Hi Everyone,
This semester has flown by extremely fast and I can't believe we are entering our final week. As I look back on this semester, I have learned a lot from everyone's chosen topic. I wanted my blog to be a true depiction on where our country stands with childhood obesity. I believe we as a nation have made great strides in combating the disease but there is so much more to be done.
This topic was personal to me because of the weight problem I see within my family. I had mentioned my nephew in the beginning of my blog and how he struggles with his weight. I am happy to say he has started swimming for leisure. It's a start, and I hope he sticks with it. I already see a difference in his confidence and attitude.
Thank you to everyone who commented on my posts. I feel childhood obesity is a topic that resonates with everyone, whether you have had struggles with weight or you know someone who does. Let's try to help one another lead happy and healthy lives.
