Unfortunately, I think this is even more complicated than just that. I think that also seems kind of obvious to people that like, oh yeah, I probably shouldn't call myself fat in front of my child or beat myself up. I've had a lot of conversations, I'm sure you guys have too, with actually parents that are making healthy and good choices, still communicating it wrong.

For example, how many times you've had to talk to a parent who is weighing and measuring their food to track their macros And the kid is curious to what they're doing. And then simply how the parent responds could also set them up. Oh, mommy needs to lose weight. Oh, why do you need to lose weight? And you position it like you need to get in shape or I need to lose weight.

And that's why you're doing these things. You got to be even careful in a situation like that. And that's a family. making healthy, good choices. That's right. Because this is a new behavior I see mom doing and dad doing, and then their answer is, oh, yeah, because I'm fat, or they say something like that. You got to be very careful.

with a healthy relationship with exercise and with also a healthy relationship with food, what I think is important is what does that sound like when you talk about when, because I think people that listen to this podcast for the most part, I think are either already on a health and fitness journey or embarking on one. And probably a lot of them have kids.

And they're probably going in their gym and working on their house. They're probably making good food choices, weighing and maybe even measuring and tracking their macros. And so what does it look like when my son goes, Daddy, why are you weighing your food? Or why are you tracking that?

What are the words that you're communicating to them that shows them that you have a healthy relationship with it and not that it's the unhealthy version of that?

No, no. I think I love the idea of, you know, energy, sleep, strength, feeling better. These are the words that I'm using of why I'm doing the thing. Why I'm exercising, why I'm weighing and measuring food is because when daddy does these things, I get the food that my body needs. I feel the best. I'm the strongest I am. I'm more productive at work. I'm a better daddy for you.

And then the next layer or level to that is how can I relate that to his life where he's currently at? You know how sometimes you get frustrated when you're doing your logos and you feel like you can't or Legos and you can't figure it out. Like when daddy eats well and I pay attention to what I'm eating, I'm sharper. I'm better at work. Cause I have the same thing too.
