There seems to be a lot more fatter kids than ever before!

I have to say that working at an elementary school this past year has opened my eyes to the reality of obesity. When I was that age, there was always that one really fat kid who stayed that way all the way through school. Do you remember that? Of course this was 30 + years ago. Now, even though I'm at a realitivly higher socio-economic school, I'm astounded at the number of fat kids on the play ground. I'm not saying the moderately over-weight (which there are alot more too), I'm talking about the morbidly obese kids. Instead of that "one kid", there are dozens. What are we doing to our kids? This is one more motivation factor for me to get into shape! How can I be an example unless I myself am in shape? "Do not judge others without first pulling the plank out of your own eye"! Given all of that, parents: Please be aware of what your kids are puting into their bodies. I urge you to not put your children through a lifetime of regret and shame. Let's all make an effort to eat right and excersize more. I know I am.
