Ugh...the dreaded "Battle of the Bulge". One day, in kindergarten, my now 8 year old came home and asked "how 'much' calories are in this mama" and I nearly died. I'm not a dieter. I've never been a dieter. Would you believe we don't even own a scale? It's true! I try to eat healthy (and by "healthy" I mean only 4 handfuls of chips rather than the whole bag) but, that comment, from my sweet little girl, made me realize just how much our kids pick up from us. Apparently, one of the mom's of my daughter's friends was dieting, counting calories, and her daughter picked up on it. However, the last thing I want my daughters to do, is to worry about their weight. I want them to be confident. I want them to feel great about their bodies and how they look! Once upon a time, I gave myself credit. Credit for not dieting...but, if I take a long hard look at myself and the words I use around my daughters...I'm not doing them any fav...
