I've just spent a weekend away with lots of other women and I have come away feeling a bit sad about how much of the conversations were about loosing weight, dieting, weight watchers, calorie counting, fasting, loosing weight for weddings, loosing weight for holidays and just generally being unhappy with their weight and appearance. All these women have had children and are in their late 30s or 40s. Am I being unreasonable to find this whole obsession with weight depressing? I have a 5 year old daughter and feel so strongly that I don't want this for her. I make a conscious effort to not make comments or anything relating to food intake and weight in front of her.
