@epicuriousexpeditions: May is Mental Health Awareness month. People don’t talk about food trauma nearly enough. McSalad Shakers Romain lettuce, washed and sliced Grilled Chicken, recipe follows Parmesan Cheese Crackers Dressing Grilled Chicken 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs dill pickle juice Juice of 1 lemon 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 2 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp smoked paprika 1/2 tsp parsley Wash chicken breasts.

What’s worse than being bullied by strangers, is being bullied by your own family.

As someone who was also bullied for dieting and being a chunky kid, thank you for talking about this! 💜

Bugs on produce are good, it means there wasn’t an overuse of pesticides

I love working out. I couldn’t workout around my family because they’d make fun of me. I didn’t workout until I was in my mid-20s because I always thought I was being laughed at.

Love this message! And I had to chuckle at the “it was the 90s” song in there. Kevin was one of the first people that popped up on my fyp

Yes! I only was allowed to get those salad shakers or snack wrap while my siblings got happy meals so that also added to it 😅

I was a child anorexic and these salad shakers were my jam. the calories they provided likely saved me from countless extra hospital visits

Even losing weight doesn’t stop teasing i was a fat kid (teased by both teachers and peers) and once i lost weight (by maybe falling into some unhealthy weight loss methods) i was teased for being “flat” life doesn’t get easier. But i love this some things just shouldn’t be said especially about someone’s diet or weight!

I remember being laughed at because my hips would bump into the desks next to me every time I went to drop off my homework or classwork.
in my mind, it was easier to let my grades suffer from not turning in work than to get laughed at.
😔 bullying is the worst.

Thank you for sharing this. Virtual hugs from a fellow bullied chunky kid - nicknamed watermelon in elementary school and dragged to weight watchers meetings with my grandma weekly since I was 8. I think a lot of us came out more empathetic and protective of others because of it. Also, this salad shaker looks AMAZING! That would be perfect in my work lunch!

I am SO sorry they were mean to you. You never deserve that.😞 I was taunted no matter what I ate. I was on Slimfast in 5th grade, followed by so many fad diets. It really messed me up.

I remember having a bottle of water and my mom put slices of lemon in the bottle to make it more “healthy” and lose the weight and everyone made fun of me. The teachers and the students. I was TEN years old

I’ve never seen anyone talk about this before!! For me the diet shaming was worse than the fat shaming. It’s something I’m still struggling with to this day.
