#DemiLovato
o The actress is reminding her followers that compliments can sometimes be hurtful.
o She posted on her IG story this weekend, “Idk who needs to hear this but complimenting someone on their weight loss can be just as harmful as complimenting someone on their weight gain in regard to someone in recovery from an eating disorder. If you don’t know someone’s history with food, please don’t comment on their body. Because even in your intention is pure, it might leave that persona wake at 2 a.m. overthinking that statement.”
o She went on to say that the voice in her head says, “See, people like a thinner you." or “If you eat less you’ll lose more weight.”
o She concluded that she is more than the shell for her soul and that “every day I fight to remind myself of that, so I’m asking you to please not remind me that is all people see of me sometimes.”
