#HURDLEMOMENT: How NOT To Talk To Someone About Their Weight

Weight is a pretty taboo topic, like money or sex. This week for #HURDLEMOMENT, I\'m sharing a recent conversation I had about mine with a follower, and offering up some insight on how NOT to address such a touchy subject (especially with someone you may not know all that well). As someone who has struggled with hers over the years \\u2014 and is forever a work in progress when it comes to body confidence and positive self talk \\u2014 it\'s interesting to be a part of any conversation where it\'s implied that "smaller is better." Fact: You CAN find happiness at many different sizes. In today\'s episode, I\'m asking a very important question: WHY do you really feel compelled to mention size to another person? For those that do want to address a recent weight loss or gain with a loved one, I\'m offering up some smart tips on \\u2014 what I perceive to be \\u2014 the right way to go about it.
