A SELF-DESCRIBED ‘former fatty’ has admitted losing 12 stone means she’s no longer forced to eat dinner in her car.
Krista has over the past four years, but hasn’t resorted to weight loss injections or surgery to do so – instead sticking to a calorie deficit and exercising more.
She regularly shares tips and tricks on her social media pages, and recently posted a video in which she shared two ways her life has changed since she
“Now that I am skinny I can go to a and I can just eat whatever I want,”; she said.
“It’s cute if I order a burger and fries and eat a lot of food but when I was fat that was not okay.
“God forbid I would have ordered a burger!
“I would not have ordered a burger first of all.
“I would not have done that just because the judgment around what you’re eating, how much you’re eating and what you’re drinking... they’re just like, ‘Well of course she ordered a burger, because she’s fat, that’s why she looks the way she does.’
“Or if you try to order a salad or something healthy like grilled chicken it’s ‘You’re not fooling anybody, that’s not how you eat – you’re 300 pounds!’
“You just can’t win, so eating in public when you are overweight is mortifying.”;
Things got so bad when Krista was bigger that she’d even resort to eating her restaurant meals in the car.
“What I would do is I would eat a couple bites, take my food to go and I would eat it in the car in private,”; she sighed.
“Or I would eat it when I got home, where nobody was judging me.”;
Another thing that’s changed dramatically since she lost the weight is that she’s now “allowed to be tired”;.
“When you are fat you are not allowed to come around and be like, ‘Oh I had such a long day, I just want to go home and sit on the couch’,”; Krista continued.
“The looks you’re gonna get, the judgment that you’re immediately gonna get, it’s disgusting.
“But when you’re skinny it’s okay – it’s okay if I had a long day and I want to come home and sit on the couch.
“As soon as you are overweight or fat it is not okay because now you’re just lazy.”;

Krista concluded that the “constant double standard”; for those who are skinny and those who are overweight “blows my mind”;.
People in the comments section were quick to agree with Krista, with one writing: “I go to the gym 4 times a week for the past 3 years (I’m fat) and people say ‘good for you’ ‘keep it up’.
“My skinny friend goes once in 6 months and someone asked her for advice.”;
“Now I’m pregnant and so much heavier I really appreciate being thin when I’m not pregnant!”; a second admitted.
“When you’re fat, you better be funny, like mandatory, but once you’re skinny, if you’re the exact same funny it’s a cute, surprising, quirky perk,”; a third sighed.
“You’re so right!”; Krista replied.
“I was not funny when I was fat and tried so hard to be, but it’s just not my personality!”;
