Unlearning Diet Culture as a mom
It’s in our human DNA to seek autonomy as we become adults. To be independent and self- sufficient; without having to fit someone’s expectations but our own. To be ourselves.
I mean as parents our role is to raise little humans to be autonomous, right?
But Diet Culture gets in the way of our autonomy as women. It tells us what to eat, how to move, and what size and shape our bodies should be.
You and I do not have to live our lives according to diet culture's rules and expectations. Decide to opt-out, totally up to you.
You can stay, or you can say: HELL NO!
