Do you keep telling them they're not fat? Do you decide to just support them as they try to lose weight?

What's your opinion on this?

Just keep telling them that they are beautiful.

Someone with body issues of any sort just need to have their self-esteem reinforced.

Targetting their specific issue can seam insincere. Just telling them that they are beautiful is enough.

I've been doing this for years, but it doesn't make any difference.

Repetition with sincerity.
