156. But How Do I Handle Insensitive Comments?
Episode description
You know what's hard in a life after diets? When people comment on your body or your food choices. How are we supposed to respond? It is a tough balance between setting boundaries, managing conflict, and not feeling triggered.
The conversation starts out with a reflection of Stef's conversation the previous day with her Mom, but moves through different scenarios that we might run up against in our non-diet culture driven life. Some scenarios include: what if someone asks me if I'm pregnant? What if someone is just ignorant or making a non-critical observation? What if their comment triggers my own self doubt?
