I'm probably a little hypersensitive about the subject. I have a close relative who is anorexic / bulimic. I know these seeds were planted when she was a kid. It didn't show up till she was in her 30's. But as I learn more about her childhood, it's obvious to me where the root of the problem is. This girl was constantly compared to one of her aunts, a rather large woman. I'm sure this got into her brain, and she always felt bad about herself. She was 5'9', and weighed 145 pounds, and thought she was a cow, when she was a teenager.
As an adult, she almost died because of this disease.
I will focus on my health. There are some things I just can't eat because I do have high cholesteral. I guess it's probably a good thing for kids to learn that we can't always have what we want. And I do try to keep lots of healthy choices around for them, and for me. But they can also have Bunny Tracks ice cream, which is completely off limits for me!
Now, if I could just find a treat that I can have, that they won't eat as well, I'll be doing great. They all love those Skinny Cows. I think someone said , to keep their kids out of them,they hid them in an empty frozen vegetable box? lol -- sounds like a great idea!
