Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 I was not a good role model for my children either. My first daughter came out needing more milk than I had and ended up never satisfied. she has been in OA for many years and is now struggling some more with weight gain. My second was OK but is now gaining every year. My third is 6'2 " tall and she is at least 350. She is only 21 but she has a very rough rode ahead of her. Since I could not control my own eating, I could not effectively control theirs and I have never seen a relaxed way of getting your children under control when it comes to eating. I have read every book, tried every tactic but they know I am weak on this area. I'm fine in other things but not this. If you try to control yours or your children's eating, you will make everything worse. hence there is no solution but maybe this operation or staying in serenity forever. I could never achieve that either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Lilac The surgery for me has also helped my family, they don't want me to bake at holidays like I use too. My boys aren't over weight, but they say mom what's for dinner and if I made spaghetti they ask me are you having some, I say no I have my fish. Then they say well you need to fix us what you eat and when we want carbs we'll ask. They are older almost 21 and 22, they've watched how hard I've tried to get weight off and all the health issues I had from the weight. Then when I got all my weight off they actually took up exercising again also, and if I miss 2 days they let me know. So it's get, my husband on the other hand eats his and what I would of eaten, so I really just started cutting down on portions that I make so there's only enough. Sometimes he says don't we have enough money for enough food, I say yes but you had enough, there's more salad or fruit if your still hungry. So I'm trying to help without being harsh, hurting feelings and all but it is tough. Take care. DonnaLilka wrote: I was not a good role model for my children either.
