Are my parents to blame for me being overweight??

Question

I just looked through loads of my childhood photos

Right from being a toddler untill i was around 10-11

Now im 14 and ive slimmed down abit,

I started from being a bit chubby when I was younger

And in my older ones I am quite overweight.

I cried because you can tell I am the odd one out

And I honestly never realised I was that fat throughout my untill seeing them.

- - - - - -

Since I was chubby throughout the "toddler" stage

does that mean my parents are to blame for starting me out on bad habbits, i remember them giving me and my brother treats all the time and things but I never really thought about it before.

Also my brother is a bit overweight aswell...

Whats going on??

(also both my parents are normal weights so i do not have the "fat gene")

Answer 1

They probably are, but you are old enough now to realize what is good for you and not good for you and you have to step up and take control of your body and your weight.  

Answer 2

Sounds to me that your parents made some bad decision on what they feed you. And probably used poor choice of treats to reward good behavior. So i think they are so what to blame.

Answer 3

Probably your parents fault, they never pointed out that you were fat.

Answer 4

heaviness could come from your side of a generation and it's nothing to blame somebody for, it happens and being such shouldn't stop you of being who you are. Don't let this bother you so much at your age for it will drop as years go by. You can exercise and even that helps in having some of it reduced. You should never put the blame of such on one's that love you and kept you healthy. You are you and that's what should matter with not letting such change you. God Bless You!

Answer 5

Actually, yes it is your parents fault for making you overweight when you were younger. It was their decision to give you the food/treat or not. But now that you are older you can help your self and not be fed what your parents want you to eat. Hope I helped! =)

Answer 6

did they hold you down and jam food down your gullet?..I doubt it just another kid that has to try to blame thier shortcomings on mommy and daddy
