[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you're bitter. And the talk should be about what's best for your daughter, not what you feel pressured by society to say. According to BMI charts I'm overweight, and haven't been thin since puberty. I tell my daughter that it's good to listen to your body and especially appetite cues, and find a way to eat balanced meals, because it's much easier to do so than to lose unwanted weight, when appetite cues go out the window and yoyo dieting is a huge problem. I also tell her I'm fine with my size, I don't worry about what people think, and I'm happy with my level of fitness (all true). She can choose to work harder on being thin, or live her life and enjoy food the way I do, I think both are valid options. I hope she never gets to a point where she feels like she's not in control of her food, that food is in control of her. [/quote]
