One woman is calling Instagram out for 'body shaming' after one of her weight loss photos was removed because of concerns about 'suicide or self-injury.'
A woman in Iowa is calling Instagram out for “body shaming” after the app removed one of her weight loss photos over concern that it might “encourage self-harm or suicidal behavior.”
And although she had admittedly lost a lot of weight, nobody had ever expressed concerns about how Krista looked or her weight loss methods. “I remember being more angry than I was hurt,” she says of being notified that her post allegedly goes against the platform’s community guidelines. “Apparently they felt it promoted self-harm, and they were 'kind' enough to send me information on where I can find support, how to seek out a hotline if I wanted to hurt myself.”“Not one person told me I was too skinny, dangerously thin, looked like a skeleton,” she says. “I had reached a healthy BMI by that point.
Krista’s followers quickly began to show support for her in the comments by congratulating her on both her weight loss and her decision to speak out against Instagram and whoever initially reported her photo. One follower even made mention of the inevitability of critics on social media. “I've actually increased the amount of progress pictures and comparison shots I've been posting,” she says. “I particularly love the comments I get on those pictures outright daring Instagram to take them down. My new followers have been incredibly supportive, and have done a lot to make this process more entertaining than frustrating.”
