mook53lhd: I never had a weight problem not even when i was pregnant.We eat everything in moderation very little fast food.We always eat breakfast thats the most important meal of the day.Our oldest is not allowed to buy from the vending machines at school.Children are too obese to the hurried lives we Americans have.I'm Italian and we have a very large family which the ruler( my granmother)lol always wants to feed everybody.
We never skip any meals and i never force my children to clean up the food on their plates.
I'm under 40 but close to it and i hope i can stay within my weight range.
Some ppl are over weight due to illness,too many carbs and never excercise.I don't mean hard excercise a walk beats being a couch potatoe.
