[quote=Anonymous]The idea that weight is a taboo topic that can't be talked about actually contributes to disordered body image. When something is secret and taboo and not something that can be discussed it becomes a problem. There are many ways to talk about weight and health that aren't going to create an eating disorder. I grew up in a home where health was talked about openly - sleep, physical activity, weight, nutrition, stress management, we talked about all of it. I do the same with my kids. It is just part of the conversation. Neither or nor any of my 5 siblings nor any of my kids have eating disorders or any issues with body image. The idea that we should be blind to weight and make it a taboo topic is really unhealthy. Obesity is a real issue and it isn't healthy. [/quote]
