Fat bairns

I see a few skinnies

all pale & drawn looking like a few good healthy feeds wouldnt hurt.

I think my point was I seem to remember the majority of us looking sort of 'athletic' and fit rather than underfed or podgy.

Like I say I definately have a skinny child, well he's 20 but looks like a good meal wouldnt hurt... he eats about 5 times a day. But he has roses in his cheeks and looks healthy. T'other lad is naturally athletic & over 6ft tall and again looks healthy

 

RE: I see a few skinnies

Which type would I fit into then? Maybe both.
Thin as a rail until I was 30 and now I'm old and a bit fat.

 

organised childrens football is partly to blame

for the lucky ones who can get a team, an hours training midweek and 70 minutes on sunday and they and their parents think they've had an hard week.</p>

For the vast majority who can't get a team,aren't confident enough to go and find one, or whose parents can't be arsed to find one for them theres next to bugger all exercise</p>

when I was akid and there wasn't any adults organising the football forus,games with 20 a side of all ages, happened all day saturdays/sundays and everybreak time and evening. No one got tired, we ate for britainand everyone looked like whippets</p>

 

RE: I see a few skinnies

go back to 1st thread. Said there we said skinny til our 30's. I 'filled out' 3 dress sizes in my 30's but have sorted messen out now & I'm back to slim if not skinny. My concern for fat bairns is if they're fat now what will they be like in their 30's

 

Dead

but still they talk about life expectancy increasing and raising the retirement age

 

So the fatties die early

to get reasonable amounts of exercise as a bairn now you needs parents who either have enough room to let you laik out safely or walk you to school or who dont care enough about you so you laik out unattended & walk to school on yer own/wi mates. You also need parents who have time to cook properly cos it takes both exercise & proper diet to make athletic healthy bairns.

TBH its only a generation since that was the norm... WTF happened
