    One of my neighbors is an entire family of obesity. Mom and dad are both obese. The two high school boys are obese. A younger daughter that looks around 10 is obese. Only a 4ish year old boy is not obese, but he won’t be for long.

      I cringe so hard when i see families like that. The daughter that looks 10 is probably like 5. They either stay fat and suffer their whole life, because gaining weight is so much easier than losing it.

      That is a rough situation, as from experience I can say trying to maintain a healthy weight will cause the obese folks in the family of accusing you of being anorexic and take any opportunity to try to get you to fatten up.

      They also marvel about how I must have good genetics because my back and legs don’t hurt and my blood tests come back so good at physicals.
