Fit shaming is even very common irrespective of body or mental health. Recently a relative put me down for building healthy boundaries with my 60 year old mother who has very different lifestyle choices from mine. I am 40, I dont expect her to change, but they just dont get my Vegan lifestyle. Another one is smokers advising me on how to deal with stress. Not only is it detrimental to a person mentally, is also a social put down when someone critiques your very core. Big ups on penning these thoughts!
