[quote=Anonymous] OP, I agree you don't have to spell it out for her. I also agree that on the other hand, it's okay to share your emotional experience of living as a fat person. However, please do listen to those posters saying that they were influenced by their mother's self esteem. I've known some fat people who seem to have great self-esteem and live comfortably in their bodies. Is it possible for you to work on your own sense of self-esteem and learn to believe in your own worth? It doesn't mean you have to love that you're fat, but you shouldn't feel embarrassed to exist in public. You have intrinsic value, and you can convey your sense of this to your child. I have a different struggle. I am struggling with depression, which can also influence my children. I'm working on myself for their sake. [/quote]
