    .
    We're in the thick of the holiday season here and chances are you've got a family member (or five) who hasn't quite been bit by the down-with-diet-culture bug yet. Here's what you can do if that's your reality 👇
    .
    ➡️ Ask for respect. They don't have adapt or even agree with your non-diet views but you can ask them to respect your decision and choices based on what you feel is best for YOU and keep food and body talk neutral.
    .
    ➡️ Set boundaries. This might look like taking certain topics off the table if talk can't be kept neutral, exiting conversations that aren't serving you or even limiting time with certain people.
    .
    ➡️ Have support. Sometimes situations can be unavoidable for whatever reason. Be sure to have support during those hard times be it a family member who does support you, a friend you can text, or a community of gal pals like The SociEATy(we've have lotssss of members post about this recently!)
    .
    Ultimately, remember WHY you started this non-diet work. We can't live inside of a bubble. We will be challenged. But you got this gorgeous! ❤️ I mean, sometimes we gotta tell Nana to just buzz off, ya know 🤪
    ➡️ The SociEATy is the intuitive eating membership where gals like you learn to ditch diets without bottomless binges and finally feel in control around food.

So from September to June I would waste down to like 115 lbs, be tired all the time, have no energy and be super sick, and in the summer when I stayed with my grandmother she would make sure I ate 3 meals a day, with snacks, lots of water, no food was demonized in her house she just cared that I was healthy, I got sunshine and activity and I would put on weight, my grandmother literally saved me, in more ways than one, as a teenager.

      @@truesouthern6138 yeah, like you said, EVERYONE is different. If a WHOLE FAMILY is eating like that, then obviously there’s a problem. Diet culture is very strong among families, and it can take effect on the kids who had to grow up eating portions that were unhealthy or underweight for their bodies. The likelihood of a whole family being full off of a tiny sliver of lasagna is unlikely, it could happen, but most likely there’s at least one person in that family that is being extremely underfed.

    I really think like diet culture was an upper-class problem.
    Gaining fat meant you have a lot of food, which was an absolute win for the lower-class part of my family. But to my middle-to-upper-class family, it was the sign that you didn't care about etiquette and didn't have enough self-restraint.
    Even now, my parents are bourgeois, and having a little stoutness isn't really bad, but my brother, who married a woman from the nobility, is starving, and is now underweight, because in order to make him look like a nobleman, his wife makes him starve.

      If I was your parents I would find it so hard not to punch anyone starving or hurting my child in any way. I hope they stop doing that😢 As for what you said, is so true. My and my bf's family have various levels of status and money. The higher you go, the skinnier they want to be or the more diets they do. The lower you go the more food they make and the more you're encouraged to eat.
      Possible tmi:
      My most lower class family members forced me to overeat no matter the pain it caused. My most higher class family members watched me lose weight uncontrollably after getting sick and said they wish they could have what I got to my face when I told them how worried and underweight I was.
      I'm also a picky eater, but unfortunately my safe foods aren't "healthy" or "hearty" enough to either of them, so I get a lot of comments from both sides shaming me about it. I've had EDs from the thought of not being able to do anything right, going from starving to avoid stress, to binge eating to keep weight and not die. I got over most of that now, but I'm newly pregnant so the comments are coming back from everyone all the time now. My mother kinda gets it and my bf helps by making and buying me foods I can happily digest and enjoy, but sometimes they worry and get pushy that I cut out something or that I add something to my diet.

      I will say, my grandmother grew up in abject poverty to the point where her family couldn't afford shoes or proper clothes for school (she's one of 8 kids), and sometimes they'd have to chose which children ate. She is also a life-long anorexic, even at 86 years old, and unfortunately both myself and my mom developed EDs. She is unfortunately never going to recover, and it's very hard to watch. I think eating disorders are extremely complicated, and there are so many reasons why people develop them, of course socialization plays a large part for some but for others it's trauma, family, etc.

    this video made me remember an experience i had (does mention an eating disorder)
    i had gone over to a friend's house when i was like 13. He was a bigger kid, always slightly overweight but never unhealthy. I on the other hand was a lil more chubby than i wanted to be, which i developed anorexia from. I was eating dinner at this kids house, and the kids dad says to me "hon why don't you have another serving? here, have his actually, he doesn't need it, he can skip a few meals." and literally grabbed the plate from his own son, and gave it to me. This was his sons first serving. I just sorta stared at the dad, pushed the plate back to my friend, and called my mom to come get me. I never went over to his house again, but stayed friends with the kid until well after we graduated.

Every day we had a full on royal meal to eat more then 3 salads it didn't matter if no one eat them we had animals that would and 4 different kinds of the main meal and ofc 2 at least different desserts mostly apple pie and pasta flora with ice cream after she died everyone missed her cooking more then her tbh.
