Why don’t you eat a sandwich!” Even seemingly positive comments like, “You look amazing! Have you lost weight?” can be hurtful to someone who is struggling with body acceptance or who has suffered with an eating disorder.</p> <p>Commenting on other people’s bodies - comparing, judging, and snarking about them - is hurtful no matter how large or small someone is.</p> <p>Make a pact, right now, today, not to comment on other people’s bodies.</p>http://thebodypositiveproject.tumblr.com/post/44866824965http://thebodypositiveproject.tumblr.com/post/44866824965Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:56:54 -0700haesbody judgingbody comparingbody snarking<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/d4ccd5a30e53ec23181a8d802c7d6a47/tumblr_mjco689GZ71rtheg4o1_250.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My health is my number one priority.
