Thanksgiving Survival Guide: Navigating Diet Culture, Body Image, and Relatives

Diet culture, fueled by societal expectations and the prevalence of photoshopped images on social media, has a detrimental impact on the way women perceive themselves. To combat this, it is important to ignore diet culture by unfollowing accounts that don't serve you, donating clothes that no longer fit, and practicing affirmations that remind you of your worth. Remember that you are not defined by your weight, but by how you treat yourself and others. This Thanksgiving, give yourself some love and allow yourself to enjoy the holiday without guilt.
