Say what?????

Most of my life I've been skinny. At times I've had to work super hard to get there. Like after having each of my kids. I don't know why but even eating healthy I still tend to gain a lot of weight. Well now I'm once again trying to lose my baby weight. I have 2 beautiful daughters that I am trying to show that eating right and being fit is the way to go. My youngest is very petite. My oldest has more of a medium frame so I've drummed into their heads that everyone is different and there is no wrong body type as long as your healthy. Everyone has a different size frame.

Well my oldest started marching band this summer. It is a lot of work and requires a lot of strength. Her band teacher has them doing push ups, planks and so forth. She wants to be stronger and more fit to make doing marching band easier. They have to hold their instruments up for a very long time. So she has started working out with me. She will do my Bob Harper Inside Out dvds or the Jillian Micheal's using no weights. Or run with me. She has lost no weight but has become stronger and more fit. She isn't dieting or watching her calories.

I share custody with the girls Dad. I get them every other week. So she took one of my super easy dvds and has started walking when she isn't with me. Her Dad told her yesterday to make sure that I didn't make her become Anorexic like I had been.

WHAT???????????? I'm 5ft 2, even I can take my hand and wrap my pinky and thumb around my wrist.I lost weight from both girls just by running, weight lifting and eating healthy. You couldn't see my bones. Why would you say something like that to a 13 year old?

Am I doing something wrong in letting her work out with me? Like I said she's lost no weight but she's so proud of herself because her clothes fit her better and she feels confident and strong. We don't eat out a lot here. Most of the dinners I make are healthy. We occasionally treat ourselves to a pizza or I will make cheeseburgers here but I couldn't tell you the last time I had McDonald's. They eat out constantly when with their Dad. Their step mom doesn't like to cook at all and definitely doesn't care about what goes into her kids. So they eat a lot of junk. The girls don't. They just haven't been raised that way. I'm not a fanatic about it they do get Pop Tarts sometimes or other little goodies. But they see it as a treat something you have sometimes but not every day. I'm proud that they will eat fruit as a snack instead of chips or drink chocolate milk instead of soda.

So am I hurting them by all of this? Should I stop letting her work out with me or all of us not go on 4 mile walks? I want them to be healthy not give them a complex.
