I’m told to ‘eat less’ and ‘settle for any man’ I can get by trolls, but I love my plus-size body and still dress cute
A PLUS-SIZE woman has shared some of the judgemental comments she gets from trolls.
The TikToker demonstrated her unbothered attitude towards body shamers.
In her video, Sara Michelle (@sramchlle) revealed some of the hateful remarks she receives from strangers about her curves.
While some of the comments criticized her size others appeared to fetishize her body type.
Some creepy strangers have asked Sara to sit on them, claiming they “love big bellies.”
While some people sexualize her as a “thick girl” other commenters suggested she should “just eat less.”
Sara explained that her love life is often questioned, with people saying: “I bet your boyfriend is miserable.”
She has also been told: “You’re going to have to settle for any man you can get.”
Sara also addressed the issues she often has when trying to find clothes.
She explained that she has often found herself asking: “Does this dress make me look fat?”
Her body image struggles weren’t helped by clothing store staff regularly telling her: “We only go up to a size XL.”
Despite the lack of inclusive sizing available for her, Sara said she is often faced with petite women who claim they have it worse.
“It’s actually harder for smaller people to find clothes,” she is constantly told.
Sara told viewers that she doesn’t let the hate get to her, posting a video where she embraced her figure.
“Point of view: You’re a plus-size girl finally dressing how you want,” she wrote in the clip as she modeled various looks.
Her followers took to the comments section to share their own experiences with body shaming.
“It’s a constant battle of being either fetishized or bullied,” wrote one viewer.
Another TikTok user said: “Or when your friends say ‘I’m so fat’ knowing damn well they’re smaller than you.”
“Don’t forget ‘You look like u give good hugs,'” commented a third person.
