[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think of it as — obesity takes years and years to make you sick, and it’s now extremely treatable anyway. An eating disorder can kill you in a couple of years and cannot be cured. I would rather have a fat daughter than a daughter with a terrible relationship to food and her own body. And if she decides she wants to lose weight I’ll be here to help. [/quote]

I agree with all of this except the last sentence.  I have spent a lifetime trying without permanent success to loose 10-20 pounds, so I am not sure what help I would be. Its not knowing how to do it that is the problem.

10-20 lbs is a non-issue. [/quote]

It hasn't felt like it.  15 pounds on a short small frame is chubby. Zero health issues though.  Now, had I not had a fast metabolism (binged a lot because of yoyo dieting but never gained much past my set point), had I ever been able to make myself throw up, had something been different and I had been able to starve myself (I tried), then the health consequences would have been horrible and lasting.

And when I think of all the time and energy I wasted losing and regaining (and planning to loose) those 15 pounds 3 times a year for 20 plus years, it makes me so sad.[/quote]
