[...] Love – The Secret Ingredient For Healthy Self-Esteem In my house, like the maternal figures who came before me, I mindfully love my children through the language of food.* Special occasions especially provide a wonderful opportunity for me to go all out. New baby on its way while I’m in labour? No problem, just pass me the flour and let’s make a welcoming cake! And what better way to show love to a new arrival but with the milk that flows from our breasts. [...]

@Melissa – I’m glad the post resonated for you.I found that while I was writing it I wondered if people were going to understand what I was talking about. I have actually been waiting for the “my parents loved me with food and now I’m overweight and/or have an eating disorder” comment, but nothing so far. Yay!

I had to come back and say something else, because I've been thinking of this post nonstop since I read it. I've always thought that loving people with food was a *bad* thing, but your post made me see that clearly, CLEARLY, it is not. I mean, if it were the ONLY way, yeah, it could be unhealthy, and there is that stereotype of the gramma who stuffs and stuffs her loved ones with nary a thought for their health, but I think you've opened some new doors for me here, to see that loving my family through food can be GREAT, and healthy! So, thanks! .-= Melissa´s last blog ..Family Time =-.

It would be really interesting for someone to do a study I vestigatibg a possible link between breastfeeding and body image/eating disorders. I know being a Mom has really improved my body image, as I now thinkif my body as useful, as I think how cool it is that I can feed my son from my breasts or that my love handles make a comfy seat for Baby when he’s on my hip!
