Austin plays soccer and has horses but when soccer season is over she plays with the horses and cleans stalls and feeds and walks them too..........she isnt super active I guess but she eats way too much portion-wise..........

I try to help her make healthy choices and she eats every meal at home (except school lunch M-F) because I cook.....I hardly ever let her eat fast food (maybe once a month or once every 2 months at the most).........

She isnt fat but is a little bit heavy around the middle........her legs and face and arms are all normal size.........I just dont want to act like it isnt important because food is just as bad for you as drugs if you eat the wrong things!! It causes heart disease, diabetes, stroke, etc. and to me it is so important to make sure they develop healthy habits.........I think Im a little too over the top with making her watch her choices so Im going to try and chill a little bit.............but I agree that healthy choices and exercise are the key to getting it right...........

Thanks!!!

It really helps to realize that they arent going to listen now............I keep expecting her to listen and do it........then I realize that she is a teenager and that means anything that comes out of my mouth she isnt going to listen to Well, not in the same way I would want her to...........maybe it all comes into action when they get a little older!
