Afternoon ;)
I need some help, i'm a binge eater and a very emotional eater, i've battled with my weight for years and years and i'm currently a size 20!
I've binged for as long as i can remember, i've got memories of being 7 or 8 and going through whole packets of biscuits at my friends houses.
Basically i don't know how to eat 'normally'
I've got a five month old daughter and i'm DESPERATE for her not to be the same!
I strongly believe that my issues come from growing up in a house where there was a lot of domestic violence and i was frightened a lot of the time, there is no way i would let that happen to my daughter i will go to the end of the earth to make sure she grows up happy and feeling safe every single day. I'm also aware not to mention dieting in front of her or talk down about my body or call myself fat and i will also be very careful to eat well in front of her.
I'm just frightened that i will mess her up because i don't know how to eat normally myself! I know she is only 5 months but she will be weaning in a couple of weeks so i want to get it right straight away!
Soooooo whats normal? I was thinking three balanced meals a day, fruit inbetween and a pudding after tea? Or is a pudding every day too much?
If so mabye a treat or two at the weekend but then what if she grows up and pigs out all weekend because it's treat time!!
Please help me what do your kids eat? x
