The Kids At School Make My Daughter Go On Diets

By vejonis August 16, 2020 13 answers Last updated August 16, 2020

I want to ask what is the fashion among teenagers to keep diets constantly or to be on diets to gain muscle mass or plates on the abdomen, especially for girls. My daughter eats normally and whatever she wants and has always been of normal weight, but lately her classmates have a lot of influence on her. She is 16 years old. and she tells me that she's constantly being hinted at not counting her calories, that she's eating ice cream, for example, that she's not exercising ... they're constantly pushing her to lose weight and building muscle or something. I wonder how to explain to her that this is not normal, that there are more valuable things in life than the appearance that her classmates impose. That by keeping diets at this age and various regimes as she grows up and becomes 23-24 years old. there will be consequences, most of her classmates have no bust because of the regimes, as long as she has it and I don't want to change my good figure, but I'm afraid she won't start doing it behind my back. She constantly tells me how her classmates comment on everyone around them, who was fat, who with slingshots, who had to lose weight ... she even showed me various pictures of completely normal girls who they intended to make lose weight. Please give me advice what to do .. am I wrong ... :(

   Street fitness has been in vogue lately and is a terribly big wave. I have an observation at this age and the good thing in this case is that you are not looking for a body like an anorexic model, but you are chasing a very good sports body, which is achieved without much deprivation and with quality food.

   Hello! This is one of the fashions among teenagers who want to lose weight, to undress in short, to please the boys, but they do not realize that it is very dangerous for their age, or rather to be like a model or Hollywood star. , which is not of normal weight, teenagers find it "sexy" is not bad of course to have a tight body, but this is not achieved with diets, but with a lot of exercise. But I think that at their age you should rely on the lessons, explain to your daughter that it is not the body that makes a person, it will not bring her the profession, etc. If she thinks she needs to lose weight, take her to a nutritionist. to hear the opinion of a specialist can help.

   On the one hand, it is very important for the child to play sports and be careful about what he consumes. Sport is very important to be present in the upbringing of a person. Not to mention that Bulgarian society is obese if you look around to see a lot of obese or obese children. Of course, if your daughter is normal, you do not need to exercise to lose weight, but for health, to maintain tone. There is nothing wrong with reading the packaging of the things he consumes, avoiding certain foods. Sport helps not only for health and for a better figure. It makes a person mentally more resilient, emotionally balanced. I think you can explain to her that there is no need to lose weight and be influenced by other people's lifestyle, after all we are all personalities in this society and if she wants to play sports she does it not to lose weight, but to have it as habit.

   Yes, you, the author, were wrong to leave an empty niche in your daughter's upbringing, those classmates found her and sneaked in there. Diet and sports are also upbringing. Why do 16-year-old girls with normal figures count their calories? Because they do not know what is healthy, they are not taught by their parents, they fill the ignorance with information from dolls with mental disorders on the Internet who write to children, do not eat ice cream, eat only whole grains, etc. If you ask these "dolls "They would never allow children to bite French fries, they would tell them that salmon is the only healthy fish, even though all fish contain omega 3 fatty acids, and they would fill their heads with all sorts of nonsense read in a magazine. What to do. Sit down and take the time to talk to your daughter. Explain to her everything that interests her, talk to her about the content of ice cream, so this is cream / dairy product / there is nothing wrong with eating an ice cream. Explain to her that the human body only wants what it needs, you overeat what contains the element your body needs. We just have to be careful with the quantities. He explained that the human stomach was as big as a can of Coca-Cola and had to be filled three or four times a day to have enough vital energy. He explained to her about sports that it is not normal for a lady to have described muscles, and that Bulgarian women have lived without fitness for 1300 years / from 15 years ago / and were not 300 kilos, if necessary, and show a wedding photo of her grandmother and her. tell the truth that her grandmother never went to the gym. Explain to her that the only thing she needs to reduce the number of is not the smiling moments in life.

   No matter how good it looks, it can always get better. If he has a few extra pounds, he can lose them, and if he can't gain a little muscle mass. Eating junk foods such as ice cream, for example, is certainly not helpful as I believe you will agree with me. If I have a daughter, whether she is full or not, I will do my best to keep her away from such foods.

   I don't see anything wrong with encouraging her to play sports, good shape will only benefit her. it is also not bad to limit harmful foods without depriving them, because there is clearly no need to lose weight. explain to her that not everyone needs to count their bites and calories, it is good to follow some rules without going to extremes. find suitable literature on the subject.

   I think you should offer her to enroll her in some sport such as fitness, aerobics, iota, dancing, etc. I think this will make her feel more in step with her classmates and will also increase her tone. Definitely however, you have to get the ideas of diets out of her head - firstly, she is at an age when her body is still developing and needs food, and secondly, because following a diet with a normal figure leads to ugly weakness. Of course, it's not bad to eat an ice cream or a pizza - it's true that it's not the healthiest food, but as long as it's not overdone, I don't see anything wrong - the other is an obsession. And here I think your fears come. The fact is that teenagers at this age go to extremes and that's pretty scary. They build a stereotype and anyone who doesn't fit is an outsider or a jerk. They have a habit, if they are fuller to follow diets not only until they lose weight, but they have no measure and continue and become anorexic. It is better not to enter the field of diets with a normal weight, because once it starts it is not sure how far it will go. Success! Ana

   №5 First, ice cream is not "junk food". Second, the smile and the feeling of pleasure heal, an ice cream a day accumulates good childhood memories in a 16-year-old child, so ice cream will help the child rather than harm him, even if he is overweight, although this is not about such a child. A woman over 25 but a child can be deprived of ice cream? A 16-year-old is still growing, building his organs and needs energetic food.

   Just rejoice that it's fashionable now to have a tight body, not to hang out in your uncle's garage. Older people are wrong (I'm talking about the comments) boys want muscles, girls want a tight belly and ass, they don't want an anorexic body or muscle mass. For boys it is much more striking, a young girl just needs to be explained that they do not need diets, but proper nutrition and do not need gyms, but just long walks, running and running. Explain to your daughter that she should not have complexes in her body, just in case, and tell her exactly how to train and lose weight if she eventually decides to do so (for herself, not for the comments of others). In 4 words - show her the golden mean :). Far from obsession, far from laziness, that's what she needs. Zu-Za

   First author, your "daughter" is 16 years old. and she will soon be a woman, and sexually very likely already. So treat her a little more seriously and as an equal, not as a teddy bear. On the topic: As others have said, it is not bad to be careful about what you eat and exercise. Being careful about what she eats doesn't necessarily mean counting her calories - what her classmates are probably "teaching" her. It's about being careful about the quality of the food. Some of the nastiest foods are salamis and sausages, and everything made from them, including sandwiches, pizzas, etc. Fried foods are also very harmful (except they are high in calories from fat), especially if bought on the street and have been fried in oil since 3 months ago. Number 4, some french fries are not a problem, the problem is if they are bought at McDonald's. Besides, man will, will not consume too much fried, so the little we can afford "on top" comes in more. I also don't see what you have against wholemeal bread, I think it's undeniably more useful than white bread. Not that eating black bread will solve all your problems ... Well, author, fashion in general is not so bad, as long as there are no perversions and extremes. Explain these things to your daughter, tell me? where does this fashion come from and what is the purpose ?, but not necessarily to catch everything? is tossed around by classmates? Various strict diets such as only meat, or only carbohydrates, of course, are strongly contraindicated at her age, and not only. If nothing else works, say? That of the diets will? lose weight tits and see how it will stare wide :-) Kubrat what we allow "above" comes in more.

   Hello, author. I am 11 years old and I came across your story by chance. I don't want to keep diets or anything. I exercise and eat normally for my weight and height. 1. I am 36/37 and I weigh 32 kilograms. My classmates are very tall and some are even too thin or too fat. I would advise you to talk to your daughter about not listening to your classmates. They are some PRIMADONS who want everyone to be guided by their minds. Well, I hope I helped you. The anonymous man

   It's not very good for me that he doesn't play sports. For diets, it depends on what they are. But for sports, it's better to enroll her to train something.

   I know it's an old topic, I'm sorry. I want to point out a few things. 1- Your grammar and writing are lame (seriously) 2- You are all dumb. The mother is right to worry. It is not important that they interfere in her diet, it is important that the girl is SUBJECT to human opinion and allows them to be confused in life, if so now, then in her life will be very difficult ... If the author is still following this topic, I would like to share with me how the girl is at the moment, is she studying, is she not studying, is she working, what is she doing? I will be glad to hear that she has succeeded, despite the once stupid reproaches of the people.
