[quote=Anonymous]Many have said the reasons why you shouldn't say this, but I'll repeat: 1. Focusing on weight, particularly if the reason is society's perception of you, creates unhealthy complexes and reinforced stereotypes and behaviours we should collectively be trying to discourage. 2. Focusing on the positive effects of staying active and healthy, and modeling that, will get better outcomes both for physical and mental health. You'd do better to teach your daughter not to care so much about other people's perceptions of her than to teach her to worry about them. That life skill is one of the most important if you want your child to be a happy adult.[/quote]
