People lose weight for many different reasons. Here’s a loving reminder: “Have you lost weight?” is not a compliment.

“Complimenting someone on their weight loss can be as harmful as complimenting someone on their weight gain.” – Demi Lovato

Though sometimes well-intentioned, weight-related comments reinforce ideas about thinness and biases perpetuated by diet culture. This can be triggering for individuals struggling with body image dissatisfaction and eating disorders. These comments can be harmful not only for the person receiving them, but for others who may overhear and internalize them.

Let’s chip away at our society’s fixation on thinness! Let’s normalize non appearance-related compliments and celebrate qualities that truly matter.
