When women aged between 20 and 35 were asked about their body satisfaction and eating habits, researchers discovered remarks parents made about their weight or how much they ate as a child had a lasting impact. Those with a healthy BMI were 27 per cent less likely to remember their parents commenting about their weight than overweight women. They were also 28 per cent less likely to recall their parents saying they ate too much. But all women who remembered their parents’ comments were less satisfied with their size as adults. Proof messages about food can have powerful consequences.
