Navigating relationships with your partner, friends, and family can be difficult for anyone. It can become even more difficult when those people diet regularly while you have a rough relationship with what you eat. It’s a rocky combination. Instead of avoiding these people, and subsequently, your life, you need to learn how to talk to these people. Going through the recovery process alone can be a terrifying path, but having strong relationships with people that you can open yourself up to can help make it a smoother ride. To keep these healthy relationships, it is important to set boundaries with these people. Stay tuned to hear Whitney’s advice on just how to do that. 

Whitney shares:

• Letting people in on your recovery when you feel ready
• Easiest ways to tell someone about your mental health problems
• Internalizing negative self-talk from the outside
• Staying on the same team as yourself
• Practicing patience with others around what they say

• Making it known that help is available
