Are you dieting again? By JOANNE KALKMAN, RDN Community Nutritionist, North West Health Unit. WE’RE BACK from the holidays and many of us have started New Year’s resolutions to eat less and exercise more in our constant effort to oblain the perfect body. But our misplaced ideals are affecting our children’s perception of self-worth and self acceptance. The 1994 Canadian Dietetic Associa- tion’s Nutrition Month Resource Manual quoted a US study of children in grades 3-6. The results were starting. Forty-five per cent of children wished they were thinner, while 37% had al- teady been on a diet! A shocking 7% had anorexic-like behaviours, and 1.3% had vomited to control weight. Body image is the mental picture a person has of himself or herself. Chil- dren of all sizes are preoccupied with thinness. Girls are often concerned about being ‘‘too fat'’ whereas boys are more concerned about height and mus- .. cles. By the time children enter school many admire thin, muscular body shapes and reject overweight ones, It is our responsibilily as adults to help children understand that we are all unique individuals and that our bodies have been genetically programmed to be a certain size and shape. All chil- dren, regardless of the way they look, deserve to feel good about themselves. WATCH IT! Children watch TV for an average of 20-30 hours per week. This not only bums few calories bul also influences eating habits because of TV advertising that promotes high [at, high sugar foods (Canadian Medical as- sociation Journal, 1994), Here are some alternatives to those dicting New Year’s resolutions. For adults, try skating with your child. Stop dieting (it doesn’t work). Serve bean- based meals more often. There’s plenty of good ideas for chil- dren too, If it’s snowy, tell them lo go sledding with friends instead of watch- ing TV. Encourage them to try a new vegetable or fruit they’ve never had be- fore. And gétthem to eat at the table,.- not in front of the TV. life.
