nina your story reflects my DD's. Photos of her at under a year show her big round tummy. She was breast fed and I followed all the rules. I had a lovely health visitor, who knew me and our eating pattern and was at a loss as to why she was so plump.
We think it is hereditary. On one side of DH 's family there is a pattern of people like her, roughly one in every generation; a great grandmother, great uncle, a cousin then her.
She is, and always has been, very active and has the smallest appetite in the family. I worried about bullying when she went to secondary school. When I asked her about it, she said, no bullying, just people saying 'You never go the tuck shop. eat very little lunch and spend every lunch hour playing tennis (with a county class player) or swimming. Why are you so fat?. Her answer always was. 'I have no idea'
She is now in her late 40s, no health problems of any kind, apart from her weight. She still swims, 5 or more miles a week, and walks everywhere, Ironically it is her brother, who does not have weight problems and also has a healthy lifestyle who has high blood pressure and incipient Type 2 diabetes, just like his father.
What do you think would go well with coasters like this?
