Overweight Parents In Starbucks Want To Discuss Obese Daughter

May 17, 2012  •  1 Comment  •  Uncategorized

I just got ambushed by an obese couple who recognized me and wanted advise on how to help their teenage daughter lose weight. They were both at least 75+ pounds overweight and had NO questions for themselves, only for how to help their daughter.

Did you know that having one obese parent raises a child’s risk of obesity by 50%, two obese parents shoots that number up to 80%. This child only has a 20% chance of success.

My heart goes out to her as this will be a tough one. It will be like living in the crack house, which crack addicted parents, while trying to get clean.
