What can I say to my kid?
She is worried about her weight, they were weighted in a school, and she's one of the heaviest(110 lbs, 63 inches), some girls who are higher and are about 80lbs. I can't say she's really overweight but her shoulders are wide and it's something we can do nothing about(I've been always said my shoulders are so wide because I used to swim - now I think it's not completely the truth). We try to eat a healthy food but still.
I can tell her that she has some other talants and her weight does't make her a bad person, but in a few years the children will grow and start dating... What will I tell her then? I know exactly what do you feel when nobody is interested in you. I wonder how only I managed to get a kid.
Or may be I'm wrong, may be she is worried because I'm so obsessed about the weight? Maybe it doesn't matter as much as I think. I've always wanted to be thin and small. For example, when men helped me with something(like carrying bag, etc) I always felt like I was stealing something, because I was big, too big to be helped.
