Her series on growing up with a fat father will appear on occasional Fridays on Well in June and July. Currently, I live with my boyfriend and his family and they always sit down for a home cooked meal and talk, it is odd for me never having that growing up.

I’m back at weight watchers and struggling, trying to slay the inner fat girl as well as maintain healthy habits. With an almost ten-year-old who still has the chub of a baby, combined with the watchful eyes and powerful brain of a much older kiddo, I’m careful about what I eat, what I say about what I eat, and how often I exercise. Growing up with divorced parents, my mom wasn’t much of a cook so I could count on lots of junk/snack food as “meals.

As a fat kid I felt left behind and bad about myself and started binging AND over exercising trying to cope with what I felt like was a lose of unity with my mom. I’ve worked very very hard over the years to make sure they know that you eat when you are hungry, you stop when you’re not, and that snacks are fine, but not a substitute for love or anything else.

My grandmother, who was nicknamed Beauty, taught me how good it felt to be cared for, and how to care for myself and others through cooking.

My father has been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for a few years now, and still eats all the sugar, fried foods, and carbs he wants.

But I watched what I ate and was keenly aware of calories and often fasted during my high school years – this was the 70’s and we were all striving to fit into our “Calvin Kleins. In today's world where fast-food restaurants, soda, and processed foods reign supreme, does fat dad have to mean fat kid ? Ultimately, we want to make the bus all inclusive, a kitchen for our community, regardless of colour, creed or religion. So, I guess my experience didn’t really instill bad habits, but it did make me very scared as to what can happen if you slip a bit too far. that I would end up being one of these ever-expanding, pear-shaped beings when I reached my 30’s and 40’s and beyond.All these horrible processed foods, while she continued to eat a much healthier and balanced asian diet. What is going on not only in his body, but also his mind and heart that leads him to have such an unhealthy relationship with food? Neither of my parents were ever seriously overweight, but both of them yo-yoed and emphasized dieting/restricting over building a sustainable, enjoyable lifestyle. No one is forcing me to eat but it is hard not to blame her – that’s where I learned the behavior from.

Instead of going out for dinner, we would go to each other’s houses, cook together, drink cocktails, and laugh.Though my waist is still small and the scale doesn’t read a scary number, these genes are in me, perhaps they too can be activated in a time of depression. I was a kid with health issues and numerous dr’s appointments a week meant burger King dinners on those days (big no-no).
