We often have a terrible relationship with our weight. We're too fat, too thin, our weights on the wrong part of our body etc. How much does your weight bother you?

Please don't post your weight, numbers can be triggering for people with a history of disordered eating

I know I shouldn't, but I've always had an issue with my weight. I went to an all girls school where anorexia was a way of life and my mother was really controlling about food. I used to restrict horribly as a teenager and was underweight. I wouldn't eat a lot of foods and sadly used to purge.

Even know it's ingrained into me that Eating Is Wrong. I don't weigh myself as it can get obsessive. It's not helped by being in my 40s, all the weight is on my belly and I can't lose it easily. I notice the difference with lads at work, they just eat something if they want it. Women at work just don't.

On the plus side I'm better than I used to be regarding it!

Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend [email protected] for that, but here is an escape from it.
