[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still don’t get it. We’re all supposed to keep processed foods, unlimited pastas and breads, and juices or sodas available at all times? To not offend overweight or obese growing children or have them temper tantrum against vegetables or healthy meals? [/quote]
Literally no one is saying that.  No one.  But making a bagel a forbidden food that a kid has to sneak and forbidding a kid who likes baking from baking is not helping the kid have a healthy relationship with food.[/quote]

It sounds like nothing was forbidden and the kid would over eat a week’s supply of bagels or muffins in one or two days. 
That’s a different issue than what you’re claiming; that a controlling parent starving their kid is at fault for the kid overeating.
Now the kid is unhappy she’s fat. What do you do? [b]You help her make an exercise and eat healthy plan.[/b] [/quote]

DP. Disagree. You first find ways to keep her busy and build up her feelings of self worth. Could be exercise, could be other stuff like art. Focusing solely on diet and exercise is going to backfire if she still feels terrible about herself, or if she feels like she going to disappoint mommy if she slips and eats a cookie.[/quote]
