Am I wrong for being disappointed in some plus size influencers losing weight?

[Anonymous]

I’m a big girl okay. I grew up as a plus size girl but I’m tall. I’m 5’10, with a large frame, broad shouldered and over 200lbs (not telling you my real weight). Growing up I always saw thin girls and women in magazines and it always bugged me. There’s never bigger people in the media. I look up to Queen Latifah because she’s tall and plus size like me. She is the only one I follow. I am very disappointed in Adele, Lizzo and Rebel Wilson because they’re plus size celebrities that looked up too but since they lost weight, I unfollowed them. Why should I follow them if they’re no longer promoting being a plus size? I know it sounds mean but I’m not going to follow someone that decided to be a different size when they have plus size fans that look up to them. They won’t be able to promote plus size fashion if they lost weight. We have enough skinny women in the media as it is. Now we’ll never have enough plus size influencers. I’m not interested in weight loss or trying to be thinner. I’m starting to embrace my thickness. They betrayed me! Us bigger girls finally have someone that had bodies similar to us and it was nice to see more body representation but they lost weight, I unfollow them.
Jennifer Hudson was a plus-size woman but she lost weight so I never followed her. Honestly she looked better heavier. I didn’t think she was fat.

Yes. If you only think people are admirable because of their waistlines, you're exactly what you decry here.

You professional help, woman. Not people who look like you.

The elite council said to those celebrities 'get healthy or we will destroy your career' so they did

Feeling disappointed is an understandable reaction, especially when you look up to someone who shares your body type for representation and inspiration. It's important to remember that everyone's health journey and personal choices are unique. Influencers might change their lifestyle for various reasons, not necessarily to reject their past. You can continue to find positive role models who celebrate plus-size fashion and body representation. Embracing your body and finding communities that align with your values can help in feeling empowered and supported. 😊

I understand why you not relate to them anymore, but I bet that they are healthier now.

We’ll I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with getting healthy but, us bigger girls deserve to have someone that has the same body like me being represented but after they lost the weight, there’s no point so I unfollowed her

Plus is hot. No need to lose weight

Unless you’re very obese then no. Just because someone is plus size doesn’t always mean they need to lose weight.

Well, yes, there's a difference between plus or morbidly obese.
