    According to the staff at my gym, a lot of people will turn around and go home if the wi-fi is down.

    Umm... if you don't give your kids McDonalds, they won't eat McDonalds, will they? And just because they eat junk doesn't mean you have to, does it? Maybe I just don't get it because I don't have kids?
    They go out. Kids aren't isolated in their rooms all day only coming out to eat.

    They will end up going to McDonald's even if behind their parents back.

    My mom always told us if we don't eat her food we can make our own and don't ask again.

    And teachers often give kids candy and other junk food as rewards for right answers here or doing something out of their comfort zone.

    Especially elementary.

    I should point out that the friend who gave me this excuse for not losing weight had a toddler and a 4 year old. I really don't think that a 4 year old is gonna head down to McDonalds. Now, teen-agers? Sure! Teens eat junk food with their friends. I know I did. I also know my Mom also had a healthy balanced meal on the table when I got home. Why does having a teen-ager who goes out to get a Frappucino with her friends preclude a parent from eating healthier?

    On the other hand, it is a surmountable problem, if a person really wants to get healthier.

    Different perspective: I shop, I cook, they eat or go hungry. Period. Whining and backtalk gets an automatic backhand. I do however keep fruit and lowfat yogurt for snacks. That being said, I do try to find & make heathy meals my hubby and kids love (White chicken taco chilli is a family favorite). I figure that if I don't like the result of bad eating habits (my 203 lb self) I don't want it for my kids and will go to some lengths to prevent them being in the same "shape" as me!!

    What?

    I am not a fan of the excuse "I'm beautiful the way I am". I hear it all the time, and see it in print all the time.

    Anyway, we all have been in the river DeNial at times ourselves - and we hear it from those around us as well. C'est la vie...

    Pretty sure she meant she gives them a quick backhanded slap. You know, punishment for disrespecting her and being argumentative? My mother did the same to me, and I learned pretty quick to not treat her that way.

    One of my friends is 24, about 5'2, over 300lbs, lives with her mother and grandmother, and claims she cannot lose weight because, even though she cooks dinner for the household, eating healthy is too expensive and time consuming. When I asked why she didn't simply cut the portions in half, she said her family yells at her for not eating as much as they do...what?!
