[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 127622, member: 3388"] Linda, It is so sad that society places so much emphasis on being thin. When easy child was younger, I didn't want to buy her Barbie dolls. She begged for them and I caved in. The other day easy child and I were shopping in the toy section of Target. She saw the anorexic looking dolls and thought it was absolutely disgraceful that this is the message society is sending to young girls. I was extremely proud of her!!! At home, I NEVER talk about dieting. I try to teach my children the importance of a healthy lifestyle. I try to teach them that being physically fit and eating healthy is one of the best ways they can take care of themselves. I try to provide balanced meals and set a good example for them. It makes me so sad to read what kt wrote. There are lots of people who are unable to exercise and who are unable to lose weight for many, many reasons. It is horrible that these people are made to feel, as kt put it, "like they are at the bottom of the food chain." At the same time, I'm very proud of your daughter - I totally agree with her - Those that ridicule others are lacking self-esteem, or as kt put it, "feel like cr$p on the inside." easy child and I both love the Dove soap commercials and advertisements. Way To Go DOVE!!! It would be wonderful if more companies followed their lead... I hope kt is truly able to see past a dress size, realize she is a beautiful person, worthy of self-love, and not end up with an eating disorder. WFEN [/QUOTE]
