In this article I read about little girls, tinny baby girl only around 8, 9, and 10 worrying about their weight! I can't even describe all these conections going through my head from social life, to tv prograbs, to celebs, to home life style s, to everything everywhere! When I was a 10 year old girl I was VERY often told by my own family that I need to loose weight. When I was 14 I actually tried to control my weight by throwing up. Hey lol I loved and still love food so I couldn't starv myself. Though some days I did. I remember getting so into throwing up. It was easy. After a while I didn't even need to stick my finger down my throat. And other times even when I only ate some veggies and didn't plan to throw it up my body did it on her own. Just pushed every thing out. It didn't last long though. I thankfully don't have an addictive personality and can't stick to anything that doesn't feel good so I was safe. I stoped. But not every girl stops and thinks about what they're really doing to themselves. I was chubby and knew it. And I wanted to loose the weight. Even my doctors would tell my I could loose plenty of weight to be on the avrage for my age.
I'm only 19 and have no children to worry about. But a daughter is the one thing I pray to have one day, when I'm starting my own family. I'm still on the short side, lol that's genetics, and I'm curvy and meaty. I love love love food and wont diet even though I know I don't eat very healthy either. I believe in excersize. But the message I would send out to my one day little girl I'd use art. I'd tell her how beautiful she is. I'd explain to her what beauty really is, that a woman no matter what size or shape can always be beautiful and sexy as long as they stand up straight and believe in the idea, the confident way to walk, dress, and hold her chin up high! And this is some thing I DO believe it. A little girl shouldn't even know about celebs! Listen to the music, sure.. Watch some cool movies, who doesn't like movies? But E! and MTV and... other channals like that (okayyy so I don't really know which channals because I never watch lol YEY acb family!) I'd make sure my kids don't get near those. Not even my boys! I would use, well I've already planned these, classy paintings of beautiful women, nothing like the skinny girls you'd see on magazine covers. I want my kids to worry only about... nothing. School! Homework!
Did you finsih your homework young lady/boy? I want them to only worry about doing good in school and finish their homework fast enough so they can go out and play the rest of the day. Little kids shouldn't even be aware of the mirror!!!! Looks? What looks? Who cares about looks? Pass the ball already! I've always wanted to get my future children involved in sports too. I want to teach them that it's not about the mucles, the body shape, either for boys or girls, to be skinny, etc, but the way you proform, the way you move. Like, if my little girl wants to dance I'd tell her it's not about having the "right" kind of body, because there's NO such thing. That it's about moving like a dancer, enjoying it and feeling the passion in each and every move. I think all parents should let their kids know these things. And sure they'll come across things on tv about work out dvds, diet pills, but as a parent it's your responsability to explain to them that it's all a big *^&% ^* whatever you want to call it, however you want to describe it. I personally would tell my kids that this world is just a complicated place and it's all about understanding the right and wrongs, and the truth from the lies... so much..
