Illustration of two women. One slender woman enthusiastically says, “Whoa! Looking good! Have you lost weight? What’s your secret?” The other woman, who appears sad and is wearing a floral dress, has a series of internal thoughts listed beside her, including: “I am relapsing and my eating disorder is back,” “I am really depressed,” “I can’t afford groceries,” “I am skipping meals,” “I am not taking my insulin to lose weight,” “I started purging,” and more. The image highlights that weight loss can be a symptom of suffering, not health.
Complimenting weight loss isn’t always kindness.
Sometimes it’s applauding illness, grief, stress, poverty, relapse, or pain.
Compliment the person — not the pounds. ✨
