What to do when someone comments on your weight (Almond Mum advice)

As a mom, dietitian, and 2x best-selling author, I understand the unique challenges of navigating family dynamics around food and body image. Ever find yourself at family dinners where the main course seems to be unsolicited comments about your weight? It’s like a secret menu item: critique served with a side of awkwardness and shame. The truth is that if someone close to you, like your mom or dad, is commenting on your weight or criticising your body and food choices – it says a lot more about their relationship with food than it does about your size. Sometimes, the very people who should be your biggest cheerleaders end up being the ones who drop your self-esteem faster than confetti at a surprise party. So, what do you do when someone close to you comments on your weight? In this video, I'll walk you through practical steps to handle, deflect, and discuss body and food comments from family and friends. And if you're worried you'll pass on poor body image concerns to your kids, I'll also share 4 practical strategies to help you raise kids who have a healthy relationship with food and their bodies.
