[quote=Anonymous]You can talk about your struggles. But you can’t say “whatever you do don’t be fat.” Do you know what people do to try not to be fat? Being fat is a struggle, but so is yo-yo dieting, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorders, fixation with your body, etc. Those things will probably happen to your kid if you say that, no matter how much lip service you give to health. And it won’t work. Your daughter has to deal with your genetics. She’ll probably be fat too. Do you want her to be fat and okay with her body or fat and live with intense shame around her body like you do? She should read Roxane Gay and Lindy West. They have amazing books and essays about their bodies. [/quote]
