We all do a five minute ab workout as part of our morning routine (in addition to other training after school). We work hard to maintain our six packs (eight packs are difficult to obtain for most women), and we do so as a family. No soft bellies around here.

This quickly spiraled into an eating disorder and the need for intensive outpatient therapy for 4 months to overcome anorexia. I don't think that OP is crazy to worry about her child feeling this way. My DD was not obsessed with social media and prior to this incidence always seemed to have body positivity and confidence. It was a horrible year to go through watching her suffer like that. OP I am not saying that your DD will turn into this - but you are smart to encourage her to make good choices in eating and being positive about her body. Jut keep an eye on her and hoepfully it is just a phase that will pass.

Anonymous wrote:My dd12 is slim with long legs, dare I say absolutely stunning. Somehow she’s gotten it into her head that to wear the crop tops that are so in fashion, that she needs to have a perfectly flat tummy. I have always told her that it’s just how girls bodies are (the vast minority have no fat on their stomachs) and that crunches are awesome but will not target fat loss on the stomach. She’s getting a little obsessed and I’m worried. As I said, she’s genuinely gorgeous, so I’m sure this is a manifestation of some insecurity that she’s pinning on one of the only imperfections she has. I am supportive of her exercising but I can’t get on board with her measuring her waist and constantly asking me if it’s “better”. How have the rest of you handled this?
