one of my twins is very heavy, basically fat. she doesn't eat sweets, really, we don't keep candy or cookies in the house, she eats healthy, but a lot of healthy food. and, no matter what the **** you want to say about it, she puts on fat a lot easier than my other kids do.
anyway, she's also the smartest of them, and she is very very determined. I just bought her 2 biographies of teddy roosavelt, I think that I am going to make him her patron saint. for those of you who don't know, he was a sickly child and his father told him that to succeed in life he'd have to build up his body, and he become, probably, the fittest president (maybe after George Washington and Andrew Jackson). anyway, my idea is to have her read the books, then have a talk with her about how she just got the bad luck to have a body that is more prone to putting on weight, and that she will have to work the rest of her life at keeping fit, like her daddy. lets see how that goes
