Abbie Chatfield has shared that her recent weight loss isn’t intentional, and is actually a result of an eating problem she has.
Chatfield responded to fans who have direct messaged her, telling her not to “lose her Kardashian curves”.
“How fatphobic to say that I look better because I’ve lost weight,” she said on her LiSTNR podcast, It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield. “In the last five or so years I have never intentionally gained or lost weight.”
The media personality went on to say that she’s not “doing a Kardashian and intentionally losing weight because of a trend,” but instead has found herself too stressed and busy to each much.
“I’m having a really hard time eating,” she admitted. “I’m having trouble finding time to eat, and then when I find time to eat I’m having a really hard time chewing food and a really hard time swallowing.”
“I feel extremely nauseous when I eat food… It’s also stress.”
Chatfield revealed that she’s battled with an eating disorder in the past, but worked hard to gain a healthier mindset.

“I did have definitely disordered eating and I had definite like, fatphobic thoughts that were ingrained in me by society and especially being a young woman in the early 2000’s.
“I’ve worked so hard to not have those thoughts and I think I’m really proud of myself for genuinely not working out for how I look, not eating for how I look, genuinely enjoying food and genuinely being able to enjoy exercise and be more worried about whether I’m eating enough and what I’m eating and making sure I have the right nutrients.”
Over the past few years, the 27-year-old has become somewhere of a body-positive advocate, by constantly celebrating her curves on her popular social media pages.
“I don’t feel ashamed of how my body is,” Abbie stressed, adding; “I’m not trying to lose weight.”
