Scenario

When family members push their diet culture beliefs on others

My mom has been on and off diets my whole life and now she's trying to get me and my siblings to join her latest weight loss program, saying she wants us all to be 'healthy together.' But her version of healthy feels restrictive and shame-based to me, and I don't know how to set boundaries without hurting her feelings or seeming like I don't care about the family.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Generational diet mentality is being imposed as family bonding while triggering resistance and guilt in others.
