Dieting
October 27th, 2008With the national average weight of ALL age classes rising rapidly according to recent studies, you would THINK that people would be ready to do SOMETHING to get their weight, AND the weight of their children under control. There are NUMEROUS different things you can try out there, including everything from a dietpill to surgery, as well as good, old fashioned exercise and watching what you eat.
As a Mother, it’s kind of upsetting to ME, for people to say that my child is “underweight” JUST because he doesn’t fall into the “national average”. I know I can’t control what other people say or think, though. All I know is that exercise and watching what we eat has been a CONSISTENT part of our lives since BEFORE my son was born. And I have seen NO reason to change that as he’s gotten older. If he learns how to eat properly and stay active NOW, then, chances are that he will continue that as he gets older!!! I can only thank God that not ALL of us fall into the same “mold” that everyone else is making for us!!!
