This is a big win for Dietitians - new clinical practice guidelines for adults with obesity. Many of us have been advocating for a long time to have these messages reinforced within the medical community - namely (1) that your size or weight does not automatically determine health, and (2) that obesity is complex, multi-causal, not indicative of a personality flaw, and needs more than 'eat less, move more' for lasting change.

FOUR free mental health resources for Canadians! Use it beautiful people! Wellness Together Canada (https://ca.portal.gs/) provides free online resources, tools, apps, and connections to trained volunteers and qualified mental health professionals when needed. These resources and tools include modules for addressing low mood, worry, substance use, social isolation, and relationship issues. BounceBack (www.Bouncebackontario.ca ) is a free skill-building program manag...ed by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) to help people manage low mood, mild to moderate depression and anxiety, and stress or worry. Support is delivered over the phone with a coach and through online videos. www.BigWhiteWall.com is a free, anonymous, online social platform for individuals experiencing mild to moderate anxiety and/or depression. It is moderated by trained wall guides 24/7 and is a place to connect and receive support from others with similar experiences.

The Centre for Mental Health and Addictions (CAMH) also provides a link for self-referral to psychotherapy and psychiatric services at five designated hospitals.

Peterborough, let's do this!!!

Ladies, it's International Women's Day, and we need to have a conversation about our drive to diet. For many women, the reality is a lifelong pursuit of a thinner or more 'socially acceptable' size or shape. We've named it the drive. The drive is complicated. It is learned. It is fed by multiple personal and societal values, that affect our self-identity, self-esteem, thoughts and behaviours. Self-acceptance and self-love is a difficult notion to adopt when you're affected by... the drive. It is our hope that by starting this conversation, we'll be able to better understand what drives us, which may help us work towards greater self-acceptance. This group is a safe and open forum where women can start this conversation. We are not selling you anything. Join this group for yourself, your daughters, grand-daughters and nieces. Please feel free to share this post with others!

Dietitians in Canada have been working hard to separate dietary advice and food marketing bias. Please help stop this nonsense. Tell Sheer to butt out. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this article by Rosie Schwartz.

Cash-saving tip! Plus this will last so much longer in your freezer. It would spoil before I’d have a chance to eat it all if it was left in the fridge.

We all need this book.
