Is It Baby Fat or Real Fat? The answer partly depends on the parents. A study of 854 Washington State children under three years old showed that a child is nearly three times as likely to grow up obese if one of his parents is obese. If you’re overweight, your child has a 65–75 percent chance of growing up to be overweight. So, is that little paunch on your fourth grader baby fat? Not if you’re sporting the same paunch.

My parents were kind of over protective people. Me and my sister had to play in the backyard all the time.

I've covered a lot of ground geographically and emotionally and for years I lost my connection with my family.

When you smile you get a smile back, unconditionally.
