I lost 89 lbs and have loose skin – trolls say I shouldn’t ‘catfish’ people with shapewear but I couldn’t care less
A MOM-of three has hit back at trolls who said that she shouldn’t wear shapewear to disguise the loose skin on her body.
The lifestyle influencer has significant amounts of loose skin after losing 89 pounds in weight.
She wears shapewear for comfort and to cover up the baggy skin on her frame.
Kelsey (@itsmekelsc) has 133,000 followers on TikTok and shares videos about her weight loss, her children, and vlogs about her life.
Trolls accused her of “catfishing” by wearing shapewear to disguise the loose skin on her body, the result of weight loss.
In a recent clip, the influencer hit back at this opinion and said that she wears shapewear for herself, not anyone else.
The video opened showing Kelsey wearing a pair of bike shorts and a black sports bra, with her long hair hanging loose around her face.
Overlaid text read: “Shapewear is catfishing.”
The influencer’s stomach was exposed and hanging over the edge of her shorts.
Kelsey jiggled her stomach with her fingers while pouting for the camera.
She then turned sideways and showed viewers a side view of the loose skin on her stomach, which hung down several inches.
In the next shot, Kelsey pulled up the waistband of her shorts, covering her stomach.
The fabric sucked everything in and changed her proportions.
On-screen text read: “Good thing I do it for me and not you.”
The influencer posed for the camera, smoothing the material of her clothing down over her hips.
In the final few video frames, Kelsey gave a coy smile and shrugged towards the camera with her hands on her hips.
The video received a positive response. One commenter agreed with Kelsey and wrote: “Precisely. I don’t like the feeling of my loose skin.”
Another person said: “Thank you for being brave!”
