I think the answer is for mothers to accept their daughter's weight and food choices.  Emphasize other qualities in your child, such as her character and interests.  If you find this is difficult to do, therapy which explores the negative messages you were given about your own body can help break the cycle and help you feel better about yourself now.  Great question, please feel to post other questions here.

Support Group

Depending on the level of interest, the group may start up again in July.  Please let us know your preferences for days and times.  In the meantime, here are some other groups that are still going:

Even though our eating disorders support group is currently on a break, we encourage our community to continue to use this blog to ask questions or make suggestions.  If we get enough requests to start a particular kind of support group, we will try to make it happen!
