Children don’t need diets

“Many girls as young as five are aware of dieting and weight-loss.”  

“Anorexia nervosa has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric illness — it is estimated that 10 percent of individuals with anorexia nervosa will die within 10 years of the onset of the disorder.” - NEDIC      

                 *****************************

Let’s teach our young people to love their bodies. Let’s teach them that nourishing their bodies and moving their bodies comes from a place of love and worthiness. Let’s not teach them the power of shame and deprivation and scare them from not meeting the impossible societal goals that their set point weight isn’t meant to achieve. Let’s teach our children by example.
