does my bum look big in this?

who cares what your weight is. Im fat and bald. So what. Sure I can go to a gym and eat healthy but would I be happy NO. Like you I just dont care. Healthy people have to die as well some day. Yes at times I wish I could loose a bit of my gut but it aint happening. We love you for you and your talent. You make us laugh and forget the worries of the world and simply have a good time with us. If you loose weight. will you be funnier? NO Will it make you more popular NO. WHO cares. As long as YOU are happy stuff the others. As a very famous little Aussie bloke said once D I L L I G A F. I live by it. Luv ya guts (and every other part of you as well.

That was such an amazing read and perfect timing, thank you. You’re gorgeous in all the photos, and how comfy do those PJ’s look! I struggle emotionally with the weight I’ve gained in the past few years, when as a teenager, I was slim, fit and so energetic all the time playing sport every second day and running every other day. Now, I do tennis once a week and the gym/swimming/boxing a couple of other days, and it has me beat. But even if I can’t get back to that body shape I had as a teenager – which chances are I won’t, because my woman body is different to my teenager body, I’m working on getting myself back to that point of being healthier.. and THAT’S what matters. My David makes me feel loved and my friends don’t care.. so why should I care about what I look like, as long as I am healthy.. which I am going by all my recent doctor result stats – and I’m working on the FIT side of things. It is hard though, when I think about myself physically and the only things I actually like are my fingernails and my nose lol. It’s easier to bag myself out, put myself down.. and it’s so hard not to compare to others. It’s hard to remember that I am actually a good person, when I feel so down about how I look.
Anyway.. sorry, I didn’t mean to write a novel, but I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately since Dallas said to me “Think about if you knew 10 people, and 9 people said ‘You look nice today’, but one person said ‘You look like shit’, you’re going to remember the one negative comment over the 9 positive comments.” And that is so true.. we need to start focusing on the positive aspects of ourselves. But geez it’s hard.

I’m a fat bastard (and proud of it) and yes you did single me out for that song,

As we all mature we learn largely to look past a persons looks and instead judge them on their personalities, nobody looks like the women in magazines not even the women in them, famous people including Jamie Lee Curtis have complained about their images being photoshopped.

Jenny you are beautiful both inside and out, you have great family.

I wish I could say I didn’t give a crap what people thought of me. When I had my 2 babies I got to my biggest 92kg but even when preg I was being called fat names.. I try every day to find my balance with weight kids and life but some days truly are harder then others.. From today this is going to change. Fuck em, I’m done with bad friends ( who I found out were offering and saying things were the ‘light version’s to get me off track from the gym) screw if I have weight 14 months after giving birth… Screw what others think (ill have to stop here cause I could go on and on and on about the bitchy people) .. Well tonight I will have a nice big fat glass of wine and toast to you.. P.s you have massive tits( you poor thing lol) awesome legs and a good arse (I don’t think I’m a prev lol)

I am way fatter than you. And I am in the fat positive community. First time I went to a NAAFA (National Association To Advance Fat Acceptance) meeting, I heard one woman say to the friend who brought me “She’s not very big, is she?” I have cherished that ever since.

Darlin’, I think you look AMAZING. And you are amazing, too. Even if you’re not very big!!

Great post. Yep, one more opinion on a subject that’s being bashed to death but one of the best takes on it I’ve ever read – honest and personal, rather than theoretical and overanalysed – so I’m glad you decided to go for it! Hope to see you play next time you’re in the UK (and your dad too, if you can persuade him!) Wishing you and yours a great Christmas! x

Well done Jenny, loved you before this and love you even more now. Who cares what we look like?? It’s all skin deep.

Merry Christmas to you and yours. 🙂
Xxx

Who gives a flying shit what people think,you are who you are and people should love you for being you not for what they want you to be,My hubby loves me for who i am,People can get so up themselves and it’s people like that who really piss me off,Don’t judge others without knowing them,My daughter is disabled as you know Jenny but she is bloody awesome just a shame people don’t see her for who she is,Any way Jen hope you hubby and the girls have a fab christmas xxx

Well said beautiful girl, I am sending the link to all my friends, even the wowser ones!!! I have been this weight give or take a few pounds for the over 20 years, does not seem to make any difference what I eat or don’t eat or how much exercise I do, my body just likes being where it is and I have made peace with that. But the other person who lives in this house is one of those critical arseholes who still expects me to look like a 16 year old so you are very lucky to have a man like D, hang on to him real tight 🙂 and BTW, your arse does not look big in anything, fuck the critics, we are all beautiful xxx

You are a beautiful person inside and out Jen! As I read this, it reminded me of a quote that I read very recently!
————————————————————-

She looked at herself in the mirror, made eye contact, and said out loud, “You are exactly perfect just the way you are and anyone who says different is a fool and a liar.” ~ Queenisms™

Well said! The difference between your way and the others is you have put some real raw honesty into it. It is not just girls who deal with image these days though..As a male I was bullied horrendously for being fat and ugly, ended up needing treatment for an eating disorder and depression..had a bad day yesterday and felt really down till I read this, even had me in tears, but I feel so great for reading this now..this was just the one thing I needed to read or hear.. Thank You for a kick up the ass and a boost today, you have no idea how much this post meant

Hi Jenny followed you for few years now ( No I’m not a stalker ). This post you’ve put up is so true. I’m over weight drive a lorry eat in truck stops go home at weekend to my beautiful wife, I look in the mirror and think what the fuck does she see in me but their must be something were expecting our first baby soon. People judge me because I’m fat and at one time praised me when I used to play rugby. No training 15 hour shifts sat on my arse at work driving upto 10 hours in a day tends to put the pounds on. I just looked in mirror again after reading your comment and this is what I know see: I own my own home and land too, I’ve got a FOOKING JOB!!!!!!!!!, An Amazing wife who is giving life to our baby boy to be ( Feb 22nd ) life is good and fuck to the ones who try to make me become upset over my weight. As for YOU Jenny your right!!, know body is perfect, But my god your so close to perfection it’s hard to believe. Your hubby is 1 lucky man and your girls have a great mum. Love to you and your family this Christmas and all the luck in the world for 2014. And a message to all the negative bastards!, FUCK OFF
Loves ya Jenny x

I’ve been stick thin & as fat as a pig, currently I’m somewhere in between lol but the biggest ever boost to my self esteem and how I feel about what others see when they look at me came from my son. When he turned 21 this last August I was due to go out partying with him & his mates when I said to him that I’d most probably end up embarrassing him at some point during the evening when he just turned, looked me in the eye and said ” mum, it wouldn’t ever matter what you did you would NEVER embarrass me” & ended it with a hug 🙂

nuff said

u look fab the way u are Jen, as long as ur happy and healthy that’s all that matters and u have family friends and fans who luv u 🙂 xx

Very well said Jen unfortantly we live in a society where people prejudge each other without knowing facts. It is sad. I have gone from being “plump” to quite skinny. A small size 8 as you have seen yourself but yet I have had strangers actually come up to me and tell me I need to start eating or omg are you anorexic. No I am not anorexic I have a terminal illness but even if I was anorexic it is no one elses business but my own. People should not assume and should not make judgements on others without knowing facts first. I am happy to be who I am and the weight I am as I know I cant do anything about it so why stress and make myself more sicker over worrying about something thats out of my control. Its not the weight thats the issues its people’s negativity. When I saw you and your dad in mandurah I thought you was beautiful. I didnt see any fat on you nor did I see a fat bum. I saw a very talented down to earth compassionate loving lady who was very clever and loved what she did and loved her family. That to me is the only way to be. You are so positive Jen you are an inspiration to all. My hubby says its not the saying does my bum look big in these jeans its actually does my arse make these jeans look fat. Lol I dont care if I am fat thin plump or was even anorexic coz at least why I am any of these I am still breathing and still alive and my family still have me around. Negative people should just FOCUS!! Lol
Have a great xmas to you and all your family and friends hun even tho im a bit jelly about you having a white xmas. Xx

In whatever light, from whatever angle, filters or no filters, makeup or no makeup, professionally shot or self taken…..you are stunning!

You are the person you are and nobody has the right to tell you different, or undermine your self worth just to make you feel the need to change.

I admit I haven’t read all the comments but if there’s not a D.I.L.L.I.G.A.F in there somewhere then there should be.

Hope to see your show back in the UK soon.

fuck everyone as long as your ok & healthy,happy the way you are who is anyone to say how you should look, just say Focus you no the score
