Body shaming in first grade?

I’m honestly shocked to even be writing this. Has your daughter ever experienced body shaming as young as 7 years old?Yesterday, my daughter came home, chatting about her day like always, but then mentioned a classmate making hurtful comments about her being "too skinny" and "not looking good." We know the other girl, and while I can guess why she might have said those things, it doesn't make it any less painful.After some comforting and a talk about how everyone is different and beautiful in their own way, my daughter seemed okay. But this morning, while picking out her outfit, she suddenly burst into tears, terrified of being teased again. My heart absolutely broke.I know firsthand how comments like that can cling to you for years. It’s so hard realizing we can't shield them from everything.Have your kids faced anything like this? How did you help them heal and stay confident? I’d love to hear your advice in the comments. #RaisingStrongGirls #BodyPositivity #ParentingChallenges #SelfEsteemMatters #FamilySupport #Parenting

Why I Ditched Diets for Intuitive Eating

Letting go of the scale was the best thing I did for my health. Instead of obsessing over numbers, I started tuning into my body’s real needs. Here’s what changed everything for me: I stopped labeling foods as "good" or "bad." Now, nothing is off-limits, and cravings lost their power. I pay attention to hunger cues. If I’m hungry, I eat—no more waiting for a “cheat day.” Movement is about feeling good, not burning calories. Walks, dancing, or stretching—whatever brings joy. Self-care matters. Sleep, stress breaks, and saying no are part of my routine. I respect my body, no matter its shape. Body diversity is real, and every body deserves kindness. Intuitive eating isn’t a quick fix, but it’s made food and self-acceptance so much easier. It’s a journey, and every step counts! #IntuitiveEating #BodyPositivity #SelfCare #Health #Wellness
