[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a fat kid in the 1970s. I played outside all day long, we had one car and no central a/c until the 1980s in our 4 bedroom 2 1/2 bath house. Our food came from huge gardens that my grandparents maintained and we would get a slaughtered cow and pig that would go in the deep freezer for use all winter. I was still fat. I have struggled with my weight all of my life. [/quote] PP again. We had one car because my mother didn't drive until my I was about 10. My dad was a white collar guy (banking) and my mom was a teacher. I definitely moved a lot more without it being purposeful (eg walking, biking, running v. going to a gym) as a kid. I didn't play sports, though. I took music, dance, art classes. We ate meals together as a family -- breakfast and dinner -- every day. My mom packed my lunches. No fast food. No sugary cereal. No snacking other than fruit. I was a fat kid. [/quote]
