Whenever my friend bitches about her size, I’m going to deflect her and change the subject, and insert something happy… like hey, I love your eyeshadow!!! tell me where you got it? Anytime someone bitches about food, I’m going to change the subject to makeup. NOT FOOD.
I’ve thought about this a lot, too. The only reason media has been bombarding us with body-image content so much is because we’re huge suckers at buying into it! If we were to show no interest, there would be no demand for supply.

Your first paragraph is hilarious !
Whenever a friend criticizes her body, I always then compliment something about her.
