If your mom makes a face whenever you ask for a second helping or regularly nags you about the extra weight you have put on or wonders why you don’t do more sports — well, then you don’t need to be a genius to realize one simple thing — you are not only what you eat — you are what your parents eat. Recent research by Harvard University showed that frequent dieting by mothers often lead to frequent dieting by their teenage daughters. The researchers also pointed out that girls whose mothers have weight concerns are more likely to diet and be thinner than their peers. It is easy to suggest that although a mother-daughter relationship has been analyzed more often, teenage boys are undergoing the same kind of pressure to be slender, fit and strong. Kathy is a healthy and good looking sixteen year old girl. She is smart and ambitious, but she doesn’t feel sure of herself because she thinks, she is overweight. Sometimes she stops eating entirely — following the trend set by her mum and dad, who constantly diet. Her dad does the Atkins diet and her mum doesn’t really have meals — she only picks at food thought the day. She also taped a picture of a supermodel on the fridge to remind herself that she shouldn’t open it too often. They don’t say anything nasty to their daughter, but their hints work the same way. «Are you sure you want to eat this?» «This dress would look so much better on you if you lost a couple of kilos.» «Look at his beautiful woman! She is so slim!», Kathy would hear every now and then. It makes her sad and frustrated. What should a teenager in her situation do? The best policy is to be direct. If your parents make negative comments about your body, let them know the moment they said that. If you wait, they may simply forget they said it or they may feel that everything they say is wrong. It is also worth remembering that your parents really worry about you and don’t want to upset you. They may not understand that it’s normal for teenagers to gain a bit of extra weight. And your parents can think that in fact they are helping you — newspapers and magazines are constantly warning parents that the country’s obesity problem is escalating and they need to act by watching what their kids put in their mouths. However they rarely mention that putting their children under too much pressure to compete with supermodels can lead to even worse problems. It can be really hard to stand up for yourself, but try. Take the responsibility and decide what’s good for you.
