[quote=Anonymous]I agree with others the general advice is you should never, ever talk about weight loss in front of your kids. Or adjusting your food or restricting. It is a recipe for issues. All isn’t lost op. You need to have an honest conversation with him that you made a mistake, dieting is not something to strive for and that you are going to be focusing on feeling strong and healthy in your body, not on restricting what you eat because that can have a host of problems and he needs to know that. And do not teach him about calories and logging in your app, no. I know someone mentioned this but please, no. This is not a good lesson. Teach him how to live a full life with foods that fuel his body and make him feel good, how to move his body in ways that make him feel strong. This is a much better path to health than just thinking it’s all about cutting calories. [/quote]
