[quote=Anonymous]My 10-year-old is a bit chunky too. She's very active and plays multiple sports (during the soccer season, she's working out 5-6 days a week), but she does have a sweet tooth, and genetically, she will never be a skinny kid. (neither dad or I are fat or even chubby but we are both pretty solid/muscular.) I know way too many women who have disordered eating because of body image issues - many of whom have moms who were on their case growing up about their weight - so I tread very lightly in this area. I try to model healthy living (I work out daily) and I try to make good food choices in front of her, and we talk about what good food choices are. We talk about portion control and foods that fuel us vs. empty calories. We are going on a bit of a "healthier living" challenge this summer, all 3 of us, and trying to eat out less and put more veggies into our diets and eat fewer sweets. We'll see if it works.[/quote]
