How to Stay Body Positive & Survive the Holidays - Heavy Heart -to-Heart

I needed to hear this right now ❤️ Sending lots of love to everybody who is struggling this holiday season - you are perfect just the way you are ❤️

I grew up always being the biggest kid everywhere I went. I had both family and strangers make rude comments. As an adult I had weight loss surgery. I realized I am not comfortable big or small. Weight loss surgery did not fix my issues with food either. In general loving yourself the way you are and no matter what is so important. Accept yourself flaws and all. Focus on the things you love and surround yourself with people that love you as is. Life is way to short to be unhappy. 😊

"You'd be so pretty if you just lost weight!" "And you'd seem so smart if you just stop talking. In another universe, eh?" Ok, I get people probably can't snark back without causing drama, so I heartily concur with Kaylie's suggestions for more polite clapbacks. You can also say "OK. Rude. Nice to see you too, Aunt Midge." Or "Unh hunh, oh look, brand new shiny change of topic." Or "Boundary line, do not cross." Personally I'm a fan of biting people who cross the line. If they can't be good for conversation, they can at least be an appetizer.

yeah, i know what you mean by there being a tone of weight loss and fitness commercials on tv, they usually come right after christmas. i usually constantly have battles with my parents over my weight, they keep saying i eat too much, yet we always go out for fast food, or my mom passes off candy or chocolate to me she gets from her work place during the holidays. like if you want me to loss weight your certainly not helping. the last time i saw the any of family relatives, they never really brought the issue of my weight which I'm grateful for. so yeah, i can agree just do whatever your most comfortable with and don't like pressured into losing weight and that it is okay in indulge in whatever makes you happy, but also important to know your limits and don't over do it.

What about when you start getting really scared because relatives who may also be plus size and they find out they have some type of health issue? I get so scared because Diabetes runs in my family skinny people plus size people everyone in between seems to get it and I've always been scared just now more than ever because I've gained a decent amount of weight because BC and it just makes me anxious because I never go to the doctor (a couple recent times I've only seen a doctor for MH issues no body issues). A lot of my issues are in my head when it comes to weight hardly anyone has pointed out the weight gain but I'm gonna start going back to College and I'll be more active on a schedule I hope it can help my mind settle more.

I would say I'm pretty fortunate because my parents never told me I weighed a lot they always said I should eat more and I don't eat enough which is good, my grandmother was very skinny and tiny and she would take laxatives to stay thin and it worked but made her really sick and she used to tell my mom and aunts that they were too fat which (she's been dead for 20 years) and I would tell my mom how horrible that is I feel really bad that theres parents out there who tell their YOUNG KIDS that they're too fat its such toxic behavior and underlying manipulation that if it hurts their feeling enough then they'll stop eating.

Sephra Rae I think it’s important to see a doctor regularly, especially when you have a history of illness in your family. It can be hard, especially when you’re large and nervous about being treated properly by medical staff, but there are lists out there you can look up of fat friendly doctors in your area. And as for dealing with judgements/concern trolling from family and friends regarding health, the same stuff applies. You don’t have to discuss anything you don’t want to, that makes you uncomfortable. And it’s not as if you’re unaware of your family history or health issues, so you don’t need anyone telling you what you already know! You get to control what you eat and how much, what you talk and don’t talk about, and whether or not you even want to engage with certain people or attend certain events. Be your own best advocate!
