Recently my family and I took Our first family vacation. We went to Florida to see the mouse. We visited all of the parks and finished our days at the pools. And try as I might, I just couldn't help notice how many kids were overweight. So peeking my curiosity I started to observe these people.
The first thing that I observed was how aggitated they seemed to be. Here they were in one of the happiest places on earth and they couldn't enjoy themselves. Why this maybe I cannot say. I can only tell you what else I observed.
While the thinner kids were so excited they could be accussed of being hyper the heavier Obese children tended to be sitting on the benches drained of energy and all enthusiasm. They were actually moping at the Magic Kingdom?!!! These kids were short Tempered and constantly looking around to see who was judging them.I also took in the sad observation that these obese children dreaded being at the pool or water parks. Literaly, they were uncomfortable in their own skin. Who could blame them? Constantly being judged, out of energy, and depressed. I wouldn't want to be in a swimsuit in public either.
These children need help. They need positive encouragement, and they need guidance so they can grow to be happy healthy and confident people.
