F-word

In my house, we are not allowed to call people fat. I hate the word. Mainly, I hate how terrible it makes people feel. Some people say they’re happy being overweight, and I believe them. But I still think it’s a rude word to use.

I do not talk to my kids about being overweight. We ignore the issue and are learning to make “healthy choices” as a family. We talk about which foods make us feel full and which ones are healthy for our bodies. Simple as that.

I am not focused on anyone in my household eventually becoming skinny. However, I want all of us to be strong, healthy, and Fit. Now that’s an F-word I like!
