My four year old daughter walked up to a pretty heavy set guy yesterday and said: You have very large muscles Sir!
Guy gave a biggest smile ever and hugged her. Great moment.

Just wait until she figures out the difference between big, heavyset, FAT and muscular. Kids are to honest.
I remember when mine was around 4 and walked up to a lady in the check out line at Safeway with a kid who was throwing a temper tantrum and said, Your daughter needs a spanking. :)

Exactly. Kids are like a sponge. I don't speak around then anymore.Quote:

So we, as parents, are sending mixed signals to our kids....
....but the woman is slowly losing this battle. My son eats VERY healthy, and my daughter is significantly improving.

I find that, even amongst those who train regularly, there are very, VERY few people who have a strict, healthy diet 6 days a week. It seems to be true that everyone can exercise and go to the gym, but that what differientates the great from the others is dietting. I've been going to the same gym for a couple years, and I see a lot of people who, even though they seem to train properly, have made very little progress. My guess is that they either don't know how to diet properly, or don't have the will to do so.Quote:

Yeah good luck with that Jay94, we know your idea of a perfect woman but enough of us have been there, done that or seen it to know how the perfect woman can change instantly over night due to marriage, hormone imbalance or balance, having a kid, biological clock, menopause or 10,000 other reasons. The only perfect woman is the one you decide that you are going to stay with no matter what and you are going to accept any/all of her inconsistencies, mood swings, non rational purchasing decisions, reasons for feeling depressed or neglected and understanding that you are always 100% wrong and not arguing.
Other than that the age old saying holds true. If it floats, flies or fvcks it's cheaper to rent.

The problem is, most people grow up developping bad habits, and when times get really tough, they tend to come back to those habits. I need to have children of my own so I can teach them good and healthy life habits at a young age and ensure that they'll stick to these all their life.Quote:

Yes it's good to teach them right from wrong and how to live healthy but be careful, the more you push the more they will push back. It's just nature.
Damn it. You are depressingly right.Quote:

If you have a healthy lifestyle though and dont try to force it on them they will learn and be more apt to follow. If nothing else they will have the knowledge. Let them want to participate then encourage them but never force them. That does not mean let them quit once they start something such as sports, martial arts or music lessons. They need to know that once they start something they need to follow it through at least to a set point.
A friend of mine has his daughter who just turned 10 in Karate. She has gotten bored the last 6 months and didnt want to continue but he told her she had to stay in it until she got her black belt then she could stop or take a break. She just got her black belt last week. I think it's good to have expectations like that.
I have nothing to answer. All I can say is that is all sounds very true. Thanks for the insight!!Quote:

Realizing you dont know everything or have all the answers and little control of future events is the first signs of maturity and being able to direct your destiny with a little foresight.Quote:
