I hear you. I've posted elsewhere about my own tribulations with my daughters, who are, like me, prone to obesity. Unlike me, they haven't yet grasped the usefulness of the low-carb way of eating. As a child, I watched several family members grapple with obesity and its physical and social complications, and I have plenty of my own issues about it. So sometimes it's hard for me to know when to step back and let them learn as they seem to need to do. I don't claim to have found the magical solution.

At the moment, my health and weight are pretty much under control, and the dear girls choose to regard me as a genetic freak--they definitely don't take after me, you see! Evidently they think I was born without the potato chip-craving gene!
