run a quick errand but I don't want to because I am in sweats and glasses! No girl can say the are unaffected by how they look; dressed up or down! And you've motivated me to start watching my diet and exercising! I was in pharmacy school for 6 years then graduated and am doing a 1 year medical residency. Both my friend and I talked about how we haven't been "skinny" since before school. Stress and life has taken it's toll! BUT I did lose an inch off my waist already. And you are my motivation. I think it's great you talk about this, not to fight against the haters, but to remind the rest of us that when people say mean things, we shouldn't feel bad about ourselves! PS at the beginning of the video, without makeup, I thought "she looks glowing in healthy and happy way!"

I love your hairstyle in this vlog :) P.S. you look beautiful with and without makeup and your muscle tone is totally apparent with your daily workouts for the last several months. Keep up the great work! We love you :)
ReplyDeleteAnna you don't have to explain yourself, we all know you are an amazing person and how much hard work you do raising two children and uploading videos everyday . You are one of my favorite youtubers and we all love you so much and remember haters gonna hate no matter what you do. Love you <3 <3
ReplyDeleteAnna which filter do you use as I love it reply plz
ReplyDeleteI can't believe people would say that you've photoshopped your photos to alter your appearance! That's incredibly rude! Wish some people would just keep their comments to themselves sometimes - if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all! I agree with you, I'd much rather be healthy than to be "skinny"! Em xx
ReplyDeletehttp://edoublemamurray.blogspot.com.au/
Anna your a beautiful and very funny lady. I love your vlogmas. I'm going to miss them. Have a merry Christmas
ReplyDeleteYou have been a constant source of inspiration for me. Being Italian, we can't help but love good food! You own it, girl. You're setting an amazing example for your kids and that's what matters in the end. People are always going to make comments because of this or that - a body is just a body. If it ain't your body it ain't none of your business. <3
ReplyDeleteHello There Friend, First I just want to say love yours and Jonathan's vlogs! They make me smile and laugh (Emilia & Eduardo are just so darn cute). Second of all you do look healthy and it's great to see a stay at home mom taking care of her self because if your not feeling good how can you take care of your children. Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving your blogs and vlogs. Would you be able to do a planning video? Like how you plan out your week And just organization in general how you organize things. You seem very organized
ReplyDeleteWell said Anna! Everyone thinks that every girl uses Photoshop on their Instagram photos. I for one, like you, only put a filter on them. I don't see the point in editing them. I think it's a waste of time.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think you look lovely. Flannels really suit you. I love seeing your's and the kids' OOTDs on your Instagram. They are adorable and you always look beautiful.
Great post Anna. I totally agree with you. Don't let the negative people get down. Remember how someone treats others is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves. You are a beautiful Mom and you look great!
ReplyDeleteAnna, you are amazing, an inspiration and don't give the trolls any head space, jealousy is a horrible trait and you are beautiful inside and out xx
ReplyDeleteWell said Anna! As women, we should not be criticising each other's body shapes...we have to stick together to make sure the little women in the world know they should be confident with whatever size or shape they are!
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean :(

Anna, please don't believe any of the hurtful comments you read, they're just jealous :) You are and have always been beautiful, (I'm sure many of your viewers/readers would agree). People that post these hurtful (and untrue) comments are just looking for a way to boost their own confidence by putting other people down, please don't listen to them, because I'm sure there are far more people who would think you are an amazing mother, who really is beautiful inside and out (sorry if this sounded a little corny) x
ReplyDeleteUgh that makes me so angry. You are looking unbelievable and unfortunetly people like to project their insecurities onto you. Just know that for every 1 negative comment you get there are 10,000 of us thinking positive ones about you.

Anna you are my inspiration to get fit and strong you look absolutely beautiful and radiate confidence something I feel I lack hugely because I am unhappy with how I look! I find it so hard to diet so have been trying to follow you and eat a balanced diet. As well as squeezing in Lucy's workouts �� I love watching your vlogs and reading your blog! Hope you have a great Christmas!
ReplyDeleteLove Sam
You are beautiful, you are a busy mommy and talented business woman. Just ignore all the negative comments. They are just jealous that you have the will power, motivation, beauty and style. Keep doing what you're doing and don't let anyone get you down. Xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Anna, anyone who has been following you knows that you have always advocated a sensible diet and body acceptance, especially if they have read your book, Style Diet. I really admire your pluckiness and determination to try new things such as all the exercising and toning you have been doing and how about learning to drive? You look great and I want you to know that I appreciate your vlogs and blog for all of the positive and cheerful energy they project. I love you and your lovely family - thank you and pfffft to the haters! ❤ ❤
ReplyDeleteWell said Anna! x
ReplyDeleteSo glad you've spoken about this Anna! I actually think you're body goals! Just ignore what people say :)

I think you look fantastic. It's amazing what short exercises every day can do to your body in the long run - I can't believe you only work out an average 20 minutes a day (I think that's what you said somewhere recently, wasn't it?). I know it's easy to say but never listen to the haters. They're just jealous (or simply cannot believe) that you look this amazing after having two children - which I can hardly believe, either, because you look THAT fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLots of love,
Lisa x
Anna you can't please everybody and sadly a lot of people's negativity is based on the fact that they are extremely unhappy with themselves so want to bring others down. I think you are beautiful, stunning and an amazing person who motivates me everyday to be the best me I can be. :-) much love & hugs xoxox Shahrzad
ReplyDeleteIf this makes you feel better, you should know those people are all just jealous. I am sure they are struggling with weight loss themselves and wish they could have done it as easy as you. (well I know it was hard work but seeing you transform on your blog makes it look like it was). You are beautiful and I think you are brave putting yourself out there.
ReplyDeleteFor everything you do for us Anna, this breaks my heart, as there are some sad people in the world, who have nothing nice to say about others! I wish I had the patients to workout each and everyday like you do! :) xo (P.S : I'm loving your Vlogmas right now!)
ReplyDeleteI watch your blog every week, Anna, and I find it very nice and inspiring. You know, when you post your photos on public, there will ALWAYS be some people, who have to make some stupid negative comments on you (or anybody else). Do not take them serious or personally. Its the problem in their head, not yours! Merry Christmas to you and your family! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI think you look amazing!! I'm currently 3 1/2 months pregnant with my first child and have been blessed with the "slim" gene so sometime wonder if my body will go back to "normal" after pregnancy. You are an inspiration that you can exercise and achieve the results and still continue to everything in moderation - I'm like you, I could never "diet". It's easier said than done but ignore these nasty comments. You've worked hard and look amazing, be proud. B x
ReplyDeleteI think the only way to deal with the people who make these comments is to pity them. I believe their own low self esteem is at work and they try to make themselves feel better by belittling others. I'm not for a minute suggesting that makes it OK but I think it helps to deal with the vitriol. We all put a mask on for the public and we all do whatever we can to make the best of ourselves. Nobody looks at photos and chooses to share the one that most resembles Gollum !!! Anna, you're a beautiful, strong, healthy young woman. I'm not blowing smoke up your arse, it's plain to see. If you can picture a sad, envious, self-hater on the other end of that comment rather than a cocky bitch it helps. They're probably lost, you've found yourself. Live it. �� Xx Big Love xX
ReplyDeleteIt's very upsetting that people feel the need to body shame. I think you look great, keep up the good work x

Good for you Anna, I think quite a few people don't realise that it's just as horrible to be called skinny as it is fat. Just for the record, I think you look great and I'm sure lots of other people do too!! xx

Thank you for being so genuine and honest it's really refreshing there are so many of 'those' Youtubers out there !! Your just nice :-)

ReplyDeleteGreetings from Germany,
Nadine
Thank you for making this point Anna. Some people will always be judgemental! It is, however, important to point out that it is just as bad to judge someone for being slim or 'skinny' as it is to judge them for being fat. My 14 year old daughter is naturally slight and very slim. She has encountered a lot of judgement and inappropriate comments because of this. It's very upsetting.
ReplyDeleteSchool mates have made comments about how skinny she is. In primary school we were informed that she was underweight and we should see a doctor! In secondary school she was called in by the Pastoral care teacher to talk to her about her weight and asked her a lot of personal questions about her home life! She recently dislocated her knee and during a physio appointment the physio said, "Well perhaps if you ate a bit more you would build up more muscle"!! I had a few words with her about that comment! My daughter eats very healthily and she eats a lot... as much as me... she is simply naturally that way.
It can be just as damaging to a young girl, or woman, to call her skinny as it is to call her fat x
It is shocking to me how absolutely cruel some people can be! I have been following your blog for a couple years and just love your fun and positive posts! With or without makeup, your kind heart shows through your posts- if anyone has something to say about it, I would encourage them to say something nice or say nothing at all! :) Love having fun blogs like this to read!
ReplyDeleteI think you make such an excellent point. A person's (especially a woman - we have enough to deal with!) weight or health is simply not up for commentary, discussion, or opinions at all! Even if it seems like there's a serious health concern, obviously NOT the case with you, that's really for a doctor to decide...not internet commenters. If you feel great, then I applaud you! The most important thing is that you take ownership over your body, and I'd hate to see your hard work and efforts be criticized. So bravo for this post!
ReplyDeleteAnna I think you look wonderful and I know so many other people do too. It's great that you are so proud and confident with yourself. I just wish I had the energy to keep up a consitent work out routine!! :) x
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing Anna. You're killin' it ! Just keep doing what you are doing :)
ReplyDeleteI admire your work ethic & how hard you've worked to become fit, and all I can say is you look really healthy to me Anna, and that's what's inspirational :)
ReplyDeletethekatybennett.blogspot.co.uk
People I swear say the dumbest things. YOU LOOK AMAZING! You shouldn't have to feel like this. Not someone who's thin, not someone carrying a bit of extra weight after having a child, or women who love and embrace their curves. When did it become everyone's business how people's bodies looked? Why can't people keep their mouth shut or say something like "I love your top." It has to turn into this nasty war of women where we put someone down because they are smaller or larger than ourselves. It's gross. It's taken us back so many decades to those shallow snobby women that once were. Anna, you look amazing don't ever feel ashamed of that!
ReplyDeleteAnna, you look amazing! Anyone who watched your videos knows that you eat healthy, balanced, and that you work out out and take care of yourself. You are a role model of great health, and I am sorry you have to deal with negative people. People think body shaming is only for larger people but that isn't the case, it happens to smaller people as well. We are all different shapes and sizes and why anyone feels it is appropriate to comment on another's physical appearance is beyond me. Keep on being YOU :)

When I went through my weight loss process tonnes of people were so negative about it saying I was too skinny and that I was losing too much weight (even my cousins!)... honestly it's just jealousy. For some reason nobody can be happy for each other anymore and it breaks my heart. Women should be building each other up not tearing each other down! Your weight loss is your business to share with yourself and your doctor- the only time it's ever okay to make a comment about someone's weight is if you are genuinely concerned. That being said, saying "you're too small" or "you're too big" isn't right either, if the situation arises it should always come out as "I'm concerned about your health". You're a beautiful woman, Anna and very inspiring to me. The love you have with Jonathan is something I aspire to have with a future partner and as a mother you're definitely one of my role models. You remind me a lot of my own mother. It makes me so sad that people have to hate online because they don't realize that one day they're going to ruin the joys of the internet world for everyone- people will just stop posting! I hope you can block out the hate and realize that you have SO many people who adore and support you out here. <3 xo, stay beautiful darling.

Anna, I am so sorry you had to read any haters comments. I feel awful for you. You look great and healthy. Don't let any anonymous idiots get you down. You and your family are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAnna, you are most importantly a beautiful person, inside out. It feels empowering to see you having this healthy mindset & way of life that is to listen to yourself. I always tell myself that you look FAB without makeup, when I watch your vlogs. I do really appreciate these rants <3 <3
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about your blog and videos is the fact that we do see you with and without make up! It makes it all real! If we were just seeing a fake made up life then we should just watch what is on TV LOL. Love what you guys are doing! Also you have the cutest children =)
ReplyDeleteI get the skinny comments from people around me all the time. People think it is a compliment. I get "twig", "skinny", "all bones", "do you eat?", "You're anorexic." However, I have battled anorexia and a fear of eating unhealthy food for the past 3 years. I am doing better now but still fall sometimes. I just only admitted (I said it for the first time 6 weeks ago) to myself and other that I have had anorexia. Those comments are destructive. Why do people find it necessary to comment on body weight? There are so many other things people could find to comment about. You have a beautiful soul Anna! Your compassion for people and animals if very evident. Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteHey Anna!!!! I absolutely Love you ...I just want to say that you do not need to explain yourself to us or anyone! I also get comments on my weight constantly... If I gain weight its a problem and if I lose weight its also a problem...There is just no pleasing everyone... If you feel healthy and happy that is all that matters...I just gave birth to our second baby three months ago and I know that my body will never be what it was before children and I'm fine with that.
ReplyDeleteDear Anna, You are absolutely beautiful, stunning woman! Just the way You are - with or without make-up, in a fancy dress or cozy pj's. Stay strong, don't let the haters take You down.
ReplyDeleteHow rude are those people! You look AMAZING, they are just jealous :)
ReplyDeleteIgnore all those silly comments you look absolutely beautiful and you have the perfect body.
ReplyDeleteSorry Anna if you had to deal with comments like that. I am really skinny as well and sometimes some people might put you down for it, but you are beautiful Anna!
ReplyDeleteAnna your amazing and beautiful
ReplyDeleteI want to be just like you some day
I want to have 2 adorable children and a loving husband!
Your great and very inspiring
Your the best☺☺
I hate that 'women' have become such body shamers towards each other. Fat or thin there seems to be no one that isn't attacked these days and it is a shame. Your fit and healthy, and weather you're a size 8 or 18, that's all that matters! You eat a balanced relatively healthy diet and you exercise a healthy amount. So in my eyes you're perfect, not by your size but by what you put in ti you body.
ReplyDeleteI dread having children because of these stereotype we force into genders now ��
You look wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteAnna, ... please just ignore every negative comment you got. whether its about your body, the way you raise Emilia and Eduardo, or whatnot. I personally L O V E it when you show us your workout routine in the vlog (so I can copy it ;] ), I need to find the drive to get fit the way you do it .. with dedication. btw, even in video you look lean and fit - it's extra hard to edit the way you look in videos- , but you looks extra great, so just don't mind those hate comment.
ReplyDeletelove you lots, express delivery from Indonesia :D

ReplyDeleteThey clearly don't pay attention to any of your videos or social media because then they'd see how much effort you put into your fitness. I admire your dedication I need a serious kick up the arse to get me into the gym. Chin up kid, assholes are everywhere :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud and so inspired by your motivation and dedication to being healthy! You look absolutely wonderful! You're realistic and trying to better yourself and I very much admire that! I am so sorry anyone ever made you feel bad about how you look. Ignore them, and keep up the good work!! :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.accidentallyjade.blogspot.com
Focus on the positive!!! You are doing great.
ReplyDeleteI am also an active Mom and I know how hard it is to work out some days...
I think it is great how you started exercising and have kept it up. That is very hard to do! Congrats on your goals for being happy and healthy. You should not address unkind people.
ReplyDeleteIt is so nice to see how good you feel about yourself, Anna, and so sad that people are trying to ruin that. But I say this for myself and I know a lot of viewers also agree: you and your family are an inspiration, seriously life goals! Don't let these people get to you. you are gourgeous. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI have seen some people saying horrible things about your looks & not understood why, they only thing I can think is jealousy. After you showed that 'before & after' picture, someone commented that you looked better before- which I felt compelled to comment on & disagree. Your body looks so toned & you are managing to keep up the motivation which I greatly admire.
ReplyDelete'Body shaming adjectives' is so accurate! I get accused of being too skinny, then when I complain people always get defensive & try to pass it off as a compliment, when it is obviously meant as criticism & sometimes an accusation.
I think some people actually hope that women have used Photoshop, because then they feel better about themselves. People say I must be naturally skinny & I don't have to work hard; NO! I used to work out every day, walk everywhere, even small things like getting off the bus one stop away, or taking the stairs instead of the escalators; we work for our bodies & deserve them. I like that you show the effort looking good takes.
It is sad that so many feel the need to create negative comments online, which happens so much more on here than in real life.
I was just reading Roxeterawr's blog & she has an article entitled 'Why I'm sick of other women calling me out' she too has been accused of photo-shopping her photos, when she does not. Someone even suggested she made her arms look shorter. She wrote: "I’m then left like… ok… DOES my armpit look ‘weird’?? ARE my arms too short? And why would I Photoshop my arms to be shorter ANYWAY?!"
I think some commenters are jealous, some really lack knowledge of the way lighting & angles can be used to alter how you look, and some simply feel good making horrible comments... I can not understand their mind set & can not imagine having to deal with so many horrible people accusing you of being fake. I deliberately choose to follow you & Roxeterawr because of your openness & honesty, as well as being thoroughly entertaining. So when other accuse you of being fake & devious it really gets my back up!
Sorry for the long comment, I am just sad to see such lovely people receiving hate. I want you to know there are those who are not so malicious & who appreciate every part of the real you I am lucky enough to be allowed to see.
Anna your beautifull I think lots of girls think that being skinny is a complement in this dy of age and is good but really it is still saying something about someones weight wether they take offence or not I dont say "skinny" as i simply dont like the word i say "slim" as it makes me think of gorgeous girls who are slim and pretty and elegant where as "skinny" is just such a harsh word. Yes Anna there are A FEW horrible people put there who just put comments to get attention or because they like hurting other people but just think that thats only a few people and I know yiu cant stop them getting to you and making you feel upset but there must be 97% of people who think your gorgeous its a shame it cannot be 100% but you have many more people who look up to you Anna than people who dont like you. Your healthy and fit for your age ,your gorgeous ,your beautifull ,your an amazing role model ,your a amazing mum,wife,sister,daughter. xxx
ReplyDeleteFeeling good and confident about ourselves is what really matters. Physical look is just the outer aspect of who we are but does not give definition of our individuality. Be positive and happy always. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteAnna your gorgeous! You deserve to post pictures and show of your new body you've worked so hard to get this far! I think you look amazing! Ignore the bad comments they obviously don't have anything better to do, don't let them upset and hurt you!
ReplyDeleteOh, Anna, don't worry about any of that crap. Some people have very sad lives, or live very "sadly" and they need to pound on others to get some kind of reassurance. You do you,keep being amazing and inspirational. Because you ARE. Years ago I would have never dreamt that I would actually go to the gym on a regular basis but you have inspired me to take my health more seriously and move my bod. :) Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI totally understand how you feel. I've always been naturally thin. But I hate when people say "you're so skinny!". It hurts just the same as someone saying "you're so fat!". Which I've never heard said to a person. It's like they can say skinny and expect it as a compliment just because they're jealous. You look wonderful and inspire so many to get in shape and get off the couch. Keep doing what makes you feel good. You always look so beautiful in your pics! Keep shining cause they're so many of us who love you!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate this post, as a former size 6 (and I was fine with that weight and how looked too), now a size 8 and '10' people automatically think it's ridiculous that I could fit into a 'normal' size when I look so 'skinny'.. I don't understand the 'joking' about weight either, it's not funny and I'm happy with the way I look and I could care less.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean, I've had the 'you're too skinny' thing forever, which is so rude. I would never say 'you're too fat' to someone. It is body shaming and another way of saying 'you don't look nice' so mean.
ReplyDeleteYou look great and you've worked hard so be proud of yourself and how your body is!

Yes, we need to stop BODY SHAMING! Anna, you are a beautiful person, inside AND out, and I absolutely love following your blog and watching your videos because of your genuine and and positive attitude. Your blog posts/videos/instagram posts make me SMILE!!! As we have seen time and time again, there will continue to be nasty haters. Don't pay these sad individuals any mind because they are not even worth a second of your time. But I do understand that it hurts your feelings, as you are a human being like the rest of us. I just hope you know that WE love you!!!!
