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!!!!

I 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.
You look great and you've worked hard so be proud of yourself and how your body is!

I 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.

I 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!

Oh, 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!

Anna 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!

2015-12-18T00:41:46.711+00:00

Feeling 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!

We 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 🙄

2015-12-17T23:04:01.722+00:00

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

2015-12-17T22:00:41.565+00:00

I 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.

'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.

2015-12-17T21:30:41.471+00:00

It 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!

2015-12-17T20:13:54.491+00:00

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.

I'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!! :)

2015-12-17T11:19:21.137+00:00

They 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 :)

Anna, ... 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.

love you lots, express delivery from Indonesia :D

You look wonderful!!

2015-12-16T23:22:06.963+00:00

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.
I dread having children because of these stereotype we force into genders now ��

Dear 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.

2015-12-16T18:36:40.290+00:00

Hey 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.
