[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] He told me yesterday that we couldn't have pizza for lunch, go paddle boarding, then have cupcakes because it wasn't healthy. We could have either pizza or cupcakes in one day.[/quote]

And what did you say in response? Are you worried about orthorexia or healthism? [/quote]

I asked what he'd rather have instead. We ended up having pizza, paddle boarding, and having frozen yogurt. He also considered having a chicken Caesar salad and cupcake.  I'm not concerned with it. He still has treats fairly regularly, he just looks at the bigger picture. if he really wanted a cupcake with buttercream frosting, that's what he would have had. i was a D1 athlete and have competed in Olympic Weightlifing for the past 6 years and I don't diet. I've always emphasized that my food choices are part of my lifestyle and not a diet. Some days I eat a lot of fat because my shoulders hurt, some days I eat a ton of carbs because I'm just worn out and need the glycogen. I would rather he sees from an early age that food is fuel and uses it to his advantage. He swims competitively and has figured out how to eat around his practice and meet times to get the best performance. It's actually very cool to see. [/quote]
