Where did it start for you? Even if you have been dieting or micromanaging your food for decades… you weren’t born this way. Did your mom take you to Weight Watchers with her as a child?

Were sweets off limits at home because people were trying to “maintain” their size?

Was it shopping with a grandma who wanted you to pick clothes “more flattering on you”? All of those narratives were likely the prevailing cultural standard at the time, and it is highly probable that those individuals were doing what they thought would be helpful and healthful. Fast forward… Now as the adult, how will you choose to process those feelings? What will allow you to set boundaries and protect yourself and your own family? Which relationships can be reconciled, and how can we do that decades later? It’s complicated, but this week’s guest is an expert in healing relationships that have been strained by generational diet trauma. You are going to hear tips that every child of a dieter can apply!
