Ok, I admit it! I watched Dr. Phil today on my day off! I have a cold on my day off and was lounging on the couch. lol

This mother has a son who weighs 150 pounds and was in complete denial about the entire thing! She keeps taking him to doctors wanting them to give her some medical reason for being obese, but keeps pouring the food in him. ?????????? This mother herself weighed over 350 pounds! The logic gene totally skipped this women! The kid already has acid reflux at 4 years old. I don't even want to know what condition his heart is in. Yikes, a little scary.

Just venting all, thx.

I enjoy having the option of getting fast food or pizza when I am either driving cross country or madly sutdying for an exam. That being said, we eat home-cooked food about 28 days out of the month, and I figure that more than balances out for a couple days off the wagon. No kids yet, but it seems like if mom and dad don't treat vegetables as something gross or a punishment, kids will want to be like them and give it a try. I watch that "Honey We're Killing the Kids" show on TLC, and the parents always have awful habits themselves.
