Are you worried about your cholesterol?

[LogGrad98]

Worried about body issues with my thin oldest daughter to be honest. Starting to get a little worried to be honest. We all have are different struggles. Food simply is not a problem for me even though I really enjoy cooking.

I struggle with other vices.

Man, that's tough stuff. Best wishes in your's and your daughter's direction.

I think body issues is part and parcel of being a teenage girl for the most part, unfortunately. My 18 year old daughter struggles with weight issues the other way, but so far it hasn't had too strong of an effect on her self-esteem. It helps that she is very outgoing, very smart, and very cute regardless of her weight, so she has had no shortage of boyfriends over the years. She is starting to be more concerned about it since she started college and it seems every single girl on the campus at UNR is a thin super-model or athletic-type, so she feels very self-conscious. I can confirm that it seems that is all I see on campus there when I shuttle her back and forth for classes. I don't think I have seen more than a handful of heavy coeds there, that campus is definitely skewed toward fit and thin.

So she started weight watchers with her mother, but she just hates eating vegetables and love panda express way too much.

It is tough either way, but society sure does seem to push women toward an unrealistic ideal, and the vitriol that comes their way is ridiculous at times.
