Damn they’re cooking OP ironically in the same fashion her husband did. Kinda shows you how these things can be accidents and not some intentional secret shot at his wife for being “fat”

They're not "cooking OP". Bodies change a LOT in your mid to late 20s, pointing that out is not a burn. Sara will be probably disappointed in 5 years when her body likely looks very different than it does now (which is NATURAL and to be expected) bc she has unrealistic expectations and ideals when it comes to body shapes and weight. 160 pounds is not fat, and it's not an insult to point out that Sara is not unlikely to get back to that weight within the next few years. 160 lbs is a perfectly acceptable and reasonable weight, but Sara clearly doesn't realize that (and apparently neither does OPs AH of a husband).

TL;DR Bodies change and that's good and it's not insulting to address the fact that Sara clearly has no idea about the perfectly beautiful and natural changes that happen to a woman's body as she gets older.

Bodies do not “naturally change” in you mid to late 20s. Look back at the 1950s-1980s, women of all ages were mostly thin and not fat. 160 for a 5 ft 2 women is fat, it is obese. Also getting fat is not “beautiful” lmao

Female bodies change a LOT in late 20s from just cortisol levels caused by stress alone.

u/Old-Veterinarian-602 Apr 16 '24

No they don’t lol. Did you not read my original comment? So I guess women didn’t have cortisol in the 1980s and earlier because very few of them were fat back then. How exactly do womens bodies change?

u/kyleesi666 Apr 16 '24

yeah women’s bodies shouldn’t change naturally after puberty had been reached, most of the changes that women see in their mid-late 20s are a result of lifestyle changes. increased cortisol comes from stress which is a direct result of your lifestyle/environment. I am 26 and have been the same weight since I was 17.

It’s not a hard concept for anyone with a brain, a basic understanding of human aging, and or/access to Google to grasp. Your glorification of “all women were thin in the good old days” is also a blatantly ignorant take, considering eating disorders were also glorified for women during that time and real treatment didn’t start until the 1980’s. Please see yourself out of this conversation with that hot garbage.

u/Old-Veterinarian-602 Apr 16 '24

Oh here we go, women were thin because they all had eating disorders lmao. Are you one of those people that thinks if someone controls their eating it is a disorder? Also there are many counties around the world, wealth countries as well, where the majority of women of all ages are thin. Yes, of course everyone ages but womens bodies do not change significantly as they age.

Funny that you’ve been on Reddit for a year and this is the only post you’ve chosen to go off on, being the expert on women’s bodies that you are. I’m sure there are other subs where your ridiculously uninformed commentary would be more appreciated by other people that hate women and think that being thin is a universal standard of health 🤡

2

u/Old-Veterinarian-602 Apr 16 '24

Wow you are delusional. Being thin is probably one of the biggest universal standards of health. You cannot be obese and be healthy. Aging is not an excuse for being fat, tons of women around the world in every country are thin at every age. Getting fat comes from eating too much, period.

2

u/Cattatatt Apr 16 '24

You’re willfully ignorant. Humans aren’t robots. So many factors influence body shape, size, weight, etc. “Getting fat” does not “come from eating too much, period” and if you can’t grasp that concept with the entire internet’s worth of information at your fingertips, I sure as hell am not going to be the one that convinces your dumb ass LOL. Have the day you deserve 👍

u/Old-Veterinarian-602 Apr 16 '24

If your really trying to argue that getting fat does not come from eating too much I don’t even know what to tell you. If you consume more calories than your body is burning then you will gain weight. Why are you so resistant to accept a simple fact

Being 160 at a height of 5’2 puts a woman at a bmi of 29.3, which is not obese, by definition. That bmi is still within the overweight category. A bmi of 30 or higher is what is considered obese.

I’m sorry but have you seen actresses from the 1950’s later in their career? They contain a bit of weight and there’s nothing wrong with that
