“I know you mean that as a compliment, but I’m working on my body image and that means I’m trying to find my value beyond my looks. I could really use a reminder that I’m worth more than how I appear!” or “Thanks! And you just reminded me that I’ve actually set a goal to validate people for more than their bodies. Do you want to try this out with me? It’s hard at first, but so worth it to help people see how amazing they are for more than their looks.”
