While most of us find it fun, commenting on other people’s bodies can be problematic and damaging. For a person to undergo their bodily transformation, a lot might be happening in their lives. Their weight or body size changes might be stemming from illness, work-related stress, or limited healthy and budget-friendly food access. Others may be affected by over-exercising and disordered eating. That being said, they may be taking tough measures to maintain the body shape and size you are commenting about.
Before making comments about people’s bodies, we should ask ourselves a few questions. Are they happy about their body size and shape? Are they satisfied with the weight changes? Are they pinned down by eating disorders? Let’s face it; making comments about people’s “new” bodies means their “old” bodies were dissatisfying. As a psychologist, I am afraid to say this attracts shame and feelings of failure to the person “attacked’.
Sleep specialist
Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
