For this reason, and for many others, I am very grateful that I have a son. There's less of a chance that he'll be affected by my negative views simply because he's not a girl. I'll never see him as a miniature me.
That's sad about your FOO issues. I know what you mean about worrying for a daughter about body image stuff. My daughter is really tall and that's an issue for her (However, she doesn't look anything like me so that kind of makes it easier to not transfer any issues.) If my 2bx had ever said one negative thing to her about her physical being I would have kicked him to the side of the road so fast laws of physics would have been broken.
