You may be familiar with the phrase, “lead by example.” ButI ask you this…do you? I like to think that I do but when I catch my behaviorin front of my oldest daughter, I really don’t. My main problem (like with mostwomen) is not being comfortable with my body and my weight. I am constantlydieting and I am criticizing myself in the mirror with phrases that start with,“ugh! I don’t like this,” and “this makes me look fat!” When I look at mybehavior through the eyes of my emotionally fragile and easily influenceddaughter (she’s 12!) I think, “If my mom doesn’t like the way she looks, I mustbe ugly too.” So the Glamour Girl Tip (GGT) to all mothers out there: Get offthe scales, stay out off the mirrors and look at yourself the way your daughterlooks at you and become that beautiful woman your daughter idolizes and lovesand wants to become when she grows up!  Chantel Smith is owner of Events in a Box NC, an eventmanagement and design company.
