Let's watch what we're teaching our children

I read this article and almost cried. I think we all need to be careful what we're teaching our children as we are on our journey's.

Teach them that their self worth ISN'T in how they look. what size they are. etc etc. I think it IS important to teach them about obesity and the effects on their health and making healthy food choices but not that their self worth is dependent on it!

I am a guilty party that I have put a LOT of my self worth into my looks/size and at 37 years old struggle like I did as a teenager...most days.

Yes I want to be smaller than I am. Yes I struggle with my self worth. I hope we can change it for the generations to come.
