[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a chunky kid. She is hungry ALL THE TIME. We emphasize protein and healthy eating and yet she’s still hungry. She does sports most days after school, I don’t think she’s ever had soda or McDonalds, we walk the  dog together every day. 
 I was super skinny as a kid and dont get it. But my MIL recently sent a bunch of pics of my husband as a kid and he was really chunky. It finally clicked that this is genetics at play. [/quote]

You never saw kid pictures of your husband until now?[/quote]

No is that a problem?[/quote]

It’s pretty darn weird. Are you estranged from his family? Never been to his childhood home? They have no photo albums? Never asked him, hey what did you like like as a kid?[/quote]

Why does it matter? She she not have married him bc he was a chubby kid?[/quote]

She would have been clued in a lot sooner and could changed behavior sooner. I can’t imagine being married 10+ years without ever seeing a single childhood photo of my husband. That’s a first time home to meet the parents activity. [/quote]

[b]Change what behavior?[/b] She already said her child has never even had McD or soda, is active, eats heathy, but she just eats more.  You can only limit food
and portions when they are young children.  Once kids are old enough to can get themselves food, if they are hungry they will find food and eat it. [/quote]

Portions. Balance of carbs and protein. Exercise choices and scheduling. It’s very helpful to know what your child is predisposed to. [/quote]
