[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you’re coming from a good intention OP. You don’t want her to suffer the same pain you have. That kind of transparency is really healthy. But is your message basically - Do as I say, Not as I do - that’s not really a great message….. I hope if you’re willing to be transparent, that you also share what you are doing to change being fat… what efforts you are making… I hope you aren’t eating pizzas and pastas and junk food in front her thinking that just telling her being fat sucks is enough…. What you role model matters more than what you say.[/quote]

OP, you deserve to have great self esteem and should go ahead and do any/all work needed to get there! That will be the best gift to your daughter. It's about much more than fat, as you know. My neighbor is a size 0 with aggressively obvious implants, vocally obsessed with designer clothes, and talks at the school bus stop about whether other women in the neighborhood are fitter or richer than she is ... I can only imagine the number this is doing on her children. [/quote]
