My family has always been really luck in that we all have a fairly good metabolism. I certainly don’t pig out all the time and eat junk, but I have definitely never really worried about my weight. As my girls have gotten older, however, it’s become apparent that my younger one didn’t inherit my body type. She has to be much more diligent about being active. I’ve joined her in a beginner running program so that we can do it together. I know that most kids that succumb to weight problems have very poor examples at home, so I want to teach her good habits while she’s young.
