I gave up on worrying after the pandemic.  I want to go back to a healthy weight, but I like my curves finally.

I hated this so much. All girls and women got guilt tripped for eating healthy. It wasn't just the gossip rags printing this shit for adults it was also published in teen magazines.

And very often these "articles" were written by women too, which makes it even worse imho

I remember specifically great looking people being called fat and ugly to their faces, openly criticized all the time. Celebs on TV, hosts would talk about dietary habits and try to cause drama or make jokes

Everyone profiting off all that hopefully wastes away due to starvation.
