@Alex M I love how it covers how these things can be passed onto the next generation, whether it's intended to or not. She a healthy sized beautiful woman says one (hypocritical) sentence about dieting for herself. Despite everything she said and did previously to prevent that sort of attitude being ingrained in the kids mind , but that one sentence sticks, because she's also seen and heard that attitude elsewhere. That one moment could start a young child developing an unhealthy relationship with food and a negative body image.
She loves her, and takes on board everything because she knows that person loves her back. Horrifying as her mother's initial thoughts about dieting her are, they're not born from malicious intent.Instead they're from a place of insecurity and almost protection, as she doesn't want her daughter to go through what she is. It's good that she snaps herself out of it and realizes the harm she's about to cause.
