Dealing with negative comments

I’ve struggled with my weight my entire life and I’m finally beginning to lose weight. I’ve already gotten kind of negative comments from family and friends (“health concerns”, saying my face will look bad). Now there’s this whole thing with Oprah losing a lot of weight and the social media comments are AWFUL.

I already have such bad self esteem due to a lifetime of judgements about my overweight body. Now, I’m finally losing weight and it’s like, what do you people even want from me? I can’t be fat. I can’t be thin. People feel entitled to discuss their opinions about bodies like mine with me and the world.

I know it’s silly and I “just shouldn’t care” but I get so crushed by this some days. It’s in the media and I know people in my social group probably talk negatively about my health and weight. How do you all deal with this? I cry so much some days. People can be so cruel.
