How Do You Build a Supportive and Size-Positive Friend Circle?

[Louise]

Always surround yourself with individuals who like and accept you. Seek new friends that do not make fun of your weight. Find a community/group or forum/event that is based on body positivity. On that forum, share what you have gone through and you’ll definitely find who is gonna listen to you.

I mainly focus on the people, who are positive and I try to develop my friendship with them. I have abandoned many friends who were always making jokes of people who are plus size. I am now more attracted to nice and supportive individuals, who do not judge me based on my appearance.

The people in my circle changed as I began to value myself. I have also started to attend the meetups on self-love in my area. I got friends who support me, regardless of my size. I now realise that It is all about making the correct choice of people to be with.
