This line of discussion has caught my attention. I have two daughters (they

are now ages 19 & 17). I was determined not to raise them with food issues.

I have worked really hard at not making food and weight an issue . My

theory was that if I was successful at this....I would raise children without

eating disorders. I have blamed alot of my weight and food troubles on the

way I was raised.

Interesingly enough, my oldest daughter is now showing signs that she is on

her way to obesity. She recently got married and is in college. She and her

new husband live with us. He, unfortunately, has the most unhealthy eating

habits I have ever seen....and they are rubbing off on my daughter. I am

helplessly watching as her weight keeps climbing (while mine continues to go

away!). She has gone from a healthy size 14 to a tight 18. I feel ashamed

that I am even worried about this. Honestly, her size isn't a consideration

in the way I feel about her. I have always been very close to my daughters.

Have my theories been thrown out the window? We will see. At least I have

not ruined my relationship with her by turning our home into a battle ground

over food. At the same time I worry. I feel as though I have left her

behind in this journey toward a healthier me.
