#SetAndMaintainBoundaries
From work lunches to family gatherings, eating with others when you have dietary restrictions can be full of confrontation and challenges. Learn how to deflect well-meaning-but-ultimately-tiresome questions and defuse snarky comments from loved ones and frenemies alike. Develop self-advocacy skills for home, school, work, while traveling, in the hospital . . . y'know, pretty much anywhere you'll need to interact with people about food.
#AintNoShameInTheMentalGame
Food can be a complicated topic. There are a lot of emotions tied up with food, eating, and nourishment -- not all of them happy. Many people go through a grieving process when their diet becomes restricted. There's often sadness, anger, and feelings of loss, especially when it comes to some of our favorite foods that we can no longer have. We're not counselors, but you can cry and rage to us about these perfectly normal feelings. We promise we won't sugar-coat anything. (Can we even have sugar? No? DAMMIT.)
#BodyBetrayals and #SwearyLanguage
Having your body fall apart and betray you is incredibly frustrating. It's not at all unusual for people to cope by developing a reeeeeeeally dark sense of humor or by using colorful language. Some people might say it's inappropriate, but when you're starving and mad at your body and can't find anything to eat . . . well, let's just say a lot of us might get inappropriate under those circumstances. We're not perfect, and we're not going to pretend you should be, either.
