My sister and I both inherited our family's complicated relationship with food and weight, and now our kids are watching us perpetuate the same patterns — we make comments about our bodies in front of them, we have the same food guilt our mom had. We keep saying we'll break the cycle but we don't know how to heal this together when we're both still so deep in it.
More people experience this than they realize.
Intergenerational trauma around body and food continues because the wounded are trying to heal the wounded.
