@elainaefird: Weight loss is not always healthier and it’s not always being achieved in a healthy way. Stop letting your first thought be to congratulate it!

I have Gastroparesis and someone asked me for weightloss tips so I told them. So I wake up early every morning and give my stomach a pep talk and tell it "Look, you work to much. Slow down a bit. Take a break. Food isn't that deep bro. Chill" 😅💀

This is why I no longer compliment weight loss

Why complement weight loss at all? Because you’re basically saying the looked terrible before and if they gain it back, they’ll think you think they look terrible again. Keep the comments to yourself.

I don't compliment weightloss. I compliment that they look great

something big I had to learn in my masters program as a baby therapist: when someone says they've lost weight recently, kill the impulse to congratulate them and instead show concern and ask what led to it.

I lost 50 pounds in 6 months while homeless with undiagnosed, untreated diabetes. My A1c was over 14 when I was finally diagnosed. My blood glucose that day was almost 400. The nurse on call called me at 9PM with my test results like, "are you feeling ok?" and encouraged me to go to the ER if I felt sick at all. So many people complimented me on my weight loss and I was like, "I'm literally starving here."

We need to stop commenting on other people’s bodies, in general. Unless someone specifically asks for my thoughts on something related to their body, I’ve got nothing to say.

Had this recently when someone I know lost a lot of weight over 2 months. They were in a healthy deficit but they were severely restricted calories. As someone with an ED, I couldn’t tell them what they were doing was concerning

I’ve lost just 10 pounds from managing pre-diabetes and people have been commenting on how I “look great” or lost weight. It’s so uncomfortable.

Complimenting me when I was eating 750 calories a day as a varsity athlete just fueled the ED :) but I was fat, so of COURSE it was a “good thing”. Nevermind that I fainted if I took too hot of a shower and would sometimes have “sleep for dinner” 😳

I’ve had anorexia for 30 years. When I’m jealous of someone else’s body, I always say to myself “you don’t know what they are doing to look like that”
