[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, and for the record no one in my family refers to my daughter as "the fat one". High blood pressure and diabetes runs on my dads side of the family. Unfortunately, I had gestational diabetes both times when I was pregnant and I have a high chance of permanently getting when I get older, I'm doing everything to keep myself healthy because I was always a little bit overweight and never exercised when I was younger. I'm very proud of both my daughters, my 12 yr old is also a great artist, her drawings and paintings are beautiful. Music is also important in my family and she has exceeded everyone in that department and I couldn't be more proud. There's nothing wrong with being active and Im not trying to be a pushy parent. I came here for advice and ideas to get her to be more active. Any who, she took the initiative and went around the neighbor to ask if she can walk dogs. So 3x's a week she walks 3 dogs and she is also getting paid! She's excited to start she loves dogs and her friend will also be with her to keep her company and help. [/quote]
