I'm using myself as a warning tale
My parents broke up when I was a baby. I was thus raised by my mother. During my childhood, my mom was constantly at work, or getting her MBA at night, then getting her PhD. I wanted to play peewee football as a kid but she couldn't get the time to take me to practice & pick me up, and my family is made up of gossipy hotheads, so my mom was always at odds with them & I couldn't get a relative to give me a ride.
Therefore, after school I'd get on the school bus & stay in the house with my older sister, who was 4 years older than me & in charge, and watch mid-2000s Disney Channel & Nickelodeon until my mom came home at 8 or 9. Most of the time she was DEAD tired and wasn't cooking, so I'd either eat a fatty, high cholesterol TV dinner or she'd bring us some unhealthy fast food.
Keep in mind, my only physical activity was going to P.E. 2-3x a week, so of course by middle school I got
At this time (middle school) is when I started to get self conscious about my weight. Of course my mom was making excuses to cheer me up, calling it baby fat
and talking to administration when I got clowned for being fat in middle school. In addition to this, I also was born with congenital glaucoma & blind in my right eye, which developed an outward gaze, so I was getting clowned even more
My sister was eating the same junk as me, but she's a female and her fat (no incest) distributed nicely & nikkas love "thick" girls
High school came around and I'm thinking, YES! I can finally play football, and ball out, and people will like me! But then my eye doctor told me I couldn't play football because she was scared of what a brain injury could do to my optic nerve
So, I stayed in my fat boy, lame nikka lane. I kept continuing on with my bad diet, but I was also going to the park & playing basketball since I was old enough to defend myself. Since I was getting shytted on by girls, I found out about a thing called Internet porn and used it to cope with my lack of success & painful depression
Excuse me, I just shed some tears
Anyway, I just graduated HS in 2016 & in college now. I finally have access to fitness equipment & health materiel. But old habits die hard
At the beginning of the year I was 260, got all the way down to 200 by my birthday in June via sprinting, eating no fast food and drinking green tea and sparkling water. But I got in a celebratory mood too early and got back into my old habits, and ballooned back up to 230I found out today I have high blood pressure @ age 20
This is why I urge you to watch your kids health & fitness. Mannnn, if I had my dad at home, and my mom was cooking dinner every night, and I was playing sports, I could've been great. But because not, I was binge eating fast food & sugary snacks, and paying the price I'm paying the price now I can't shake the bad nutrition habits from my young years, which is causing me to stay fat & now giving me hypertension.
Inma be alright, I'm going to see a dietitian soon & defeat this demon. But I'm just a treacherous tale. Y'all don't do this to your kids goddammit!!! Think about the future!!!!!

Good eating habits start young and it's true that many parents just give their kids junk since that's what the easy thing to do is. Hopefully there will be a change in society and future generations won't be eating so much junk at a young age.
My sister getting piped by a Coli poster would make me suicidal
