I recently just started a new job where I’m working 6 days a week. Talking to a friend yesterday about my new schedule they said “wow, you’ll be skinny in no time”. At first I didn’t think too much about it, but this morning it really resonated with me.
You’ll be skinny in no time IS NOT A COMPLIMENT.
While you may mean well, saying this to anybody is reinforcing unrealistic expectations about weight loss & body image. Especially if the person is self conscious already, or maybe they aren’t even trying to lose weight.
You don’t go up to someone who just went from a labour oriented job to a desk position and say “wow, you’ll be fat in no time”. So why do we do this the other way around??
