Grace Will Get To Decide For Herself As She Gets Older
In her blog, Cooper explains how she prefers to eat healthy food that makes her feel better. This is what she hopes to instil in her daughter, and she just hopes Grace will be healthy and happy when she’s older too. Shannon also wants Grace to be able to decide for herself, and realizes that if she does go to a friends party, she might decide to eat all the sugary snacks she’s never eaten. However, she secretly hopes that she will learn the first time and overdo it and realize that she feels sick. “And next time instead of eating 12 cupcakes she might only eat three.”

Cooper Wants Grace To Feel Good About What She Eats
Cooper says that she’s not going to restrict Grace’s diet when she grows up, as she wants her to have a healthy relationship with food and feel good about what she eats. She told Daily Mail Australia how,“I don’t want there to be any disordered eating around food. Females particularly have enough problems with eating disorders… I want Grace to eat what makes her feel good. That’s the reason I eat this way. I don’t think eating a piece of bread is going to kill me.” Whilst many praised Cooper for raising her daughter in a healthy way, there were still critics who were still not convinced.
