In today’s society it is very common to value weight loss and the loss of kilos so much so that we tend to give too much importance to this. That’s why giving praise for weight loss can be dangerous for your mental health .
Why Complimenting Weight Loss Can Be Dangerous for Your Mental Health?
If when we notice someone’s weight loss we do nothing more than congratulate them for having managed to get rid of a few kilos, we are putting too much weight on thinness and weight loss itself.
Thus, we value body weight and especially the loss of kilos, when in reality the most important thing is the habits that contribute to our health, and not so much the loss of weight.
Congratulate and overvalue weight loss.
Therefore, congratulating someone for losing weight can accentuate eating disorders or obsessions about kilos of body weight, intensifying risky behaviors for the body or other behaviors that alter mental health .
Deviating from body weight and focusing on health care, especially through healthy lifestyle habits, is much more favorable and valuable than having managed to lose weight because even a thin or normal weight person may not be healthy .
For all this, congratulating one’s weight loss is not a beneficial behavior, since we are overvaluing weight loss and thinness, focusing the value on just one number , such as those shown on the scale when revealing kilos of body weight.
