Fat Thighs Through a Kid’s Eyes

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Kim Bongiorno at LetMeStartBySaying

Teaching our daughters (and sons) a healthy body image can be tough in today’s world.

I’ve taken a proactive approach for most of my kids’ lives, but recently I was caught off-guard.

VERY off-guard. Like, pants-off off-guard.

Would you have handled this situation the same way?

Come read me HERE on InThePowderRoom & let me know.

Loved this post – a beautiful message beautifully written. Plus, the thigh/bread metaphor was *priceless*! Sharing!

You have inspired me for when my baby girl gets around to noticing that Mommy has more in common with her teddy bear than she does. Hubbs and I are a snuggly bunch!
