Are parents to blame for their children being obese?

All over the world there is a growing epidemic in child obesity. We know what the result of this will be. Shorter life expectancy for the younger generations. These children are meant to be our future; but what future will they create if they don't like past their 30's? Is it really down to the parents that the youth of today are obese? Or are there other factors that influence obesity to occur?? Well, a study carried out did portray that "fat" parents over feed under five year old's, and that the government is misguided in its policy of trying to tackle the problem through expensive projects aimed at persuading children in primary school to eat healthily and exercise more. Instead, they should focus on educating new parents and parents-to-be to feed their children less before they start school, so they do not become overweight in the first place. Parents must learn to reduce portion sizes, this is reported on in the telegraph. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/7103587/Fat-parents-to-blame-for-childhood-obesity-epidemic-by-over-feeding-under-fives-study-finds.html

Also, due to the parents being obese the children like the same lifestyle and pick up their bad eating habits. The vast amount of microwave meals and processed ready made food that is available today, is an easier and an increasingly more common food option for breakfast, lunch AND dinner AS WELL as snacks. No wonder so many children are morbidly obese by their teens. There are kids that weigh more than me and I'm 19!! Its so scary to think that their lives are being shortened because of their lifestyle.

However, it has been argued that the increase in access to new media technology for youngsters is another large factor that is resulting in fat kids; to put it bluntly. Today more and more, children have TV's, games consoles, laptops and computers in their bedrooms. Without the discipline implemented by their parents they are less likely to exercise and play outside as much as children used to, resulting in technology being a contributor to obesity.

I remember watching Jamie Oliver's food revolution.... and WOW I was so shocked with the lack of knowledge children had about healthy foods such as vegetables!

May you find serenity and tranquility
in a world you may not always understand.
May the pain you have known
and the conflict you have experienced
give you the strength to walk through life
facing each new situation with courage & optimism.

Always know that there are those
whose love and understanding
will always be there even when you feel most alone.
May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile,
be yours every day of your life.
and may you give these gifts as well as receive them.
Remember,
Those whose lives you’ve touched
and who have touched yours,
are always a part of you
Realize that what you feel you lack in one regard
you may be more than compensated for in another.
What you fell you lack in the present,
may become one of your strength in the future.
May you find enough inner strength
to determine your own worth by yourself,
and not be dependent on another’s judgment
of your accomplishments
May you always feel loved.

A girl doesn’t need to tell you straight up how she feels, it’s written all over her eyes. If you can see how she feels without her telling you, then you definitely deserve her heart.

Why is providing for yourself SO HARD?!

I've been living away from home for two years now, as I moved out for university; and I must say it has been the most challenging thing I have EVER done. To think, once upon a time I was stressing about how I was house bound, had lack of freedom and WANTED to move out. Don't get me wrong its amazing living alone, having that independence and gaining so many valuable life skills; GOSH I sound like an old BORE, but seriously I didn't know the value of things until I had to start paying!!


I have probably had the WORST LUCK EVER since moving away for uni which hasn't helped the situation at all. Student finance completely f**ked me over, which resulted in me having to work at Walkabout so I could eat LOL. Doing this and having a five day week at uni in my first year was definitely a dive in the deep end. In addition to this, I STILL owe the uni a large amount of money.... as well as where I live now. My bag got stolen in January FROM THE LIBRARY...which obviously meant cards had to get cancelled; resulting in LATE rent payment. Late payment charges? Oh yes. Lots. :/ So I was working in telesales as well as working for the uni, BUT I've quit the telesales job as the manager was threatening to sack me after just three weeks! Me and my friends have worked out it was a scare tactic to try make me work harder; than I already was :/ as he offered me a place BACK THERE if I ever need to work. I expressed the importance of uni and deadlines, and also how this pressure was ridiculous as I only worked three hours an evening! JHEEEEZ! 


Don't shop unnecessarily. Don't drink and party a lot? What else can I do to make living easier?! ARGHHHHH win the lottery?? 

Why do people cheat within relationships?

Right this is a subject that really grates me. I fail to understand the logic behind cheating, AND how the culprit thinks they won't get found out; even if it's years later. It's ridiculous. LIES CATCH UP WITH YOU PLAYERS! My view is if you want to cheat BE SINGLE. Although for some reason many people are greedy and want have their cake and eat it, the best of both worlds so to speak. I mean being at the receiving end of lies, deceit and cheating is generally unexplainable. It's the ultimate betrayal. What's worse is when you stick with that person once they have broken your trust, and it's virtually impossible to get the relationship back to how it was prior to that. Obviously there are conflicting arguments with this statement; but believe me I'm telling you from my experience. 

I've found that the worst thing I did was stick with the person that literally broke every ounce of trust I ever put in him, for him to keep doing the same thing over and over again. The hardest thing is breaking out of that pattern. So a bit advice for you readers, once someone betrays your trust, think very hard about getting back into that relationship and think of the implications and changes that may come as a result of it. You should consider how they were treating you before the trust was broken. Did they take you for granted, speak to you like you are worthless, beckon on you when it was convenient for them and anything else along those lines...? If so GET RID! I reckon I only accepted this treatment because I craved his genuine affection and acceptance. You cannot change a person! So don't ever try to as it will all end in tears. Another thing I have learnt is that the only person that can change you is yourself. So...What happened? I was hurt far more than I probably would have been if I had just ended it in the first place. It's also resulted in me having trust issues with people generally, which really isn't fair at all on them. 

Now, if the culprit starts to dig up the smallest things that are irrelevant and have nothing to do with broken trust; but imply you have; ALARM BELLS SHOULD START RINGING. Reverting and flipping a situation like that generally indicates THEY ARE THE GUILTY ONES! What they're doing is looking for dirt on you to argue so it takes the attention and suspicion off them, it's also a sign of insecurity and paranoia. These too are indications of a guilty conscience. Don't let this fool you or make you feel guilty when you have done nothing wrong. An example of my own I can use to outline this in simpler terms for you, is me speaking to a friend innocently on MY WALL POST on Facebook that EVERYONE CAN SEE and then the culprit kicking up a fuss about it, accusing me of all sorts for me to then find out he was STILL lying about his ex, that was the reason the trust was broken in the first place. Now that little Facebook issue was the only thing the culprit brought up throughout of the rest of our relationship EVERY TIME his lies got caught out. DO NOT allow someone to manipulate you like that! 

There is no excuse for cheating BUT some people may cheat because they feel insecure within the relationship. The other person may make them feel like they are being cheated on or HAVE cheated on them in the past, resulting in them doing the same. DO NOT DO IT! Don't stoop down to their level, if you ever feel like that; end it. Revenge really isn't all that sweet, and you'll end up hurting yourself more. 




Now here's a few video's that play out a few different scenarios in regards to cheating
