Melissa Suffield reveals 'unhealthy' weight loss is due to mystery illness that's left her feeling like 'pure s**t' and nauseous for three months: 'It's been hell'


Melissa Suffield has revealed that she's lost an unhealthy amount of weight in a very short amount of time due to a mystery illness.

Discussing the pressure of social beauty standards on women, she was quick to point out that 'our sons are being left out of the conversation', adding that body image struggle can affect every gender regardless. Encouraging parents to open the conversation with their kids, Melissa added that boys and men who were raised with a healthy body model will eventually be 'less critical and judgmental of others'. 'This can still have a profound impact on the girls too- boys and men who have had healthy body image modelled to them will be less critical and judgmental of others- they're learned behaviors!'
