Dear Care and Feeding: I've told my mother that she is not to discuss weight with my daughter—ever.
As a taller and rather muscular woman, I have always struggled with the number that appears on the scale when I’m weighed because of how mismatched it is with my appearance. Right now at 34 years old and after two kids, I generally wear size 6 pants and medium shirts, and I look slim but muscular. I weigh 200 pounds, which puts me into the “obese” category by BMI. I’ve mostly made peace with it. I don’t weigh myself at home, and I focus on how fit I am.
Yes, weight is truly just a number.You don’t say how old your daughters are, but if your girls are older, I would talk to them about the dangers of social media in terms of promoting a certain body image or weight as being beautiful or healthy. I can’t count the number of young girls in my 11-year-old daughter’s middle school who struggle with feelings of worthlessness or depression due to being unable to live up to the unhealthy standards shown on Instagram and TikTok.
