I’m trolled for boasting about my 75-lb weight loss – I don’t care, I was criticized when I was overweight too
WEIGHT loss isn’t the easiest journey and one woman has revealed how she was trolled for hers.
After shedding 75 pounds but being bullied anyway, she felt like life wasn’t much different than when she was larger.
Caroline Mabeus (@carolinemabeus) filmed herself in her current state in a video on TikTok.
“We get it, you lost almost 75 pounds. Who cares?” read the text, echoing troll comments on her weight loss.
Next, she showed a clip of herself prior to the significant lifestyle change.
“She does,” she added, referring to herself. “She wanted it so bad and I’m so proud.”
Caroline detailed why the comments aren’t getting to her anytime soon in the caption of the video.
“When you’re overweight people have something to say, yet when you lose it they still have negative things to say.
“But it doesn’t reflect you, friends. Become the happiest version of you and tell them to kick rocks,” she added.
The video drew in many viewers who shared their two cents in the comment section.
“Can’t believe people say ‘who cares,’ it’s a total committed accomplishment and it takes a lot of patience,” one wrote. “Happy for you.”
“She’s proud of herself,” another viewer added. “That’s allowed.”
“For some people, eating habits can be just as hard to quit like quitting any other substance, it’s different for everyone. Good job,” a third commented.
“I’m down 18 and feel like a new person,” yet another chimed in.
“Good for you girl,” one more said. “You should show off your achievement losing weight and staying healthy.”
The video came as part of a trend on social media where people celebrate and share their weight loss journeys.
