Dead on! Its something that stuck with me, I vowed to remember this when Ivy was closing in on puberty, it helps alleviate the worry. <em>The Girls Will be Girls is a wonderful,depressing and enlightening read. Depressing because of all the statistics concerning girls and body image, how young they are when things start to affect them, the pressures they are under, and I am barely into the book.The most fascinating part so far, is about how at about age 9 or 10, girls develop a "pudgy" look, which is what nature intends,with the onset of puberty just around the corner.Since girls are expected to look like glamour girls at any age these days, they start to diet, which is interfering with the body's natural weight management system and it puts it off balance, possibly for good. Who knew?</em> Hey Cori, this completely made me remember a post I wrote before! Dead on!

As my 10 year old approaches puberty, she has started packing on the pounds - not so much extra fat as extra curves. Hating how overweight I am myself but trying to positivly encourage her to be more active rather than focus on what size she is can be truly difficult. I sometimes feel I can't say or do anything, and that's just as bad when she needs some guidance and is frustrated about her hips when her friends are all still itty bitties.
