How Do I Stick Up For My Food Choices Around The In Laws?

On this week’s Dear DST, we hear from a listener who is concerned about visiting her boyfriend’s family and sticking to the way she’s used to eating. How do we manage anxiety in a setting like that? They tackle how it’s okay to bring her own snacks and vocalize when she’d like to eat. But, it’s also okay to allow yourself to try the coffee creamer you’re not used to, instead of your usual skim milk — you might end up liking it so much more. Then they talk about some of the foods they’ve realized they don’t love, and Aleen admits to not liking a certain food that will have the DST’ers up in arms. Learn more about your ad choices.
