This is amazing thank you for sharing

Thank you! We have some really large members at our church but so it is perfectly normal for our kids to not be let’s say athletic. I would not be ashamed of fatness as it is part of being a good Christian to tolerate guilt, and those that are not guilty might not be forgiven and thus might not reach heaven. I myself often have guilty feelings of not enough faith in God but I use this guilt to ask for forgiveness so I can be saved. I don’t think we should try to overcome our guilt but recognise it as part of being a Christian, even if it is difficult to live with. Even if we feel worse with this guilt, it I better to have it and know that we are true Christians. It brings us down, but it brings us together. Together, and down. Only then we can be saved. Being fat, well I’m bot fat to myself but if you choose to identify 558 pounds as fat, then that is your choice, but being like this does make me feel guilt but from my faith I think guilt is not an unholy feeling even if it means pain. It is like turning your cheek when struck as we are taught and deeply a part of our faith of tolerance our sadness and sickliness - including being large. Faith also why I love America 🇺🇸 and we are unique here, and an exception in the world that can spread faith to others to help them to tolerate guilt of sin, guilt of leaning away, and guilt of being large.

My teen got fat when they were 14 due to them spending their swimming money filling my belly with sweets every day. As a result he is now 190 lbs from 160 3 months ago and sits on his computer all day. I have also noticed he throws his vegetables at dinner in the bin. It is now noticeable he is getting a pot belly and moobs. Please help.

I am in a position wherein in meet a lot of children and it's not true that there is an epidemic of obesity in children. (This is the south of uk). The news said yesterday 50%. I would say closer to 2%. Look around you,... where are the overweight children... they're not there are they? I'm just fed up of hearing the nonsense. Where did these people get their information from?

They mean in America.

I feel like opposing a statistic with your own observational experience is a pretty poor oppositional piece. just because you don't notice it doesn't mean the statistic is wrong or untrue. if you still have any doubts as to whether or not these statistics are real, do a quick online search.

This is at UCLA, a university in California in America. This is pertaining to children here due to our diet being very high in fat and calories.
