Was literally just thinking this earlier. ‘Oh, you’ve lost so much weight’. Sorry, but that’s such an inappropriate thing to say. I know it’s meant to be a compliment, but it’s so weird. Why were you monitoring their weight? Why did you feel the need to point it out? What if it was deeply personal? What if they have an eating disorder? What if they lost the weight due to a physical sickness? So on and so forth.

I’m overweight and on the same train of thought we have to let our skinny friends have insecurities too! My best friend is very thin and sometimes she doesn’t feel like she looks good and it’s not right for me to just say “girl I wish I looked like you” everyone is allowed to vent on their bodies you know?

I’ve been self conscious ab being skinny my whole life and just bc I gained some weight (STILL HEALTHY RANGE) and they need to just say that. makes it even worse when I’m already concerned ab my weight. And casually saying to someone that they’ve gained weight like it’s a bad thing wtf

EXACTLY I lost a bunch of weight due to chronic illness & poverty and I’m sick to death of people trying to praise me about it. it wasn’t deliberate, I’m sure as hell not any healthier, and I feel worse about my appearance… but all other people really seem to care about is the fact that now there’s less of me, which to them could only ever be an improvement. absurdly alienating
