[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For example, put you on diets, made comments about good or bad foods, commented negatively on your body.... How did that affect your relationship with food? [/quote]

No but we weren't overweight. We were pretty active, didn't snack on junk food, rarely ate juice, drank a lot of white milk and ate well.  All summer we were in our swimsuits, had a bout 6 of them - was a lifeguard or out at the pool or lake house.

Today I don't snack much either, don't like much sweets (except dark chocolate!) and gag on must overly sweet desserts. Zero cavities as well. Same size as 2001, post 2 kids. Need to exercise to get cardio health back.

As a parent, I don't think it's right to comment on body of your child.  Absolutely alright to impart comments on healthy foods and junk foods.  As for diets, I just wouldn't have nor serve to much do-nothing calories (juice, sweets, processed snacks) and stress health eating of a rainbow of foods. I would never call this a diet. I'd call it a lifestyle and good eating habits.  If my child was obese, I'd work on being more active and eating wholesome foods.  If there was a different issue - thyroid, depression, anxiety - I would take the child to a specialist. [/quote]
