I got a question I wanna see what you guys think. Some of you are parents, and may have some good suggestions for me.
I have two kids, two girls. My littlest was recently called 'fat' by a friend's little boy, and now she is 'mommy, am I a muffin top?' and 'mommy, do I need to go on a diet?' (Btw, the boy that made the comment is a chunky little fucker himself.)
It is killing me, for one thing is she is only 7. For another thing, I am ashamed to admit I don't always talk about myself in the most flattering way (actually, I call myself fat and muffin top, and I have self esteem issues pretty bad myself).
Besides setting a good example, and not talking shit about myself (no matter how true it may be) what else can I do about her way-to-early body image issue? Have any of you had to deal with this, and what did you do?
