π« Stop Talking About People’s Bodies – Seriously
Can we normalize not talking about people’s bodies?
Yes, even when you “mean well.”Yes, even when it’s a “compliment.”
Yes, even when it’s your best friend, sister, or that person who “used to be bigger.”
We live in a world obsessed with appearances — where praise is often given for weight loss without knowing the cause (illness, stress, disordered eating), and where someone’s body becomes public conversation like it's fair game.
But here’s the truth: it’s not.
π± Your body is nobody’s business.
You don’t owe anyone “progress.”
You don’t have to be shrinking to be celebrated.
You don’t need comments on your weight to validate your worth.
Whether someone gains, loses, or stays exactly the same — their body does not require commentary. Not from strangers. Not from coworkers. Not even from family.
☠️ "You look so good, did you lose weight?" — Let’s break this down.
This sounds like a compliment, right? But here's what it can imply:
You didn't look good before.
Your worth is tied to your size.
Weight loss = success, health, or value (it doesn’t).
You never know what someone is going through. That “glow up” might be from grief. That “healthy look” might be masking burnout. That weight change might come from trauma.
π₯ What to say instead of body comments:
“You seem really happy — I love that for you.”
“You’re glowing lately. What’s lighting you up?”
“It’s so good to see you.”
Focus on energy, personality, presence, strength, kindness — the things that matter. The things that last.
π¨ Important: I will NEVER DM you asking if you want to lose weight.
I do not cold message people about weight loss.
I’m not here to prey on your insecurities.
I’m not in your inbox trying to sell shame disguised as “motivation.”
If you want support, I’m here — but you’ll never get a “Hey girl, want help losing weight?” message from me. That’s not empowerment. That’s manipulation, and I’m not about it.
π¬ Let’s talk about who people are — not what they look like.
Enough of the body talk.
Enough reducing people to a before and after.
Enough of tying beauty to worth.
This isn’t about being overly sensitive — it’s about being more aware. More kind. More human.
Final thought:
You’re more than a body. So is everyone else.
Let’s start acting like it!
