This week however, instead of answering a question, Kat offers 5 important reminders to consider before walking into your family Thanksgiving Dinner.    You do not need to starve yourself in order to earn a Thanksgiving meal.  Just because someone says something it doesn’t mean you have to accept it. If your stomach looks like you ate after you ate- it’s because you ate.  If you get overwhelmed you can ask for what you need.  Your Mother in laws comments about food/ bodies/ exercise etc are about her not you.     Follow Kat on Instagram: @Kat.Defatta Follow the podcast Instagram: @YouNeedTherapyPodcast Have a question, concern, guest idea, something else?
