As a mother of two girls, I am hoping and praying that times are changing. I have no evidence to support that they are other than that there's a lot of women like us who don't want to pass our poor self images on to our children. We know, as Rebekah points out, that what matters is being healthy and exercising and modeling that for our children. I just hope we (collectively, our generation of women) pull it off and influence our children positively. It's such a challenge though, it really is. Sigh. What an awesome post.

I don;t have teh same situations, but I have also battled with weight and issues around it in my life. It is always heart warming to know there are others and there is a safe place to talk about it. I am sorry that I have been MIA still. I have missed you, but my butt has been beat between being pg and keeping up with Abbie and work. I am trying to get back to my normal friends I miss so much!

You're so supportive and nonjudgemental and understanding. I second the above: every time I read your site, I love you more. Also-- J's son got sick, and so we had to cancel. . . bummer :( Lisa, you’re the best. You’re so supportive and nonjudgemental and understanding.

Also– J’s son got sick, and so we had to cancel. . . bummer :(

In fact, this past spring, when I attempted a vegan diet (only given up for the duration of my pregnancy since I didn't want to jeopardize the baby with my ineptitude for calculating protein requirements on such a new-to-me diet) I experienced some crazy things, not the least of which was a bit of hostility on the part of my family because I was bucking the norm, which tested boundaries of a family surrounded by comfort foods for nearly every occasion. Hopping over to read Flutter's post, and to possibly blogroll her. Since I have had bulimic urges in the past (thankfully had the willpower to refrain) I get this on so many levels.

I feel the same way as you, "being a certain size is my way of feeling disciplined and worthwhile." The older I get though, the more I just want to be healthy for my kids. They see me eat right and exercise... they even try to join me in my exercise some days.
