I don't worry about my DDs weight because they're naturally tall and slim.

However, that doesn't mean they'll never be overweight. I used to be slim but stacked on weight in my early thirties and then lost it in my late thirties.

DD1 especially is very active so even if I fed her lots of crap, I doubt she'd be overweight.

So from a weight point of view, I could be a lot more relaxed about her diet but I do make sure that she eats lots of healthy stuff and I also make sure she knows that treats (I hate that word as it sends the wrong message but still ...) are things that you only have sometimes. I never talk about food in terms of making you fat, infact I don't think she would even understand the word fat as she's never heard me say it, but I do talk about food that makes you strong/run fast (a high priority for DD1). Today, for instance, she asked me if she could have a packet of Tiny Teddies in her kinder lunchbox because another kid had one. I said absolutely not. I knew who she was talking about so asked her if the kid that had them was a fast runner. She said no.

I especially like asking her whether she would like toast or Breakfast of Champions (Weetbix) for breakfast. Surprise, she normally chooses the latter.
