    Our own self talk affects the way our daughters view themselves. What does what you say to yourself have to do with her own feelings of self- worth? How do your eating and activity habits affect her nutrition and fitness? Could she be "catching" eating disordered behaviors from you? Identify the characteristics of eating disordered behaviors and learn ways to support your loved ones (and yourself) as you work to build a healthy self.
