[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 520881, member: 84"] UAN- easy child had me really worried until she kicked the exercise back down into normal range. She was doing her workout videos, then going to the gym for 2 hours (much of that time spent on the elliptical). That was a bit much. But when she started doing that AND doing the videos in the evening or on work days doing her really strenuous workouts before a 12 hr shift of lifting patients all day and on her feet......Well, it took me a while to get her to see she was over the top. Me and her bad knee that swelled up on her something horrid and prevented her from exercising at all for more than a week was finally enough to convince her. Now I'm trying to convince her she's eating too much protein. Protein is good for you and it builds muscle. But our family is strongly [B]prone[/B] to kidney disease and eating a very high protein diet is NOT a good idea, it causes the kidneys to work harder and it's just plain not good for them. easy child does not have issues nearly like Nichole and I, but she [B]has[/B] had issues. A really high protein diet isn't good for a "normal person", it's even worse for someone who has the genetics for kidney disease. I'm really proud of her. She's nearly lost 50 lbs now and reduced her waist size by at least 6 inches. I just want to make sure she's staying healthy while doing it, after all, that's the whole purpose to what she is doing. UAN you need to do an in depth search of pin up models pre 1960's. Men went totally gaga drool over those women, and they weren't what most people would classify as "skinny" today. They were beautiful women with meat on their bones and lovely curves to their bodies. And because I was born into the wrong era.........my kids were as exposed to those examples of feminine beauty as the modern version, perhaps more so. And every time my girls would see ads and such with the rail thin super models of today......I'd counter it with the living hades those women go through trying to live up to that standard. At least easy child doesn't believe she has to be rail thin. But if her obsession really gets triggered, it will be hard for her to turn it around because of the[B] obsession[/B], not the weight, appearance, ect. So that is what I keep an eye on. [/QUOTE]
