Not only do we need to teach our children to eat healthier, we need to really change what society dictates is "acceptable". I had the opposite problem...66lbs in sophomore year in high school. I was called every name in the book. Eating disorder? Nope...I ate the same nasty, sugary, high carb foods my overweight friends were eating. At times I actually ate more than they did. What a surprise when I hit 35! Hypoglycemia and a slower metabolism.

People see overweight and too thin as ugly. We should be seeing it as not healthy. How do we as a society shift the focus? Beats me....but being a part of this forum has definitely opened my eyes as to what is truly beautiful.
