No I wouldn't fat shame any of my kids. Wife and I both try to teach them healthy habits - we both exercise 5 days a week and eat well rounded diets. We enjoy dessert a occasionally, too. We live a pretty active lifestyle and it really hasn't been an issue. 4 of my 5 are downright skinny. My middle child is a bit thick, but he's also just 11, about to hit his growth spurt, and loves sports.

We do talk a bit more in depth with the older kids about the importance of physical health and the difference it makes in living a happy life. Basically how physical, mental, emotional, and social health are all interconnected and they need all of them to be their best self.

Oh wow, that is rare for sure. We limited soda and junk when my son was growing up, but he def got treats here and there. Plus he played sports and was active so that helps.

Yeah we never had fast food. A babysitter took my daughter to McDonalds and she had a panic attack. She's always had healthy food and snacks but we felt it was important to have treats, too. The fact that she's skipping so many meals and living on Monsters and vape is frightening as yes she's thin, but that isn't good for her health.

The pressure for teen girls to be thin is just over the top. Almost all of them are vaping and drinking Monsters to stay thin. How is that healthy?
