What to tell my girls?

[Leesh]

Thanks for that. My girls are both 11 (twins) and my little boy is 2 so not too worried about him at the moment as he wont understand the ins and outs of it. I am leaning towards telling them a watered down version of the truth and hoping they can understand that although they love me the way I am, I dont. I think if I talk about the health benefits rather than the change in appearance they may be more positive. They are such a pair of little angels and i know they will think I am crazy because they think i am the most pretty Mummy ever. Bless them .

Thank you all so much for your replies. I am still undecided if I am honest but it is good for me to see how everyone else has handled the situation. I think I might just go ahead and tell them but I suppose my greatest fear is that they will in some way develop an eating disorder through my actions. Like I said they are already very slim children who choose mostly healthy foods. They eat out of neccessity unlike me and I am scared that I might in some way damage them. i think they call it 'mum guilt'. Im full of it!!

Motherhood eh???

mum guilt...its hard work huh..


Good luck with what ever you decide.... x x x
