Instagram<\/a> to tell his 3.1 million followers that it doesn\u2019t feel good to read comments about his body. He acknowledges that his fans mean well, but he still doesn\u2019t want them to comment on his body. The 37-year-old actor\u2019s plea comes months after he opened up about his struggles with body image. In another Instagram post, Hill said that he was in his mid-30\u2019s when he finally learned about self-acceptance.<\/p>\nHill revealed that he was in his mid-30\u2019s when he took his shirt off in a pool, even in front of friends and family. He says that it probably would have happened sooner if the press didn\u2019t intensify his childhood insecurities by mocking his body. However, Hill says that at 37, he finally loves and accepts himself. Jonah Hill\u2019s story reminds us that you never know what struggles people are dealing with, so we should be mindful of what we say. You may think that you\u2019re innocently commenting on someone\u2019s weight loss, but you never know how that may trigger them.<\/p>\n
Body Image In the Bible<\/h2>\n
1 Samuel 16:7 reminds us that God doesn\u2019t care about how we look on the outside. He only cares about what\u2019s inside and our spirit. This verse in Samuel says that the Lord doesn\u2019t look at the things people look at when it comes to appearance. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at your heart. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people will judge you based on your outside appearance before looking at your core. While you may think you\u2019re innocently praising someone for their weight loss, praise can be hurtful too. It indicates that your value is tied to your outward appearance.<\/p>\n
When someone loses weight, people automatically assume that it\u2019s for a good reason, like living a healthier lifestyle. However, weight loss can also be linked to depression, eating disorders, or other serious illnesses. For example, when actor Chadwick Boseman lost a significant amount of weight, the public assumed it was for a movie role and constantly commented about this change. However, Boseman silently had colon cancer. The rest of the world didn\u2019t learn about his struggle until after he died. While you think that commenting on someone\u2019s body or weight loss is innocent, it\u2019s best to keep your comments to yourself. You never know what someone is going through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Whether in person or online, praising someone for their weight loss can seem innocent. Body image is something that a lot of people struggle with, including celebrities. Usually, when you lose a significant amount of weight, you want people to notice and comment about it. Many people may assume that stars don\u2019t have body image…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":657,"featured_media":5850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fbia_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-inspiring-messages"],"yoast_head":"\n
