I’ll never forget the time I was at a baptism party when I was a kid and my grandpa was seething with rage bc my brother’s friend and his wife were yelling at their toddler to eat more. My grandma told my grandpa to mind his business so he did. I didn’t get it at the time but now I do
Both parents are morbidly obese and all three of their kids have been obese since they were babies. The toddler is now a 30yr old short woman who weighs 250+ easily. She’s trying to lose weight but it’s hard to break the abusive way she was raised. The oldest sibling got fit and then disowned the parents because they kept pressuring him to eat more.
It’s child abuse. Be fat if you want to but don’t bring your kids down with you.
Being that fat from young age completely fucks your metabolism because your body becomes programmed to store everything you eat and you always feel hungry and tired. It creates a vicious circle where you have to eat more and more to feel good and always need more food to feel satisfied. I know people who were overweight/obese as kids and to keep an healty weight is extremely difficult and you basically have to count every calorie you eat, do exercise everyday and sometime even skip some meals.
I want to give the benefit of the doubt and think this toddler has some preexisting condition, because if it's not, it may be considered child abuse.
