I might be stepping on some toes here, but after reading a story in the paper yesterday, I knew I had to write about this.
The story talked about boys who were undergoing surgery because they were so obese that they grew breasts similar to that of a woman.
(Their obesity was caused by overeating, and not a medical condition).
How on EARTH can a parent let their child get to a point where they are growing breasts? Not only that, but the paper mentioned that there were children in the UK as young as two and three years old who were overweight! Unbelievable! We all know that healthy food consists of plenty of fruit and vegetables amongst other things right? If we all know this, then why are there so many overweight children out there? Why do so many people need to lose weight? I've heard countless stories of parents (mainly mothers) who say they give their child junk food because they throw a tantrum if they don't.
Have these parents ever stopped to think of the damage they are doing to their child by letting them eat this way? Why don't they just not buy the junk food so there is none in the house for them to eat? Can it really be that hard?? Unfortunately for many it is.
And the reason for that is because many parents can't even feed themselves properly, let alone their children.
If you're reading this, now is the time to step up and set a good example for your children - for their sake.
Change your eating and exercise habits today! Allowing a child to become overweight through eating the wrong foods and overeating really is cruel.
Your child will suffer with health issues as they get older and they will be teased at school.
Is that really what you want for your child? Of course not! If you need to lose weight then do so for your children if not for yourself because you are setting an example for them.
Start them young and their eating habits will carry on into adult life.
If you want them to live a happy, energetic, fulfilling life, then start on your weight loss journey NOW.
