Why We Shouldn’t Compliment Weight Loss

complimenting weight loss

 

Not all weight loss is intentional. Not all weight loss is beneficial.

Commenting on someone’s weight loss (aside from reinforcing the false ideal that fat=bad and thin =good) might be complimenting someone with cancer, an eating disorder, depression, food insecurity, substance abuse, and a whole lot of other conditions.

Best thing to do? Don’t comment on anyone’s body.
