Keeping up appearances

Today, my seven-year-old told me to lose weight. Her reason? There's a family fun day coming up at her school and she is embarrassed. FML

Ouch! Children are honest like that. She doesn't mean it in a horrible way, just try it. Who knows?

You need to instill values of inner beauty in your child; FAST. it starts out like this, then it turns into her obsession over her own weight and then her only being friends with people who are socially accepted as beautiful. We need to teach our young generation to not value outer appearance. Right?! :)

given that you're from Indiana and, according to the Wikipedia, 27% of adults in Indiana are obese and 62% are overweight, your kid had a fair chance for actually getting it spot on. Just saying.

I remember saying that to my mom when I was young. but dont worry she still loves you and when shes older she will realize how silly it was to ask you that. Doesnt mean going to the gym wont hurt though ;)

I say ydi for not raising kid properly - both to respect parents and not to over-value physical looks.

You can't have any fun if you're overweight. Or be happy and enjoy life and what it could be for that matter.
