Great article! When I struggled with anorexia at my lowest weight the amount of compliments on my weight I received was confusing. Like you said, it only reinforces the model so pervasive in our fatphobic society. I make it a point to never comment on someone's weight loss or gain. Sometimes I notice people might be expecting me to notice and comment on their weight loss because it has been such a conditioned response.
