agreed that clothes sizes and the general perception of ‘normal size’ has changed.
i have blunt conversations with my patients about their weight.
will we see the word ‘obese’ being frowned upon like some of the older medical definitions as it becomes more of an insult than diagnosis?
parents set pretty important examples for their kids: overweight? chances are you’ll have an overweight kid. always controlling and worrying about weight? chances are you’ll have a kid that develops the same issues. healthy, active parents…. ideal 🙂
telling your kid they’re beautiful ‘just the way you are’ may be true in your eyes as a parent, of course your kids are going to be beautiful to you…. but its a bit like gok wan telling the size 24 women that all they need to do is buy clothes that show off their boobs and the world is good again, ignore the weight problem and there will most likely be health problems.
