Is anyone else rewatching old holiday movies and realizing how incredibly messed up the messaging was 🙋‍♀️

If you were a young person in the early 2000’s you can now reflect on how damaging and insidious diet culture was at that time. ⁠
⁠
Movies, TV, magazines went to great length to reinforce that weight is entirely in our control. That weight gain is a moral failing and based strictly on willpower and determination. Research says that this is just NOT TRUE. We know that our weight is actually based on complex interactions between over 100 factors including genetics, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, stress, sleep, nutrition, weight cycling...⁠
⁠
💔No wonder we have a messed up relationship with our bodies! During our most impressionable time these were the messages we internalized. ⁠
⁠
So if you identified with this movie during this time, I see you. It will take time to unlearn and relearn, but I am here for it. ⁠Do you remember this movie? Did you notice anything amiss at the time or no?⁠ ⁠👇👇👇

In other words…. don’t talk about their bodies.

Don’t comment if they have gotten bigger. Don’t comment if they have gotten smaller. Talk about literally. Anything. Else.

We have so many other things to talk about. Body talk is so often harmful.

Do you worry about people commenting on your body this holiday season? Comment below 👇

You can’t always protect your kids from your family member and their comments about weight, shape or food intake. Especially during the holidays when they may not have seen your family for a while 💔

So instead of avoiding aunt Karen, your cousins or even your mom you can SHUT DOWN diet culture by:
✨Being compassionate, they are still living by diet culture rules
✨Let your kids hear you stand up for them by saying things like “they are growing just fine according to their growth curve” or “she know exactly how much she needs to grow and thrive”
✨THEN remind them that “kids have it a lot harder these days and we are trying to raise him/her with a healthy relationship with food and their bodies. Can we skip the weight/diet/food talk”

📌SAVE this post to remind you of my key anti-diet messages to (politely) tell family member to back off! Do you remember any of these messages being told to you as a kid? Comment below 👇

Ok everyone is talking about and I can’t wait to see it tonight! 🧙

But if I could choose what Ariana Grande is whispering here I would pick these thoughts 💭

Which one of these is your fav? 1, 2, 3 or 4?

11/17/2025

Which one will your kids never hear you say? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6?

It’s time to help our kids have a different relationship with food in their body than we did growing up. It’s time to break cycles!

What is the legacy we want to leave our children ?!
⁠
To feel like their body is wrong? That it needs to be changed in order to be more socially acceptable? That they can’t trust their body cues? No. ⁠
⁠
Dieting and body hatred is intergenerational trauma. ⁠And sadly we learn it from those who love us most.
⁠
If we don’t want our children to struggle with food and their body it’s time to stop the cycle. It starts with us and I promise that I can help ❤️

No it’s not just “diet and exercise”, I thought I would do a refresher on the complex factors that affect weight….

I often get ask “how do genes contribute to weight?”Genes can affect appetite, feelings of fullness, metabolism, food cravings, storage of fat and even the tendency to use eating as a way to cope with stress.

Our environment also plays a KEY role. If our neighbourhood is unsafe, there are no supermarkets with affordable food, and we need to work 2 jobs to pay our bills that is going to make a big difference.

These are just SOME of the factors that affect weight but there are many more. Many of these factors are outside our control.

It’s Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and I want you to keep the following mantra in mind “we provide, they decide.”

I know you WANT them to eat a variety of foods. So do I. But if we want to actually help them to learn to eat new foods, we need to stop MAKING them eat new foods.

When we pressure, bribe, encourage, threaten our kids to eat something we are telling them that food is SO BAD they need to be forced to eat it. No one is pressuring them to eat a cookie right?

When we let kids listen to their bodies most kids actually DO eat a balance of foods over a course of 1-2 weeks. Sometimes days they eat a lot of bread, other days they eat bowls and bowls of fruit, and sometimes they eat sausage after sausage. Kids (unlike adults) tend to only eat 1-2 foods per meal and that is normal and healthy.

So take a deep breathe and bite your tongue. This is how we teach them to listen to their body and honor their inner wisdom. Sometimes they will only eat bread and that’s ok too ❤️
