[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think[b] the real message you send is that being not-fat is unachievable. Otherwise, why would you still be fat, if it's so awful?[/b] She will feel like it's inevitable and unavoidable. Much better to model good eating, exercise, and a focus on health rather than size (IMO).[/quote] +1. You think it will help her, but you might just send the message that if you gain weight, it's all over. Better to improve your own diet in healthy, sustainable ways, and become more active, and to talk about non-appearance-related benefits. Like, if you take a brisk walk every day, do you sleep better and have a better mood? If you lose some extra pounds, do you feel like you have more energy? You demonstrate how to make choices that make your body feel and work better, rather than model despair and bitterness and helplessness. [/quote]
