The holidays can be a really great time of the year, but it can also be a tricky time for people who are in the process of healing their relationship with food.
That's because during the Christmas season, people love to engage in diet talk, whether that be nosey relatives commenting on your food choices or a friend commenting on how "great" you look despite all of us living through a global pandemic. Whatever the comments, this time of year can be triggering.
In this episode, we discuss ways you can prepare yourself to handle the holiday diet talk and some actionable steps you can bring with you to your next family and friends gathering. We share boundaries you can create to make yourself feel safe and protected, respond to comments by planting small seeds about the intuitive eating space, and knowing you can walk away.
In this episode we cover:
- Implementing boundaries to make you feel safe and protected [2:34]
- How to deal with comments about your body and what comebacks you can prepare [6:31]
- Making people your allies so you don't have to handle triggers on your own [13:18]
- Approaching these comments with curiosity rather than judgment (16:19]
- Walking away from the issue altogether. It's okay to take a break and make space [19:01]
