edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I live in Oregon and am a busy mom of three. I come from an obese family and made the decision that my children would be healthy. I am pretty fanatical about what and how much they eat. My oldest is 11 now and all three have noticed that I don't eat the way they do. So it's time to "put up or shut up" as they say. On top of that my oldest is a girl and I don't want to send her off to an eating disorder by pushing too hard about her weight and what she eats. I find it interesting that I am a control freak about most everything in my life, but can't control my eating habits. Anyway, I heard about this site from my sister-in-law and decided to give it a try.

    You started! That's great; it's the first step.
    I am a bit like you in that I coe from an obese family, stress that my daughter will be overweight and eating problems, and AM definetely a natural control freak.
    We really have to practice what we preach but it doesn't mean its easy.
    Hang in there and you will see the results.
