We’ve done a lot of great work in my house around listening to our bodies, silencing any praise or shame around body size and shape, and not restricting food for weight loss.

My aunt is coming to stay with me. She’s wonderful! I love her very much. She has cared about her weight her whole life, and has told me she’s on a new restrictive diet.

She sent before and after pictures, she’s talking about how she hopes she can reach her “goal weight.” At Christmas, she refused to even try one of the cookies we spent all day making, that I know she loves, and instead she ate a weird keto bar

How do I tell her that if she wants to diet, that’s her decision, but talking about her body and restrictions is not welcome here?

How do I do this and make it clear it’s out of respect for my personal boundaries, and love for her - and not being dismissive of something she is proud of?

EDITED to make it clear I’m wondering how to talk to her about my boundaries
