[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let me summarize once again: no one is saying healthy eating and exercise aren’t good practices. People are saying that OP’s post reeked of her own disordered thinking - SEPARATE from those practices - and likely caused her kids issues in the first place.

Yes, this is a perfect description.[/quote]

No, I think only one or a couple of you are doing this, and you're admitting that you're making assumptions about what you think is really going on. YOU sound like you have baggage around this and are projecting it onto OP.[/quote]

Let's try again.

OP posted on social media.
She started with "cured"
She stated that "infant never left a drop"
She stated that 'apples & grapes in her mind" were not reasonable snacks.
She feels 90 minutes of exercise daily is required, every single day. Like this is some revelation that DD has to do for the absolute rest of her life. If it's less than "90 minutes" daily?? 
She is way too focused on BMI. That is better to use as a guideline not an absolute metric.

It's great to give healthy choices. It's great to be supportive of your DC. It's not great that the child is constantly aware of her mother's sensitivity to weight gain, which is so completely obvious from her original post.

Some people are not genetically likely to be thin. Some people are genetically likely to be obese.  Those people will likely need to work to be normal weight for a good part of their lives.  Or they could just be obese.  You seem to prefer the latter.  And you think OP should listen to you and stop helping her DD work to be normal weight.

That's wrong.[/quote]

No not at all what I said. It really doesn't matter does it? OP decided to post on social media in a place where people comment. Why is anyone surprised some people do not agree with at post that starts with  "cured obesity". I totally support OP's desire to help her child be healthy. What I do not support is  the way she is going about it emotionally. There is a higher chance her thought process which again she posted on social media is not going to work long term. She comes off obsessive at best from day one. And while yes, figuring out that grapes and apples are ok for her DC to eat,  she has not "cured" her DC.  [/quote]
