I copied and was going to post the same quote. That statement is EVERYTHING. So many compliments, and so much positive feedback... And now that I have been in recovery for a few years and have gained some weight, people (mostly family members who are totally clueless) say things like, “You were doing so well, had lost…

When I split up with my ex, I lost a whole bunch of weight (and got my first panick attack). I got tons of compliments, including from my family, especially my grandfather who really acted like I was finally looking good to my full potential. I then met my now-fiancé and was more relaxed/happy/in looove, gained weight…

It is such a strange thing. I have a friend who went from unhealthy and overweight to losing weight in a healthy way and while even she enjoyed the compliments, she gained a lot back and is now feeling pretty terrible about her self-worth. It’s crazy. It’s OK to tell someone “You look very nice today!” but aside from…

People need to learn to keep their comments to themselves. I know it’s just second nature for some people to compliment a woman when her body becomes more socially acceptable but it’s so dangerous.

When one of the popular girls in my high school told me I was the skinniest person she’d ever seen (complimentary), I knew I was on the right path. Seven years later I was still struggling.

Yep. I have had a really stressful 6 months and I was really having trouble eating. I wasn’t ever hungry. Food didn’t taste good. I just didn’t eat much and I lost about 15 pounds over 2 months. I went from a size 6-8 to a 0-2. The whole thing was very scary and weird and I’m trying to work on it but the compliments!…

Exactly. Several years ago, when Evil Ex dumped me, I lost the 20 lbs I lost during our relationship in 2 weeks because I could not eat. I couldn't function. My body hurt all the time. But damn, did I look good! I was showered with compliments. And then I got better and the weight came back, and the compliments…

Yep. I keep hearing about how great I look with my recent weight loss and it’s like, I’m sick...What happens when I get better?

Yup. I don’t think I ever fit the clinical definition of anorexic, but I definitely went through a phase of troubled eating and problematic self image, and the positive feedback really fueled it. I went from size 10 to a size 2 over the course of, gosh, 9 months? And I got so many wonderful compliments. I had never…

“The worse it got, the more positive feedback I was getting. Inside I was really unhappy, but outside, people were like, ‘Wow, you look great.’”

I’m here to collect gifs and outrage.

I’m betting the employee took the time off without really telling anyone, just didn’t show up and then the email actually doesn’t seem so bad. “Where were you?” “I was at the birth of my son.” Why didn’t you tell anyone where you were, we had a client in and I had no idea what happened. It was embarrassing. Of…

You can’t criticize the culture as a whole, because there are positive aspects to all cultures, and we shouldn’t generalize. I hate it when Americans who haven’t traveled anywhere get all high and mighty about how some cultures are inherently corrupt or misogynistic, even though you haven’t experienced the entire…

I can’t believe the willingness to kill over a damn book that’s in mass print anyway. I know she didn’t do it but the fact that it has to be said so many times, like it matters, is mind boggling.

“Forgive me please, but that’s what you get when you play with people’s emotions.”

I don’t know ... I think it might depend on the baby.

Mine favorite is Blinc Mascara Amplified. It's a tubing mascara, which means that it's waterproof but doesn't come off with eye makeup remover. The only way to get them off is very warm water. All mascaras that I have used have a habit of smudging regardless of the formula. I ended up with raccoon eyes by the…

Because you’re in a soulless hotel room and long for HOME.
