I totally agree! I'm only on the very very beginning of this, so we'll see what happens :). Thanks for the encouragement! “For me, it’s taken years of solid work, handling setbacks, and realizing if I don’t see the value in my work, then no one else will.”

For me, it's taken years of solid work, handling setbacks, and realizing if I don't see the value in my work (confidence), then no one else will. It's still something I battle but continue to improve. Sorry to hear the outcome of this wasn't what you were hoping for, but I believe you're preparing yourself well for a breakthrough. Stay at it, others know your talent level is high. Confidence is a fine line to achieve and not have it spill over into ego.

Anyway, yeah, I think we forget that being thin isn't next to godliness and it's not evidence that we're a good (or bad) parent. Our culture seems to tell us so. Thanks for the comment! Elizabeth- love it! totally agree "bottom line is that health goes far beyond BMI..." I remember Marilyn Elliot talking about how she was German and that her body type was that- German. And how we need to take into consideration where we come from as well. Bethany, oh goodness, I hope you didn’t think i was talking about you with that quote- :) because i very much wasn’t.

My mom was very careful about what she fed us... no pop tarts, Lucky Charms, etc. that a lot of the kids we knew got. Yet, I was a chubby kid (the only one of my siblings) and have dealt with weight and body image issues my entire life. I am still careful about what I eat and will be very careful about how we feed our kids as well. Even without doctor-approved thinness, I am extremely healthy (just had a yearly physical the other day to confirm it). :) I guess, for me, the bottom line is that health goes far beyond BMI--if we eat nutritiously, exercise, sleep well, and manage stress in a healthy way (and teach our kids to do the same), wellness is ours even if our bodies don't perfectly fit numbers on a chart.

I think its worth it to post what you and your husband look like now as a piece of evidence for why you aren't too worried about your kids BMI. I know some chubby adults who were chubby kids, just saying. My kids are 99% and 25% as you mentioned, but I don't think its a free pass to McDs free of judgement. Hm. Very interesting post! I think what is most interesting to me is how God does not prefer kids to be a certain shape, but he does prefer me to be a wise mom when it comes to raising (and feeding) the kids. Great mind-fodder for me today! This would not be a mommy blog material post, Tiff, so I am glad you posted it here!
