S10 EP8: Would You Tell Your 5 Year Old To Diet?

Moms, do you criticize your body in front of your kids, then tell
them to love themselves? If you say one thing but do another,
they aren’t fooled. And the little ones are always watching you.
We are not here to shame you. We are here to remind you of how
important you are!... now, and for the next generation of women.
Do you want your daughter to have a better relationship with her
body, with food, and with exercise than you had growing up? It
starts now, with you. 


Today we are talking about a study on 5 year old girls and their
moms. The purpose of the study was to look at predictors and
sources of influence on these girls and their ideas about
dieting. Want to know what percentage of 5 year old girls think
that dieting means you can’t eat, AT ALL? Want to know how many
moms were on a diet at the time of the study? Please listen to
today’s episode. Your daughters are counting on you.
