Can we stop with the quarantine fat jokes please? Here's my latest for Psychology Today.

Excellent interview in The New York Times by one of my favorite meditation teachers Jack Kornfield sharing some guidance on coping with the current crisis.

I’m about to go live with Jenna Hollenstein, MS, RDN, CDN over on Instagram. Come join us for a conversation on food, body, and emotions in this time of crisis.

It’s been 20 days since I since left my house. In that time, I have not learned a new language, implemented a new fitness routine, read the countless books sitting in my Kindle library, or started the online course that I bought with the best of intentions earlier this year. Instead, I have spent much of the past few weeks in a state of shock, grappling with the enormity of what is happening in our world and the more mundane challenges of working from home while homeschooling my preschooler and being on baby patrol with my newly mobile infant. Check out my latest for Psychology_Today about why there is no "right" way to cope with a global pandemic.

Join me today at 1pm EST when I go LIVE on INSTAGRAM to talk about coping with the current crisis. If you have specific questions or things you want me to cover, please drop them in the comments

Highlighting more of the problems with WW (formerly Weight Watchers)new diet app for kids, including a warning against the app by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Parents who diet are more likely to raise kids who diet. We CAN break the cycle! #mindfuleating #intuituveeating #theantidietplan

WW has just released a diet app for kids and it’s even more awful than you can imagine. Here is Virginia Sole-Smith’s take for The New York Times

Just one more reason to get off the dieting bandwagon. Weight cycling (losing and regaining weight and repeat) associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes for women.

TheNewYorkTimes covers Intuitive Eating and diet culture. What do you think?

Diet-culture at its finest! Heart-breaking to see how young we internalize these messages

"The pain of being raised by a narcissistic mother can feel like death by a thousand paper cuts..." For all of those who are facing Mother's Day with a mother who is unable to love you; know that you are not alone. I wish you a day filled with self-compassion and self-care where you can give yourself the love that your mother couldn't give.

Don’t believe everything you read (especially on social media)!

Eating disordersincluding anorexiaoccur across the size spectrum.

It was a blast working with Real Women Real Stories to spread awareness about how our culture impacts the way that we feel about food and our bodies.

Must-read article for anyone diagnosed with prediabetes or who is worried about this diagnosis.

By iaedp member Alexis Conason, Psy.D. Psychology Today #healthyeating #eatingdisorder

Hi Everyone, The live feature on FB is not working so we are going to postpone today's scheduled live event on "Can mindful eating be a weight loss plan?" for 2 weeks from now, Wednesday 3/27 at noon. Hope to see everyone then! No live event next week--I'll be out for jury duty.

Why we find them so compelling is that they capitalize on the fantasy that it would be so easy to transform our lives. And of course the narrative is that if we transform our body, then we’ll transform our lives: the unhappy, fat before picture and the sexy, successful, happy after picture, Conasan says. They promote the idea that one type of body is bad and one type of body is good. #antidiet #haes #bodyimage
