It's not uncommon to hear talk about diets and weight gain during the holidays, so practice setting boundaries ahead of time with a therapist, if possible. For example, "if a conversation is making you feel uncomfortable, you can ask to change the subject, remove yourself from the conversation, or let the person know how you are feeling," Dr. Weiser said.
Another good boundary to set? "Hide or unfollow unhelpful social media accounts, especially ones that share diet culture messages around the holidays," she added.
