💬 “Mom… am I fat?” 💔
If you’ve ever been caught off guard by that question — you’re not alone.

Our kids are noticing bodies earlier than ever, and what we say in that moment matters more than we think.

In this week’s episode of Messy Bites, I’m joined by pediatrician Dr. Whitney Casares to talk about how to respond with empathy, how to let them in, and how to raise kids who love their bodies — no matter what. 💛

In her newest book , My One of a Kind Body, she helps lay the foundation for body confident kids!

This is a question from a mom I saw just 2 weeks ago:
💭 “What do I do if only one of my kids is overweight?”

It’s such a common worry — and I get it.
But the answer might surprise you:
You don’t serve different meals.
You serve the same one — with love, structure, and balance. 💛

🎧 I break it all down in this week’s Messy Bites episode:
“One Child Is Bigger, One Is Thinner… What’s a Parent to Do?”

Many of us grew up hearing food phrases that shaped how we saw our bodies, our appetites, and even our worth.
❌ “Mija, estás gorda.”
❌ “No dessert if you don’t finish your veggies.”
❌ “Eat everything on your plate—kids are starving somewhere else.”

Our parents did the best they could with what they knew. 💜

But now it’s our turn—to re-educate ourselves and transform our kids’ nutrition into something rooted in respect, culture, and joy.

✨ So they grow up hearing something different than we did.

👉 Swipe through to see the phrases we can leave behind—and the words we can replace them with.

Imagine if we expected kids to ride a bike perfectly the first time. 🚲

✨ That’s what we do with food—and it’s unfair and sets kids up for failure!

Learning to like new foods takes practice, patience, and time. 💛

✨ Parent reminder: You don’t need perfect lunches. You are already enough. 💖

Because social media isn’t real — and neither are many of those “perfect” school lunchboxes you see online.

Your child doesn’t need star-shaped sandwiches, rainbow veggies, or pricey bento boxes. What they do need is simple:
✔️ Food they’ll actually eat
✔️ Balance
✔️ Your love and consistency 💛

So yes — leftovers count. Packaged snacks count. Fruit in any form counts. Repetition is okay. 🙌

🥪 At the end of the day, the best lunchbox isn’t the one that looks perfect… it’s the one that comes home empty and with a happy kid.

🎧 This is exactly the conversation I had with Alex — real, non-judgmental advice on making balanced school lunches: what really matters, and what doesn’t.

It’s all about CONNECTION ! 💫❤️

As a pediatric dietitian and mamá, I don’t say “Just try it, you’ll love it!” when my kids see a new food especially when traveling. 🌎

Instead? I invite them to get curious—to touch it, smell it, ask questions, and even walk away if they want.

From fish eyes to mercados, here’s how we explore food while traveling… without pressure. 🐟🦐🤌🏽

This is how u help them CONNECT with food! 💫

📌 Save this if you’re raising a curious eater (or hoping to!). Remember it’s not a NO forever! 😜

👇🏽 Tell me—what’s the wildest thing your kid has tried?

No schedules, No curated camps, no screens. Just freedom, fresh air, dirt, cousins, tortillas and asadero.

SLOW SUMMERS AT THE RANCH ☀️🐎

I grew up spending summers in the family’s ranch in Chihuahua—no phones, no lights after 9pm, just the sound of lightning, cows, and scary stories with the cousins. We played cards with tías, climbed hills unsupervised, found dead scorpions to play pranks and yes… probably got a little too comfortable around cow p**p. 💩 🐄

These my most precious childhood memories.

And now… It’s my daughter’s turn.

There’s something sacred about these slow summers.
Where kids roam free.
Where they can get dirty, eat burritos con asadero, and fall asleep with the dirt still on their legs.

I want my girls to know this kind of freedom.
To know that it’s okay to be muddy, curious, wild.
To feel rooted and ready to explore the world.

Because being from the border means you can be both:
🌾 a ranchera/venezolana at heart
✈️ and a citizen of the world.🌎

And we don’t have to choose.

May they never forget where they come from.
And may these summers stay with them, forever ❤️
