I just found you through the Healthy You Challenge and can really relate to the importance of helping children feel good about themselves and their bodies without pressure. While I have no children of my own, I remember all too well hearing "you'd be so pretty if you just lost weight," as a child and what it did to my self-image. Bravo for you making sure your daughters understand that it's fun to get out and move your bodies, not work.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00554222495613649397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291713632108605822.post-51558208804169048192010-02-05T15:39:12.688-06:002010-02-05T15:39:12.688-06:00"I also don't allow my daughters to hear ..."I also don't allow my daughters to hear me call myself fat or say that I am on a diet. I don't want my girls to become self conscious about their weight."<br /><br />Good for you! I just finished "Do I Look Fat in This?" by Jessica Weiner: it talks about how damaging it is for children to hear that kind of talk. That being said, I'll never forget the day my baby sister - all of 5 years old at the time - broke down into a torrent of tears one day before school because her outfit made her butt "look big." My mother and I were horrified, because we were the ones she could have learned that from.Chibihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04247441931305025516noreply@blogger.com
