My mom does this all the time, honestly it just makes me want to lift more so I use it for motivation bc it’s my life not hers.

My parents are the opposite. they want me constantly in the gym and starving myself bc im too “overweight”. Endless harassment. Im 150 lbs 5’3”. Parents who comment on their children’s bodies can suck it

when i was younger i and my boyfriend at the time went to the gym tg and his friend asked him “how does it feel that ur girlfriend has more muscles than you” and it made me feel gross and like a man but looking back it wasn’t a bad thing to be fit and have muscle. and my grandma has told me i look like a man or that i look like a whore if i dress more girly. so essentially what im tryna say is people talk shit regardless, do what makes YOU confident and happy. confidence is gorgeous
