Quand il pleut, il pleut

...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...

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

...yeah I agree as well, they handled it in a way that many parents would have...but Honey’s perspective is that diet advise is ‘insane and toxic’ and that’s how she found it both then and now in reflection...I wonder if she discussed the Loose Women debate topic with her parents before she went in and they also knew what she would say...because it would be very hurtful to her parents if it’s something they haven’t all discussed since and that was the first time they were hearing it...

...in my own personal opinion, I think any diet is toxic just because of the word ‘diet’...which suggests depriving off and cutting out etc...it’s an eating change for a life plan that could work better for that person...and if it doesn’t...?...then it’s finding that life eating plan to ‘fit‘...I think especially when food treats are so important to young people as well..(...well older people also...)...so it’s being able to still have those, but just rearrange them a little...

As an overweight child, she still needed to burn more calories than she took in if she wanted to lose weight. There really is no way to sugarcoat it. Obviously if they were forcing fad dieting on her, then that would be wrong, but offering her exercise and salad is what a parent should be offering regardless of a childs weight.

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

She looks as though she's probably always been struggling with weight. You don't suddenly wake up at 20 and wonder where all the excess timber came from.

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...

Yeah, it's just like most things, as a child you're learning to associate and if every time you feel down, fatty or sweet food is the "cure" you're going to reach for that too when you get older

..yeah I think there are a lot of emotionally related comfort associations with smiles/happiness and food etc...and trying to ‘reprogram’ yourself to relating food to hunger and sustenance only, so not overeating beyond being full as well at a meal...?...there might be a little physical stuff involved as well because it’s a common thing for some to say....IT HAS to be ChOCoLATE as a specific craving as opposed to it being a more general ‘treat craving’...

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. |
