[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 5'2"and in order to maintain goal weight, I don't need very many calories at all.  I build muscle very quickly, so if I work out, I bulk up (I know most people say this doesn't happen, but it does to me, I'm short and strong, like a stump)

to the people saying that the dieters are setting a bad example for the kids, phooey.  My daughter has my exact same build, so I feel like it's my obligation to teach her about OUR body, not some other person's body who writes for Women's health.  Sometimes fasting is a great thing to do, watching calories and intake is a way to stay healthy, eating portions that are right for other people is not right for us (we are SMALL).  We don't need to eat as other people to stay healthy, we need lots of water and protein, any sugar will become a mood swing, and the only thing that will make our legs longer or our knees slimmer is a hallucination.

wow. I don't even know where to start with this your daughter is not you Nora she an extension of you. She is her own person with her own body

. You have no obligation to teach your daughter at all about how an adult woman should take care of her body. Your job is to teach your daughter nutrition and healthy exercise and how to best take care of her growing body.

Telling her what she needs and doesn't need based on your experience is absolutely setting up some kind of disordered, dysmorphic thinking of looking at your body[/quote]
