Sinopse

This week on How to Love Your Body we are going to unfortunately be talking about what to do when someone asks if you’re pregnant when you’re not.  Now we wish this wasn’t as common as it is - in The UnDiet Academy 3 members got asked this in the past couple weeks! It’s wild. To start - be sure to not ever ask a woman this. There are multiple reasons, the least damaging being it implies that the person has gained weight… if we didn’t live in a diet culture so obsessed with thinness this would not be a big deal at all, but here we are. The reasons we really find it damaging is because so many women struggle with fertility and when you ask a woman if shes pregnant and shes not and shes been trying for 5 years, it can be devastating. Or what if she is but she hasnt told anyone yet?  Let people tell YOU if they want to. Has this ever happened to you before? How did it feel? Why did it feel that way? Did thinking someone thought you have gained weight feel like the ultimate insult? Isn’t it interesting
