Talking with Emma: Stop fighting food & weight

How to Respond When People Make Dumb Body or Food Comments


Listen Later

Even when you’ve done a lot of work on body respect, off-hand comment can send your nervous system into a spin.

In this episode, you’ll learn a simple in-the-moment process to help when someone says something thoughtless about your body or your food.

You’ll hear how to:

• Expect comments so you’re not blindsided
• Understand why these moments trigger such a strong reaction
• Calm your nervous system without having to educate or engage
• Step away, redirect or take a break without guilt
• Set a boundary if it feels safe — and what a real boundary actually is
• Support yourself, even if others don’t change

You’ll walk away with a plan you can use at any dinner table, family gathering, or social situation where body talk tends to show up.
