@mattmcgorry : Screenshot captions after the 1st graphic are from me. I constantly hear people praising weight loss. But we need to think about those “compliments” more deeply and critically. # Repost from @bodyimage_therapist - “Usually, the word 'judgement' brings to mind something negative. However, judgements are judgements. There may be more acceptable judgements, or more taboo judgements. For example, it's more acceptable to say 'oh wow you've lost weight, good job!' and more taboo to say 'you've gained weight, what happened?'. Just because one is more socially acceptable, doesn't mean the praised-based 'positive judgement' serves the person. Whether it be praising or scolding, judgements create a hierarchical interaction. It is implied that the person doing the judging has more ability than the person being judged. If a person thrives off praise, praise will always be based on the values system of the person dishing it out. . . If you've noticed someone's weight change - it is not your task to pass judgement on that - positive or negative. If you thrive off people commenting positively on your body, especially after weight or body related change, what are you really seeking from them? . . I understand this is a topic of debate. This is the angle I take. If this doesn't vibe with you, that's okay. May it be food for thought. . . #psychology #arttherapy #healthateverysize #stigma #mentalhealth #feminism #wellbeing #health #mentalillness #fatstigma #dietculture #selflove #gratitude #bodypositivity #bopo #bodyimage #counselling #therapy #mindfulness “
