[Minisode Part 1] Almond Mom: Are you an almond mom?

In this episode, Julie discusses how 'food noise' can be triggered when people start dieting again. She shares the experiences of individuals who have been working on repairing their relationship with food and how they use food noise as a cue to recognize when they are being triggered to diet. She then introduces the term 'almond mom' and explains its origin as a parent or caregiver consumed by the diet trap. Julie identifies five reasons why almond moms can be problematic, including teaching distrust of hunger and fullness, promoting disordered eating, reinforcing body hierarchy, encouraging control of one's body, and prioritizing others' enjoyment of one's body. She concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-compassion and time to repair one's complicated history with food.
