Pansexual pop star Demi Dovato says complimenting weight loss is 'harmful'

Demi Lovato, who last week came out as “non-binary” and will henceforth be using “they/them” pronouns, said Saturday that complimenting someone on their weight loss can be just as harmful as complimenting somebody on their weight gain.

Lovato said that body compliments could sometimes feel great, but they could also leave the recipient lying "awake at 2 am overthinking that statement."  "Does it feel great? Yeah, sometimes. But only to the loud ass 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,’" Lovato wrote. "But it can also sometimes suck because then I start thinking ‘Well, damn. What’d they think of my body before?’"
