It’s meant as a compliment, but sizist catchphrases like “real women have curves” or “she should eat a sandwich” are just as hurtful to thin girls as “but you have such a pretty face, it’s a shame you’re so fat” or “she should stop eating” are to fat girls.
The only way we’ll beat body-shaming, once and for all, is if we all stop bashing each other’s size and start realizing that all bodies are good bodies, regardless of how large or small.
