(655) Mum and daughter

Have you noticed how a mother's obesity is linked to her daughter's being underweight?

We look at my son's friend and his family. Nicholas is a happy-go-lucky boy. His father changed jobs often. It is not that the man is lazy. Yet somehow he could not keep a job for long. As a result of that, the financial burden is on Nicholas' mum. The cares of life contributes to her seeking solace in food. Way before she reached forty, she became obese.

Nicholas' sister, on the other hand, is serious and has a tendency to be a perfectionist. She has little appetite and eats sparingly. As she grows taller, her weight increases little. Her BMI went below 24. During her exam year, she became gaunt and haggard. The counseling teacher in her school actually sent her to a government hospital to screen and make sure it is not anorexia nervosa.
