Summary
OUTWEIGH: In the second part of our holiday series on Outweigh, Amy and Leanne address a challenging topic: handling "food pushers" and unsolicited comments about your body during family gatherings.
Amy introduces the discomfort and triggering nature of these situations, while Leanne helps listeners understand the motivations behind food pushing—often rooted in cultural norms or personal love languages—and explains how unsolicited comments about weight typically reflect the other person's issues rather than your own.
Together, they provide practical tips for setting boundaries without guilt, offering polite yet firm responses to food pushers and examples of how to address unwanted comments about your body respectfully while protecting your peace.
To further support you, there's also a helpful PDF with scripts and cheat sheets, equipping you with the tools you need to navigate these tricky situations during the holidays confidently.
