I am an adult. I am an obese adult. It’s hard for me to say out loud. I was an obese child.

Parents, your children will fight you on it, and make your lives miserable, but it will so better the younger you establish good habits in your children’s lives. Get together with a doctor and do the right thing by your child. No matter how many times your child tells you how much she or he hates you, be the grownup. Remember that you are the adult and it’s up to you to make sure the right choices are being made. Don’t give up on them or give in to them. Make it right.
