My friend Katie is having an interesting discussion on her Babble blog about how and when to talk to your children about food. For her, and me, and a lot of women I’ve known in my life, there’s always been a struggle with food, weight, and body image. It’s really a delicate subject (and not really limited to women, either).
My mom said she spent most of my childhood worrying about whether I was too thin (oh, the thought of that) or if I was going to gain weight and struggle like she does. Obviously, I struggle. And for me, I know it wasn’t anything she did or didn’t do. My reasons are my own, as I guess everyone is different. It is an interesting conversation about what might cause negative food relationships.
