be an emotional eater from my mother. Food was my mother's comfort in depression, and my father's passion is a busy hectic life. I am grateful that I learned how to cook and learned my father's passion for food....I am also grateful for the disordered eating I got from my Mom. It has taught me to be more cognicent of what I put into my mouth, and challenged me to face my emotions. I believe being an overweight parent definately can teach your kids bad eating habits. I do however know I was loved profoundly...and as an adult we all have the power to change our lives. Blessidly, Ive been able to teach my parents a thing or two about changing their eating habits, and we are doing it together!:) I hope that I can learn to maintain a healthy relatonship with food when I have kids of my own. I know that especially little girls, they learn to eat by what they are seeing in their parents, so I want to teach my kids a respectful love of food and their bodies. My parents always yo-yo dieted when I was young, gaining and losing 75-100 lbs at a time. I had a very healthy relationship with food until I started college. Throughout college and the few years afterwards I became somewhat of a yo-yo dieter myself, gaining and losing 25 lbs at a time. I developed a very unhealthy relationship with food, and definitely became a disordered eater. A
