Those remembered comments can lead to more and more anxiety in the lead up to the holidays.

A gentle reminder- RSD is your brain's threat detection and pattern matching gone haywire, not reality.

If you barely survived school or dropped out entirely, you're not lazy or stupid.

You don't need my permission, but if you find yourself in an RSD spiral, remember:

You can leave.

You can fake a work emergency.

You can say "I have to go" and just... go.

You don't need a reason that satisfies them. Protecting your mental health IS the reason.

We're gearing up for the holiday season, so now is an excellent time to start practicing your scripted shut downs and grey-rocking skills, because your body is no ones business.

Yes, this is ANOTHER reminder to start practicing your scripts!

💠 "If you're concerned, don't bring it up at dinner"
💠 "I have a therapist for that, thanks."

Your body is not a family discussion topic. PERIOD.

STOP. Your judgmental family's comments are a diet-culture brain rot THEM problem, not a you problem.

You're not broken.

You're allowed to love your body and eat what you want. Unfollow anyone who makes you feel shame around food.

Hell yeah

Also, for brownie points, drop your favorite clap-backs in the comments.
For science. 😜

Start practicing your scripts now:
💠 "All food is just food."
💠 "I'm not labeling my eating today."
💠 "That's a weird thing to say out loud."

PRO-TIP: Have your phone ready to suddenly need to "take this call" and leave the table.
