Client Quote #24: harmful praise
If someone around you has lost weight, what kind of thoughts come to mind for you? It would be interesting to think about the assumptions we might be making.
I have heard hospital patients joke about, “hey the quickest way to lose weight is to …have cancer… or Crohn’s…or have a death in the family”…you get the drift. Weight loss isn’t always intentional or wanted nor is it healthy or better.
