Nip and Tuck

The irony that this ad is made by Dove does not escape me, however it is well worth a watch for anyone with young girls.  I was never fat as a child, but my mother was constantly on diets and obsessed with her weight.  One day when I was about ten she decided I was fat too and dragged me to Weight Watchers.  The result? I ended up fat and have struggled with my weight ever since, once topping the scales at 350lbs!  My Mom made food an issue.  I was a slightly chubby tween that would have been just fine had she left me alone.  Instead she deprived me of everything good and turned me into a craving machine.  I do not want that for my girls.  They are perfectly healthy now and I plan on keeping them that way.  :)

I had a different experience of WW, my parents had a borderline unhealthy lifestyle, fries and chips, sugary cereals, that 1990's Irish thinking that salad was butterhead lettuce, a slice of tomato and coleslaw, that kind of thing. I was overweight as a child and teenager as a result. My mom went to WW (herself, she didn't bring me) when I was 15, she learned a lot about food and how to eat healthy food. As a result I trimmed down to a healthy weight for a teenage five foot nothing girl.

When left to my own devices in college I drank too much and eat stodgy food, and I put up about 2 stone. I was pretty much on a constant "diet" for about 2 years.

Ironically, as soon as I gave up dieting, I lost all the weight and have maintained the weight I am now (give or take a few lb's) since 2003.

Sorry this comment is longer than your post :-)

I'm coming around to the opinion that as long as you're healthy (normal blood pressure, cholesterol, etc, i.e. actual measurable metrics, not someone's opinion of your shape) then your weight is nobody else's business. And there is evidence that it's 75% genetic, so you could spend a lot of time and energy trying to change something that you really can't have a lot of influence over. You really can't tell how healthy someone is by looking at them, and nobody should try.
