Children form eating habits early in life.
If you are setting a poor example in terms of diet, then you and your child may both lose. On the other hand, if you encourage healthy eating and you follow your own advice, you may both be in a win-win position. For convenience sake, rely heavily on take-out meals, which are likely to be high in fat. Use trips to the ice cream parlor as rewards and treats. Make frequent references to your weight, which heightens your children s own weight-consciousness and may lead to unhealthy attitudes toward food.
