Early Birthday

Mar 08, 2009

!! So...what's a girl to do?  Celebrate early, that's what!!! I had a most pleasant evening with my kid's and their spouses, and of course that great man that has put up with me for over 38 years!!! I know I asked the question in an earlier blog about why people think everything we do has to involve food, but there we were the six of us, having a great dinner at a great restaurant! 

I couldn't help but wonder as I looked at my daughter and son, "How has my food issues and obesity affected them throughout their lives?", as I'm sure it has. Maybe not my son so much, but certainly my daughter. My own mother has struggled with weight, as have my husband's mother and sisters. While in high school, I remember my daughter thinking that wearing a size 12 made her huge. While she's never had an eating disorder, I have been concerned in the past that she isn't getting the proper nutrition. She mentioned last night that she feels very healthy (she does look much better), but she no longer wears a size 1!!! Hello....my leg is larger than a size 1!!!! I'm sure that the family history of obesity (on both sides), has had a deep affect on her and how she deals with food and the fear of it happening to her...for that I am deeply sorry
