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.
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing such great information on this topic. I did a semester-long project on obesity prevention for a class this last semester, and I know that obesity is fast becoming one of the most significant health problems our nation is facing. Sadly, the obesity problem is extremely detrimental to the health of our children as well. I appreciate the passion you have for this topic, and applaud your efforts in the fight. Best of luck to you!
