Talking about Food

Hello! I have been really struggling with my family / friends and my new forever diet (as my mother has been calling it). She still thinks, this is a diet instead of my new lifestyle. I have been working on how to talk to her and others about food.

I recently read a post on Strong Girls. https://www.girlsgonestrong.com/social-sabotage-how-to-respond-to-criticism-about-your-food-and-exercise/?awt_l=pafau6&awt_m=3YIWG4kHZ5j4sIP

It was fantastic and gave me many new ideas for having "the food" discussion with friends and family. I wanted to share her in case it helps any of you. I know it will help me.

PS - this is a great BLOG to subscribe to.
