What Are We Teaching Our Daughters?

I was reading a great article in Self Magazine last night while cuddled up in bed.  One of my favorite things to do at night.  No television, Mac, or Iphone.  Just something good to read.  The article titled, "Your Mother, Your Weight" talks about "thanking your mom, in part for your body and your attitude toward it."  I absolutely agree with that! 
When I think about being a young, chunky little girl, the one thing I never heard my mom do - comment about it!  I was, to say the least, the youngest of three but never the smallest.  My mom never fussed over our weight or how we ate.  Realizing back then, we lived in the country and most of our meat came from hunting trips from Dad.  We had a huge garden which I remember being hoed on a regular basis (yes, we had to pull weeds to help.)  So trips out to eat and fast food were not a regular! 
I don't ever remember Mom standing in front of the mirror fussing over her weight.  Saying negative things about the way she looked or how her clothes fit her.  If she was thinking it, she NEVER said it.  I believe that has shaped all three of her girls in a way she has never thought about.  Raising a daughter myself, I was always very careful not to do the same.  Times have changed and society has placed such pressure on the girls today.  I never wanted my daughter to hear, or see me, put myself down about my body.  I don't believe in "dieting" but I do believe in living a well balanced, healthy life.  Now, as a young adult, my daughter talks to me about fitness and eating.  We joke about muffing tops and poke at ourselves at times.  But I am so happy to know she does it now out of her own desire - not because she was raised being criticized or compared. 
I guess what I want us all to ask ourselves is this - "What are we saying about ourselves in front of young, impressionable daughters/girls?"  We are raising them up in our likeness so how do you want them to view themselves?  Just a thought to ponder.
