Bridge The Food Gap

01/12/2026

Remember the bridge isn’t a straight line — and it doesn’t have to be crossed all at once.

Sometimes the bridge is just learning why food feels hard.

Holiday Bingo —
Use this BINGO card to help decompress. The holidays can amplify food-related stress, pressure, and misunderstanding. Your needs are real. Your boundaries are allowed. And your worth is never measured by what’s on your plate.

We hope you have a wonderful holiday season!

A reminder this Thanksgiving

ARFID isn’t “pickiness.”

It’s a real eating disorder that can make holiday meals feel overwhelming — new textures, smells, expectations, and social pressure.

If you’re supporting someone with ARFID today
• Offer options without commenting on their plate
• Avoid pushing new foods
• Focus on connection, not the menu

Enjoy each other!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

4 Things You Don’t Have to Explain to Anyone (ARFID Edition)

1. Your Plate:
Whether it’s all beige foods, all safe foods, or looks “different” from everyone else’s — it’s yours.

2. Your Portions:
You don’t owe anyone a bigger serving, a second helping, or an explanation.

3. Your Progress:
Progress with ARFID is slow, non-linear, and deeply personal. Tiny wins count, even if others don’t see them.

4. Your Sensory Needs:
Texture, smell, temperature, appearance — these are real, valid experiences. Not preferences.

Set your boundaries by saying:
“No food comments today, please.”
“My plate is my business.”
“Safe foods are staying on the menu.”
“No pressure. No pushing. Just connection.”
“Respect my boundaries = supporting my recovery.”

New Blog Post: ARFID & Thanksgiving

So when we think about Thanksgiving being just around the corner, followed quickly by Christmas, why don’t we think together, and on our own, about what the holidays mean to us, and how we feel about family time and food?
