When family food patterns pass down through generations

My sister and I both inherited our mother's complicated relationship with food and dieting, and now we're watching our mom start to make comments about our young daughters' bodies and eating habits the same way she did with us. We want to protect our kids but we've never actually confronted our mother about this pattern, and we're not even sure we've healed from it ourselves.
