Abbie Chatfield slams questions about her weight

Abbie Chatfield has lashed speculation about her “changing body”, explaining it’s caused by many things but it’s “no one’s business”.

Television and radio presenter Abbie Chatfield has lashed speculation about her “changing body”, explaining it has been caused by many things but ultimately is “no one’s business”.

The 27-year-old has been inundated with comments about her appearance – specifically her weight – after sharing photos from her life on social media.

She’s now responded to the barrage of remarks in a new interview with Stellar magazine, stating no one should comment on another persons weight.

“People on Instagram love to tell me when my own body is changing, as though I don’t have a mirror,” Abbie told Stellar.

“Weight loss happens because of a myriad of things … I am very, very proud of my relationship with food and exercise.

“I don’t think it’s anyone’s business why someone might have lost weight, unless they express it themselves without being prompted. It doesn’t affect anybody else.”

The woman behind Verbose the label, a size inclusive brand, was recently innundated with messages on Instagram asking how she lost weight.

But, during one of her LiSTNR podcasts, It’s A Lot with Abbie Chatfield, last year, she called the commentary fatphobic before revealing it all came down to stress.

“I’m having a really hard time eating,” she revealed during the podcast.

“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.”

She said during the episode that she’d had issues with disordered eating in the past, due to the rhetoric pushed upon her in the early 2000s of what a woman’s body should look like.

She added that she had done her best to relearn her behaviours, and have a healthy relationship with her body, food and fitness.

Abbie added at the time that she was not ashamed of her body, or trying to lose weight.
