Vogue writer puts 7-year-old on diet Britni Danielle

it does bring up interesting debate. I think the removing TV and electronic devices is a superb idea. i'd be battling my partner more than my kids I think....

But those people who say their parents behaviour / attitude affected them. So did mine, but i can't use that as an excuse. I was forced to finish everything on my plate, because there are children starving in Africa, and it's terrible to waste.

And I still struggle to stop when i'm full. There was plenty of food in my house (healthy and unhealthy). I always pigged out on the junk, on the other hand, my sister went vego and ate all the vegies and fruit (leaving more junk for me to binge on and more meat left over for me to eat seconds).

So I can't blame my parents on my attitude to food, because my sister had the same as I did in the way of attitude and availability of food and sports, and she is the polar opposite to me, tiny, a dancer, very controlled with what she eats. me, it's a daily battle to not pig out, and while i do enjoy exercise, if i didn't, i'd be double the size i am. How we dealth with food and weight and fitness is all about our personalities...
