“I’m SOOO fat!”  (But hey, at least I’m skinnier than you…)

Meet  Rachel Simmons, educator, coach, international speaker, and author of the recently re-released bestseller Odd Girl Out, on the hidden aggression of girls and the often brutal race to be popular on the next fitsmiForMoms Radio Show, Friday November 18 from 1-1:30 pm EST.

Find out why competitiveness and anger are so hard for many girls to own up to, and how they cope.  How can parents help their daughters to manage their negative emotions without resorting to bullying, depression, or anxiety?

The discussion will have a special focus on how body weight skews girls’ status and self-esteem.   Find out the three meanings behind the coded term “I’m so fat” and what girls really mean when they say it to each other.
