A teenage girl has to do 200 sit ups a day and so many press ups to! Is not even allowed birthday cake on her birthday and If she wants a packet of crisps she has to do 20sit ups first in her mums words "she has to earn it" her mum also makes her weigh herself 3 times a day before and after breakfast and after school and checks the scales to make sure she isn't lying!!!!! Then a mother of a much younger child also making her do sit ups and push ups (she looks about 6-7) surely this is promoting an unhealthy obsession with weight and body image? The second mum (with younger child) says that you need to make a good impression and you need to have a good body as it helps????? Actually disgusted!!! My dd earns treats by finishing all her dinner or doing something she hates has todo (I.e blood test or injection)

That isn't normal or healthy by any stretch of the imagination.

Encouraging your children to be healthy and active is one thing,that is something else entirely.

I'm shocked at the unrealistic expectations of the 13yr old wanting to lose 2st, the 48yr old mother wanting to get back to a size 6, etc.

The bullying, controlling mother is just a loon. To sit there smirking that she doesn't have fat kids when she is screwing those poor children up by her behaviour. As for she relies on her diet pills...

Timid viper I agree!! She shud be doing what her kids do!! If I was her kid I in e saying I don't want a fat parent if you dont want a fat child!!
