Will I Become Overweight When I Grow Up?
Question by Oliver: Will I become overweight when I grow up?
I am a 14 year old male, 5’5. I weigh 115 pounds. I exercise everyday and eat healthy. Diabetes and overweight problems run in my family. I have 6 siblings and my one sister, who is a dietitian, and one of my brothers are skinny. And me. My mom was overweight, but she had a surgery and she now craves healthier food, so she is skinny. Both sides of my family have diabetes. All my grandparents have had it. My mother will most likely not have it after her surgery. My dad was my size and active like me when he was a teen. He claims that he “abused” his diet as he grew up. I am pals with my mom and healthy sister. Will I be overweight?

It’s all in the choices you make in life. If you CHOOSE to eat junk food, fast food garbage & suck on sugary sweet sodas – yes – you will more than likely have problems with your weight.
If you eat HEALTHY, drink plenty of water, fruit juices & milk & snack on plenty of RAW fruit & veggies – and stay active – you shouldn’t have a problem.
You must get plenty of fresh air, sunshine & exercise, exercise, exercise.
Sitting on your butt playing video games all the time will pack on the pounds.
Get at least 8 hours sleep each nite.
No smoking – no beer/ale – no booze – no drugs.
