Lets call this one, Guilty Mom-

I am pretty strict when it comes to what goes into my childrens mouths (at least what I can control)

My daughters 12, shes in tennis, cheerleading, gymnastics, and swim-shes a petite little thing- but she loves the sweets-

My son is 10, hes a stocky boy, hes in soccer, football, martial arts and swim- he is the big eater, hates pastas and pizza but loves his potatoes and bread

So how do I control these two so that they dont become fat like myself-

I dont buy soda, we have a water machine thing, thats 99% of what they drink, when home, they are allowed a juice box during the day, and special occasions of when we go out for dinner (rarely)- they get their soda-

Also, no seconds- they get their dish and thats it. If theres extra vegetables, they can have that-

And I force activity on them- i cant stand watching them sit around too much- weather permitting, i have them go outside and "find something to do"- i buy them anything i think will keep them active- we have basketball hoops, pool, goalies for soccer, bicycles, skateboards, heelies, skateboard ramp, giant trampoline etc- i want them to ENJOY being physical

So why the guilt? Because im the one sneaking the potato chips in my bedroom, hoping they dont catch me- im the one helping myself to seconds, its terrible terrible terrible and i feel so bad- I want badly to let my kids eat the crap their friends get to eat but i cant. Being FAT changes a person. I cant stand those people who say theyre happy being obese- Now before anyone gets offended, I am talking about the people are out of breath walking stairs (like me!) Who can be happy with that? Im getting off subject now...

So back to changing- I know what I have gone through being overweight, and the idea of my kids going through the same thing is like a punch in the heart- I absolutely positively cannot allow that to happen- I can admin im a bit obsessive about it- not to the point where they notice (i think)

And I just dont want my kids to "not be fat" and be healthy, I want them to LOVE activity. I want them to truly enjoy sweating it. I want them to be fit and into fitness.

Now- is that so bad- advice, suggestions, comments are welcome- aslong as you agree with me (just kidding)(not really)
