Over the years post high school, I go back and forth on my weight. I will get to a point we’re I am just no happy nor comfortable with the shape of my figure. I also start to lose the weight, but once I get to a certain point, I stop and start to eventually gain it all back.
We have all been there…
Ahhh… Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just toss ourselves into a dryer for 40 minutes and come out 3 times smaller and wrinkle free??? Of course it would! But see what I did there… I got a vision in your mind that is too good to be true.
Life is tough. Life is hard. Life is challenging. In this age where dreams are coming true with technology… The fact remains… We don’t have the Fountain of Youth yet. We must take care of our bodies. We must treat our bodies like it is fragile. (WARNING: HANDLE WITH CARE)
Why are kids fat these days? Why are parents allowing this to happen? Why does it seem like the more we talk about it… the less things are happening about it??? For the past five years this topic has been in the news… but yet, they never just come out and call the parents out… well… I think someone should…
One Word of Advice from Dr. Lee:
If you start to notice your child is gaining weight… look into his or her habits. Looks into his or her recreational activities. Are they exercising? Does he or she go outside and play more than you did as a kid? Does it seem like your child doesn’t have any friends? If any of these answers are “no”… then its time to step up, be a parents, and teach your child healthy living.
What’s his main source of food? Junk food? Fast food? Frozen meals? If he is consuming all of these “types” of meals, then its a no wonder why he is gaining weight. A child needs nutritional meals during his youth so he can get the proper nutrition as his body is growing. Also, making home cooked meals and teaching your child what is good for the body and what isn’t, is a good way to teach your child how to have a healthy life.
I just don’t get why the media just doesn’t say the obvious… If your child is fat (and there is clearly NO medical issues), then shame on you! You are not a parent. You need to go to parenting classes and learn how to be one. You are KILLING your child! And if you cannot care for your children’s healthy well-being…. then why are you having kids??? It is your responsibility to make your child go out and play. It is your responsibility to feed him properly. Ugh… seriously, parents that let their kids do and eat whatever just really piss me off. You have to set rules… You have to set boundaries…
Don’t just be affectionate with your child… Look after his well-being as well…
