Description

In this two-part episode, fellow anti-diet mom Virginia Sole-Smith and I discuss the ways in which culture sabotages parents, especially moms, by upholding unhelpful beliefs about food and weight. Tune in where we discuss how to handle unwelcome comments about our kids' bodies or food choices, what to do when they say "fat," and how to model body positivity. Plus I share some of my best tips for parents in setting boundaries with love and kindness. You'll also hear me talk about the "back off" Lunch Box card by The Feeding Doctor, Katja Rowell, MD and I share my experiences with my kids eating at school. Links mentioned The Feeding Doctor's Lunch Box "Back Off" note Leslie Schilling's completed "back off" card on Facebook and available in Born to Eat book. Here's a few of Virginia's recent articles on higher weight fertility, higher weight eating disorders, and the Kurbo weight loss app for kids: New York Times Magazine: When You're Told You're Too Fat to Get Pregnant Elemental: Who's Considered Thin Enough for Eating Disorder Treatment? New York Times: A New Weight Watchers App for Kids Raises Concerns Did you miss Part 1 of "Please don't screw up our kids?" Virginia shares her rock bottom moment of what it took to finally give her daughter chocolate milk and why she had to unlearn much of what she learned from culture, her childhood, and her work as a writer and editor within the health and beauty industry.
