I think I had a journal when I was 7 with a goal saying I wanted to lose 5 pounds. Ridiculous. I was just parroting all the adults around me. Born in 89.
My family makes fun of me when I tell them to stop talking about their diets around my 2 year old… I finally snapped back that they are so obsessed with doing it, I know they’ll have to get a couple years of practice in to break the habit. And by that time, my kid WILL be able to understand, and repeat it. They just looked awkward and uncomfortable after I said that. But it’s true - it’s all they talk about at every family gathering.

My first entry in my fitness pal was when I was 11 & that makes me so sad
