It’s a Weighty Matter!
Here’s to HEALTH
We are what we eat the old saying goes!
Well it is the same for our children.
There is really no excuse, in my estimation, for a child to be heavy. They should not be making their own meals and doing the shopping. They should not be serving themselves. We are the problem!
Sitting on the beach one day next to a heavy women with her 2 children, I watched as the kids were playing contentedly in the sand. Every now and then the Mom would get their attention with “ OK, OK, you can have just 2 more cookies . But that is it until lunch time.”
The kids had not asked for anything…..they just were fed.
We’re hungry and we justify it by feeding our children as well ( unless we’re into hoarding our food under our beds) That is a topic for another time!
If your children are overweight at all. Please take the matter in hand. This is your job and they need assistance!. Begin to monitor their diet. Buy healthy foods. Empty the cupboards of junk. They may balk but it MUST BE DONE.
You and I both know that it will be MUCH EASIER now than later.
So with the money you save on groceries go to Kmart and buy new sneakers for the family and start a daily walking regime! It will be a great bonding time and you will all get in shape as well!
Blessings,
