Jonathan Ross' daughter Honey SLAMS parents for offering her diets as a child...
...Jonathon Ross’ daughter, Honey...has spoken on Loose Women about the impact diet culture has on children...she said that as a teenager, her parents saw her as coming home from school and her suffering miserably and hating her body and hating herself...which isn’t an uncommon conversation that parents can have with their children...her mum and dad tried to give her suggestions on losing weight, which was diets...Honey feels that diets are ‘insane and toxic’ and don’t work...and her advice to parents now is ‘not to shame your children’ in the way that she felt ...anyways, those are all her words and this link has a vid to what she said...
...thoughts..?... https://uk.style.yahoo.com/jonathan-...071200629.html |
They would have been worse parents if she came to them with this same problem and they just told her to love herself. I think if I was a parent in that situation, I would have done the same. Offer her the chance to change the things she doesn't like about herself.

Yeah I think I agree with Slim here, it's a parents job to make sure their kids are healthy and being over weight isn't. People are tip toeing around hurt feelings and no one can take facts anymore

...maybe that’s it as well, maybe it’s the attachment to ‘diet’ that she felt to be toxic...

Actually (and I know some people are just more prone to weight gain) but I wonder in people who use food as an emotional crutch or coping mechanism, does that stem from childhood, on whether when they were upset as a child the parents used sweets or treats to "make them feel better"? From a personal point of view my parents didn't ever do that and now food is the last thing I look for if I'm upset or feeling low

...we had a school cook...well quite a few years ago...but she was a nightmare for giving children extra pudding treats to ‘cheer them up’ if she felt they were a bit glum...

Why is this woman starting to make a living out of "SLAMMING" her parents whenever they breathe?
Time to get a job. |
Depends if they were saying "lets improve our diets and lifestyle" or "you should go on a diet".
Diets are utter nonsense, the weight lost "on a diet" is almost always put back on later. So if they were encouraging her to "diet" that's not the best idea. If they were encouraging her to eat more healthily and take up physical activities that's another matter; although I would say the best way to do this is to just do it, as a family, rather than "telling" one family member they should do it. |
