Body Talk is Only Damaging
Body talk is ONLY damaging.
It might feel like lifting someone up, but that is only reaffirming the message that getting smaller, or larger, is the goal. That changing a body, is the goal. We can accomplish more than temporarily altering a body. Aim higher.
It might feel like an innocuous water cooler conversation. Just the thing that you do with your pals, casually. And this might be a thing that you have done for years. Decades, even. And in real life, it has done nothing good for any of the humans engaged in the conversation.
And you may have whispered, under your breath, about a human who you observe and feel inclined to pass judgment on. You may believe that human is unaware of your dissection. I assure you, they are not.
Body talk is only damaging.
It misses a struggle.
It perpetuates weight bias.
It is not about you.
And it can do REAL harm.
Body comments are helpful for no one.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
