August Most Improved Competition [ENTRY OPEN until start]

[KittyO1]

Literal lol

My kid was introduced to gummy snacks and juice drinks at school. Snack time was part of the special ed curriculum in K-3rd. When I asked for more nutritious snacks my son's sedentary, morbidly obese teacher responded the gummy snacks and juice drinks *were* nutritious as they were "made with real fruit juice." Yeah, like 2%

I lost that battle
I'm still p!ssed about it

I bet you were!! I have that “discussion/argument” all of the time! It’s sad how little the majority actually knows about food/nutrition!


I grew up being one of those! Hit 150lbs before leaving elementary, 200 in middle school! It was mind blowing once I started lifting and learning about nutrition. Sadly I was already 28ish? I have tried to instill good habits in both of my kids though! At 17/11 they make a lot of decisions on their own now! Thankfully neither one has the issues I have had!

Thanks for sharing that. My heaviest not pregnant weight was 165 (at 5'1). Been dieting (on and off) since I was 7. Lucky for me I've always been very active. I love sports and exercise- just using my body feels good. It was when my boy was 2-7 (early intervention years) that I didn't take care of myself at all. I was 100% focused on him and his therapies. That's when my weight got really outta hand. When I could do better for myself I did.
It is shocking how the average person doesn't know much about diet or exercise.
Keep killing it, lady!
