Tess Holliday Had the Perfect Response to a Woman Who Told Her She Needs to ‘Lose Weight’

In the video, she recalled experiencing an older woman body-shaming her while sitting in the doctor’s waiting room…

“This woman was seated a couple of seats away from me, she was a little bit more mature and she says ‘you are so pretty, you have a beautiful face and your beautiful hair’ and I mean I look like this and my face is covered but I’m like ‘oh you know thank you,’” she said.

“She then proceeded to tell me ‘why don’t you just lose a bit of weight?’ I’m no stranger to this, it happens often, but usually when someone says something like this to me because I have deeply seeded trauma and people-pleasing tendencies I usually say something to kind of placate their diet talk and make them feel a little bit better,” she continued on.
