What Are The Consequences of Not Breaking Cycles?

As you think about your own relationship with food and your body, do you wonder:

• What food rules and disordered eating behaviors your parents could have had?

• What food rules for yourself?

• How your thoughts about food impact how you feel about yourself and your body?

• How your food rules might affect your child’s relationship with food and their own body?

I believe it is an important topic of conversation for pregnant, postpartum, and parenting people to explore our own relationship with food and body, and how it can directly impact our children’s relationship with food and body

Just as we watched our parent’s actions and listened to the messages they gave themselves or us, our children are also always watching and listening. Even when we think they are not. 

• A child notices when they see their parent frowning at themselves in the mirror. 

• A child notices when their parent makes comments about feeling “bad” or “guilty” after eating certain foods.

• A child notices when their parent eats a different dinner than they do because the parent is feeling they can’t eat the same foods as their children can.

So what can we do as parents to make a positive change for our own children’s - and our own - relationship with food and body? 

It can be hard to know how to change deeply rooted beliefs and behaviors, especially if a healthy relationship with food and body was not modeled for you by your own parents. And it is still possible to make a change

My hope for you is that my FREE LIVE webinar - Nurtured & Embodied: Find Peace With Food & Body (During Pregnancy, Postpartum, & Beyond) - can help to relieve some (or a lot!) of that pain, and for you to feel like you can let go of old beliefs and habits, and move forward into parenthood with confidence and balance in your relationships with food and your body.
