This weekend told me my 13 year-old daughter, that a school friend from elementary school last year in the hospital was. With 12 Years she had for a month in a hospital, because she suffers from anorexia. I know this girl, and it was always quite thin, was tall and lanky and away from far “dick” to be. At last year's summer festival the elementary school, where the former have met, Beginning to recognize, that especially the girls tried to take a step in the direction of young woman. The first make-up tests, Hair styling or extravagant fashion statements called out to the other children, look at me, I am no longer a primary school child, but so youthful cool.

But I admit, I still would not have thought remotely, so that young girls would ever develop a stomach delusion. For me it was more of an issue from 15/16 and even more ancient. Today, every third girl has been suffering from anorexia, an alarming phenomenon, I know my daughter very many girlfriends and durchzuzählen when I start here …

And I must not forget my girl. My happiness is, that they, for example, is no respecter of Klum's shows in the world, never, and not, I give the Klums this world to blame, However, the games are to slimming at any cost, like the Hunger Games, which will gain the best show. Nevertheless, it is, like the other, confronted with constant new and better nutrition concepts. Detox, veganism here, sugar Pooh, Low Carb hui, to name just some of the topics.

It is through this extreme example, we have consciously tried to talk about the slimness, and why fresh, healthy eating is important, but also how wonderful chocolate, Ice or chips are. The good thing is, that my princess and enjoys and she can not understand it, how to not want to eat. So you wrote back her friend, that although she is back home, but the food is not so easy, because it is not used to.

We as adults are far too often a negative model, by making the umpteenth diet, do not listen and maybe not take it seriously, when speaking of the perfect body. What's already perfect? And since it does not help to say, that once were the Rubens women. Today, just today and as it comes to the distance between the thighs, the flat stomach, the firm breasts and so on and so forth.

I sometimes put myself naked next to my daughter and show her, where I also not particularly like me, but that nature has decided after all in agreement with my eating habits need to do (wise of me to outsource the responsibility * grin *) up to form a tummy, to have dents in the thighs or can show hints sleeves. And I hope, that my princess loves food more, as the Slim madness.
