[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are very open with our DS that he will get fat if he eats too much fatty processed food. In our household fat is neither healthy nor attractive. And we use the word fat, not metabolically challenged or curvy. He's 7 1/2 and has never said anything to any child about their weight. He knows fat is not good and he knows that hurting people's feelings isn't good either.[/quote] So let's say that as a teen or young adult, a child raised like this finds himself with an under active thyroid or an autoimmune condition that requires prednisone...now that skinny kid who has been taught his whole life that skinny is the only option and fat is gross an unacceptable becomes either anorexic or suicidal because he is completely disgusted with himself.
