Well, what can I say?? Thanks for all your replies.
Waratah and candiceMarie, Thanks but I wish you'd have posted earlier. I told my daughter this morning and really wished I hadn't. I come from a WW background and have always told her about good nutrition. We don't eat processed foods, drink fizzy poison (as we call it) or go to Mc d's, she's quite happy with that as she understands the reason.
[I must add, I'm not fat because I eat too much processed food. I'm fat because I eat too much good home cooking and don't do much exercise]
So I told her and the first thing she said is 'That's a stupid thing to do'. Oh dear, she then went on to give me a lecture on how breakfast is the most important meal of the day, how I should have a healthy balanced diet and I need my meals to give me energy through out the day. I tried to reassure her the best that I could and explained that it's not to be done until adulthood when the body has stopped growing, as children do need to eat breakfast and a balanced diet for growth. I told her I have too much stored energy and it's there to be use when the body needs it. After all that's how our bodies are designed to work. I told her I would eat fruit and veg for breakfast and lunch and have an evening meal, so it sort of like cutting down on 2 days a week. I think she understands but I do wish I'd have kept it to myself. I said I would give it a few months and see how it is and in the meantime if I don't think it's benefiting me I will stop.
Now I have to make sure I can stick to this and it works for me. I'd hate to fail and make it look like just another fad. That could do more damage than telling her in the first place. Maybe there is a silver lining, telling my daughter has made me even more determined to get healthy. With a healthy diet, lots more exercise and cutting back my food intake. I just hope she doesn't worry about me.
