Barb Schmidt

✨Words matter✨

The person who made this comment about my weight was a 35 year old man, and he was my work supervisor.

He may or may not have had any idea the impact it would have on me, a 21 year old female employee, but why would a man , my boss, think it’s okay to comment on a woman’s body? 😓

✨ And I don’t want to hear, “Oh Barb, you’re being too sensitive, it was a compliment.”✨
This was a reaction that a male friend said to me recently.

Let’s all agree that we never comment on someone’s body, ever, but especially in the workplace.

This comment led me to 6 years of struggle with the eating disorder of bulimia.
Let’s be kind and thoughtful ✨

✨ If your instinct is to make a comment, pause, ask yourself could this actually be insensitive? Your heart will guide you.❤️

If you can relate to struggling with body image or an eating disorder, I see you, and please know you are not alone 💕

Sending big hugs 🤗
Barb Schmidt
