[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom wasn’t obese but she had huge self esteem issues. Hearing her put herself down had a huge impact on my own self esteem. I still think I’m the ugliest person and was terrified of turning 40 because she had early menopause and I’m still somewhat convinced 40 is the end of life. Never put yourself down in front of her. Even small comments. [/quote] I had an upbringing like this, and I work REALLY HARD to be better for my daughter. OP, can you get some therapy? This is a hugely important issue. You want to raise a daughter who loves herself and can go out into the world and love other people. But, to get her there, you should model loving yourself. If you're not happy with your weight, you can work on it. If you are happy with your weight, you should own it. The concept of body neutrality is interesting and I think more helpful than the quest to be skinny OR the "healthy at every size" movements. [/quote]
