"Jackie Goldschneider Stands Strong Against Body Shaming"

Dealing with Disordered Eating

Goldschneider chronicled her disordered eating in her memoir, "The Weight of Beautiful," last year. She emphasized that such comments are not helpful, whether meant as a compliment or not. After posting photos with fellow RHONJ star Jennifer Fessler from iHeartRadio's Z100 Jingle Ball in New York, she was inundated with "shocking" remarks like being called "plump," "juicy," "full-figured," or "big."She firmly stated that one can compliment her without focusing on her weight or body size. She believes that real women come in all shapes and sizes and that being "skin and bones" is not the norm.

Choice Not to Take Medication

Goldschneider mentioned that she could lose "every f—ing ounce of this by the New Year if I went on Ozempic tomorrow," but she chose not to take medication. She emphasized that humans are meant to feel hunger and eat food naturally.She recently said she was "about 75 percent recovered" from anorexia and is proud of her progress. She also implored her fans not to compliment their daughters on their bodies unless there is a medical issue that needs to be addressed.

Clapback to Critics

When faced with comments calling her "plump," she made it clear that if the intention was to insult her, it won't work. She has recovered from 20 years of anorexia and considers her body strong and beautiful, a work of art.She took her clapback directly to the source by replying on Instagram to someone who commented "Ironic Jackie posing with food she won't even eat" on a photo of her in a diner. She questioned how the person could know what she eats and expressed disappointment in their judgmental attitude.In conclusion, Jackie Goldschneider is standing firm against body shaming and using her platform to raise awareness about the importance of accepting all body types. She is a role model for those who have struggled with disordered eating and is showing that recovery is possible.
