The popular singer, Demi Lovato who recently came out as  nonbinary last week and uses they/them pronouns, shared an important message for their followers. 

The 28 year old singer explained how complimenting someone on their weight loss could have a negative impact on their mental health especially if they had a history of some health disorder.

The singer went over the topic via their Instagram story. In the shared story they wrote, “Idk who needs to hear this but complimenting someone on their weight loss can be as harmful as complimenting someone on their weight gain in regards to talking to someone in recovery from an eating disorder.”

Demi Lovato added: “If you don’t know someone’s history with food, please don’t comment on their body. Because even if your intention is pure, it might leave that person awake at 2am overthinking that statement…”

In the follow up story they wrote how it feels to them about such compliments. ““Does it feel great? Yeah, sometimes. But only to the loud a** eating disorder voice inside my head that says ‘See, people like a thinner you’ or ‘if you eat less you’ll lose even more weight.’”, they wrote.

The singer expressed, “I am more than the shell for my soul that is my body, and every day I fight to remind myself of that, so I’m asking you to please not remind me that that is all people see of me sometimes.”
