Kim talking about losing weight to fit into a dress normalises the idea that people should be changing their bodies to fit their clothes and not the other way around. ![]() Yes, the way we talk about and treat our bodies has changed drastically – we value diversity and body positivity more than we ever did – but, that doesn’t mean that celebrities aren’t relying on wholly unhealthy techniques to look a certain way, because many of them still are. We’ve done a lot of hard graft to overcome the toxic body rhetoric of the 90s/early naughts but the unbearable weight of diet culture sadly remains.

Public reaction to Kim’s weight loss efforts was largely negative, with most people lambasting her for promoting “extremely disordered eating”.
