Lose Weight for Your Child's Sake
Bringing up a child can be tough, physically and mentally. Let's talk about something many people will not tell you for being afraid that they will hurt your feelings – your extra weight. If you're a mom or dad, you'll know all about those, and you may feel a need for more calories to keep you going. But those extra calories will actually hold you back, making the going even tougher for you.It's important to eat well in your demanding role, but that doesn't mean eating extra.In fact, if you have a weight problem, now is the time to sort it out, for your child's sake. Here are four reasons why.
To Protect Your Child From Dangers
Kids run about, and sometimes they run into danger. There's no knowing how or when it will happen, so it's vital that you're physically able to leap up and hoist him or her to safety at a moment's notice. That can be tricky when you have a heavy body to maneuver. Even everyday tasks, like bending down to tie your child's shoelace or wipe a slippery floor, will pose a challenge when flab gets in the way and clothes threaten to rip – and undone laces and slippery floors can cause accidents. But by keeping slim, or losing excess weight, you'll be able to fix such matters easily and be more likely to keep your child out of harm's way.
