I read this article some time ago and promptly left it in my Favourites. I re-read it again today and decided I needed to put it into Blog de la Bouffe.
It’s reassuring to know that I am not the only parent battling with a beautiful and ever changing/growing/maturing daughter. It is easy to become defeatist about the whole thing; Are we just fighting a losing battle? But the few pointers at the end, I thought, were really practical and simple.
So, now we only refer to our bodies in a positive way. (It is hard to do and many a-time I have had to ’shush’ well meaning auntys and uncles!) We talk not about ‘fat’ and ‘thin’ people but whether they look healthy or not. We have long and meaningful conversations about nutrition. We have incorporated more physical activity into our lives.
So, watch this wasteline!

It’s a shame you don’t continue to post on your blog. A food blogger myself, I think it is smart to talk about the social aspect of food and everything that surrounds it and our obsession with it. I love food, love to cook, and, yes, I am obsessed with it. Is it just me… or am I playing a part of a bigger game, a bigger plan.
Hi mushuan
you’re right, I really do need to do some more blogging! And now I am back on ADSL, I’ll be off.
Thanks for your comment and encouragement….watch this space!
