Obesity Fact

Last night I was reading a book No-Diet Obesity Solution for Kids by Miriam B. Vos, MD., MSPH. There was a fact that brought home our situation, it is about Family Risk of Overweight/Obesity in Children. This came from the New England Journal of Medicine, published in 1997. If one parent is overweight/obese, a child's risk of being overweight increases by 3 times. Now get this secondary part, If both parents are overweight/obese, a child's risk of being overweight increases by 13 times. Now if you are overweight, look at your mother, father, grandmothers and grandfathers. Are they overweight? If so you may have a hard road because what you are going to do is upset the apple cart. I believe YOU CAN DO IT! Once you make a decision to change YOU have the power to change it. I'm just here to help you along the way. My job is to coach you, answer questions, offer suggestions but your life is your life, you are gaining the knowledge to make the decisions from your decision tree. Just because statistics say one thing, doesn't mean that you are destined to a certain outcome. You are YOU and You have strength, power, knowledge and the ability to change!!!
