Chubby Kids

One thing that Chinese and Filipino elders have in common is their fondness for babies who are chubby. Most oldies think that chubby babies are cute, and they are, really. However, overweight babies do have the tendency to become overweight kids, and later, overweight adults, when they then think about diet, exercise and weight loss pills because by this time, everyone wants them slim. It's ironic right? Not just that, being obese also poses a lot of health problems.

That's why I want my babies to be just at their ideal weight. Not too fat, not too thin, just healthy enough. I do not want to give in to the pressure of fattening up my kids so they'll look commercial worthy (at least here in the Philippines). I want them to have a good and healthy image of themselves, and be happy and healthy.
