Hi, my daughter was never chubby until she was put on too much cortef. I also tried hard to steer her in the right direction (still trying)without hurting her self esteem. She gets to go swimming, play racketball, basketball, amongst other things at the Y. My children do this while I’m working out.  Anyway I try to set a good lifetime example of how to live and attempt to be healthy. Hopefully they will carry it on with them. Anyway I’ll never forget when my daughter’s old doc sent in a chubby nutritionist to tell me how to feed my child lol. That was a joke, I feel if your gonna talk the talk you better walk the walk. They absolutely have no idea that when a person is on too much of the steroid, they can eat like a rabbit and still gain weight. Also to be honest, I think that many that are proned to gained weight will weigh at least 5-10 lbs more than they should, even if they are on a good dose.

 My daughter however, since then has blossomed into a beautiful young lady. I am so proud of her. She will more than likely have to fight the battle of weight gain forever, just like I do. But I guess if I had to pick a fight that would be the right one to pick :o) take care all.....
