Thanksgiving Dinner Conversation Pledge
Who will join me this year in my pledge NOT to talk about
--How bad I am for eating so much
--How bad I am for eating these particular foods (Californians, take special note of this one)
--How bad I am for being so fat
Imagine what it would be like if everyone at your Thanksgiving table took this pledge. What would you talk about instead? These are a few of my own preferred topics...
--How good the food actually tastes when I'm not apologizing for loving it
--A few of the million things I'm grateful for in my life
--Who I miss -- the loved who are far away, and those who are no longer embodied
--What I like about the people I get to spend this day with
--Whose butt I intend to kick at Scrabble after the dishes are done
Fresh ideas to help with body image, self-esteem, and emotional well-being, from a Health at Every Size perspective.
