I am determined to keep fashion mags away from my girls as much as possible. There is research that shows a connection between reading them and eating disorders.

Being homeschooled, only allowed two hours of TV per day (and very restricted with what we watched), not allowed to see movies much (i honestly don't remember going to see a movie as a little kid), no magazines like cosmo around the home, and no mainstream music (only christian) I didn't have the opportunity to be around any images that promote being thin, beautiful, rich, famous...etc. Plus times have just plain old changed from when we were kids. There weren't the US Weekly magazines, the vast aray of entertainment shows, the girls in the paper and being famous for just being rich and pretty. I don't have girls, but that doesn't mean my little boys couldn't fall victim to feeling pressure to look perfect. Not as many boys probably struggle with body image and weight, but it does happen. I wish I had the magic words or the wisdom to know how to handle things like this. For me it's going to be a figure it out as you go along. I was never aware of anything like this as a kid.

I have always been solid muscle and I was a teenager and I was still ashamed of my weight. I weighed 160 pounds and I was wearing a size 4. I was lean but not skinny by any means and I could bench press all my female friends, LOL. I got my dad's brawn for sure.
