[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since this is a parenting site, I am perplexed/concerned by how folks justify not eating 3/7 days in front of their children, particularly their girl children.

Meal time is family time. Do these women just sit there with an empty plate and serve their kids? [/quote]

I wake up first so kids don't know whether I ate breakfast. After that, everybody's schedule is completely different so on weekdays, we just can't have a meal all together. On weekends, I don't fast and eat with them. No problem at all for us )[/quote]

:( It just sounds like you're hiding an addiction.

NP, and I completely agree about the kids thing.  The people on here doing IF to be skinny are sending very clear messages to their kids about bodies and worth--and I don't buy for a second that the kids don't realize what's going on.  It's so damaging.  I grew up with two weight-obsessed parents and struggled with those issues for a long time, while my sister has had a severe eating disorder.  So, yeah, I'll happily carry a little extra weight if it reduces the risk of my kids basing their self-worth on their size.[/quote]
