Zola Murphy believes that commenting on someone's weight is no good way to start a conversation, as it'll only lead to the person feeling conscious and uncomfortable. After she noticed that more and more people were commenting on her photos calling her "skinny," she decided to finally call them out.

"Friendly reminder that you should never feel comfortable commenting on someone's weight because they are "skinny" or underweight."
