An excellent point Catherine re: boys, image and media. Thanks for raising it.

Sounds like a great topic for a book – a great book to read as I’m sure it will raise lots of questions.
And I will add that it is a very important message for girls (and there are health concerns involved) but I think there is a message for boys to learn too – about the power of the media to manipulate, and also about real women vs. media images of women.

Thankyou for that incredibly kind mention Cath – much appreciated. Thanks also for the post re: this book which I have never heard of. It sounds so great so I’m on a mission to get a copy.

@Rizoleey – feeding your kids is much more important than being slim. Don’t diet too hard when Feb arrives. Aim for healthy, not skinny

I have not read that one, but I do feel like Rosie the cow. I had to keep my food up to beable to feed my babies, if I stopped the milk did too. Now for February to come so that the diets begin, January is a waste of time for us, to busy being social.
