286: Setting Boundaries in Your Intuitive Eating Journey

"You've gained weight, are you pregnant?" I will never forget the moment when a co-worker said this to me so casually as she passed me in the parking lot.   I wasn't pregnant. I had been gaining weight because I was healing my relationship with food. And at that time in my life, I was *deeply* uncomfortable with it. I can't remember what I said back to her but I do remember going to my car and crying about it.   I can't help but wonder if I had understood how to stand up for myself and had clear boundaries about what was allowed to be said to me, how that conversation might have changed.   So in today's episode I am going to give you some examples of setting boundaries in hopes it helps you continue in your intuitive eating journey.   So much of what will help in the intuitive eating journey is provided in our program, Food and Body Peace Playbook, a step by step guide for how to make peace with food, respect your body and live wellness without obsession.   This program was formerly called Permission Stage Playbook and what we learned from the 75 incredible women who took the course is that body image is as much of a need of yours as intuitive eating. So we've been working hard over the summer to revamp the program and it will be officially available to you at the end of September. You can join the waitlist to get a special discount and first dibs on the only 20 spots available here.   Looking for more direct, one-on-one support, or have medical conditions you need help navigating as part of your intuitive eating journey?
