This is a free preview of a bonus episode! You can access the full podcast episode here when you support the show on Patreon at www.patreon.com/fullplate. Abbie’s husband, Jeb, joins the pod (back by popular demand!) to help answer holiday questions from listeners. The questions get at the heart of all the ways the holiday season can impact our thoughts, anxieties, and behaviors around food, body image, and close relationships.
Topics include reverting to only eating safe foods when presented with a lot more food than usual, feeling restless with unplanned time, dealing with other people’s food rules when you’re in their homes, and how to deal with judgement while eating what you truly want (regardless of other people’s comments).
