Here’s why I no longer give compliments about weight loss. ⬇️
💚 This could have been caused by an illness
💚They could have suffered from heart break/bereavement
💚 It could be stress related
💚It could be results from an eating disorder/disordered eating
💚 A persons weight is the least interesting thing about them
When we celebrate someone for becoming thinner we are just reinforcing cultural norms and values, and it just strengthens the idea that we must be smaller to look good. (You don’t)
Instead why not tell someone they have a great smile or you find them kind and interesting. ☺️
Unless someone brings up their weight don’t comment on it. ✋🏻
