[quote=Anonymous]I am the PP whose mom did the same thing. One thing I thought about: consider talking with your daughter about the science around willpower research (and read some of it yourself). Humans are hard-wired to eat junk and it's not a failure of character that she eats what is put in front of her. This is why it needs to be out of the house. If it is in the house, she *will* eat it, particularly if she already has a genetic predisposition to it. It took years for me to get over self-hating myself for eating the junk food my mom put in front of me. Reading all the studies about how our brains work was therapeutic for me, but I wish I had forgiven myself years ago. I maintain a healthy weight and activity level now, but it is really hard work and my teen weight issues permanently changed my body. I also struggled hugely with pregnancy weight and it took me years to lose what I gained (I did lose it eventually, but it was very hard).[/quote]
