There’s a lot to unpack about the almond mom trend.
Although it’s gained popularity recently, the trend’s origins go back to 2013.
Yolanda replied nonchalantly, “Have a couple of almonds and chew them really well.”
However, throughout the show, Yolanda made several questionable statements to Gigi.
She discouraged Gigi from playing volleyball, fearing that it would make her look too masculine.
Sadly, tons of people saw their parents in Yolanda.
And they took to TikTok to share their traumatic experiences in a light-hearted manner.
They were made to believe these “unhealthy” foods would compromise their overall health and physique.
They shouldn’t have subjected a child to the same toxic behavior.
As with any healing process, the first step is to accept your emotions and recognize the damage.
You should also work on healing your relationship with food and exercise and gaining moreself-confidence.
Always remember there’s no such thing as “good” or “bad” food.
We need all kinds of foods to live and thrive."
Diet culture often leads us to believe that consuming energy-dense food like carbs equates to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Further, remember that the benefits of exercise go beyond aesthetics.
Establish some boundaries for when you see your almond mom again.
Avoid talking about food.
Be mindful of their trauma but stand your ground.
