[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread describes my MIL. She has no dinner or wine for dinner. When she's getting crazy she'll have cheese and pear at dinner. Breakfast - yogurt. Lunch - maybe maybe not. When they visit us she talks about how she will be fasting the week she gets home. [b] Also[i] constant comments[/i] on what others are eating, including strangers, and the weight and size of others. So tiresome and judgmental[/b][/quote]

My mother sometimes..I feel sad because I know how she feels about her own body. Gives her power/ego boost when she sees MO or overweight ppl like "At least I am not that big." Mind you, this woman is not portly, just could alleviate her diabetes by losing 20lbs, I think. Whew, I do not miss living with her weight obsession, it is sad. And she was a health professional, btw, not that that means she would be any more 'woke' or immune to poor self-image. But this is sooooo dangerous when you have daughters. My goodness, I hope to have at least one daughter so I can raise a young woman differently, with positive body messages.[/quote]

+1. I had an ED in my teens (nothing to do with my mom-she had no body image issues).  One of my main motivators to be healthy, fit, and strong vs. skinny and obsessed with weight is to be a positive role model for my daughters.  [/quote]
