Just to be clear, I'm not obsessing about anything but I do want and plan to ensure that my child is healthy. Manaloa and I have had several exchanges on this forum about how we've talked to our daughters about the importance of being healthy and making good choices when it comes to food for the sake of
fitness.
I certainly am not saying to my child, "You're
fat and need to lose some weight," but as her mother I owe it to her to make sure she's healthy and to lead by example. If I make healthy choices, she will too. Too many children in this country are overweight, do you suggest we do nothing about it? If she learns now she will take the proper approach to eating and
fitness into her adult life and won't need to be on
weight loss forums looking for support like her mother.
Why be so quick to assume that we're being unhealthy about it because we want our kids to be fit?
