What to do about a picky eater

You already know the world is facing an obesity epidemic.

People are weighing in at far more than the optimal weight, and this phenomenon has inevitably begun to spread among children.

30 years ago, there was generally one overweight child in any class in most schools.

Nowadays, the nickname "Fatso" can no longer be used because it would create too much confusion.

It's all happening because we have to move less and less, and we have almost any food we can imagine at our disposal. All of this has been possible thanks to technological evolution.

Yes, the species we are part of is be able to invent anything to make its life as easy as possible.

However, the genetic material we have cannot adapt so quickly and this actually is the main problem.

We live in a completely different world to the one in which we were programmed to survive.

But there is also the flip side of the coin. People who have inherited certain traits that in a world of deprivation would have brought them very close to the limit of survival.

The picky eaters.

✅ MODERATION

Yes, there are picky eaters out there and it seems that the world is theirs.

A picky eater will not be able to be fat (unless they would really strive for it). A picky eater will never be fat unless they lack a minimum of information.

These are those people who can naturally practice moderation.

You know who these people are: the lucky ones, those who can eat anything and anytime without putting a single gram of fat.

One of the 3 wishes I would make if I caught a magic goldfish would be to have the mind and appetite of such a person.

In my vision, there are two kinds of people in the world.

1. Those who can practice moderation.

2. And those who love to eat - just like me.

I will never be able to understand what goes on in the mind of someone who is naturally moderate.

Also, someone who has never been fat will never be able to understand what goes on in the mind of a fat person.

What surprises me even more is how "fat" people go to nutritionists who have been thin their whole lives to get recommendations for weight loss.

Isn't that exactly what you need if you have weight problems?

Listening to someone tell you that you should eat 50 grams of low-fat cheese with a salad as one of your meals.

Or recommending that you run 30-40 minutes a day when you already have knee problems?

It's absurd.

But for a person who has never been fat, all this is absolutely normal.

In the end, it's only your fault – as a fat person.

It’s your fault because you're too lazy and can't control yourself. Right?

It’s SO easy for thin people to say – more so if they are picky eaters.

Or if they struggle to eat every single day.

That happens because nothing in their being asks them to.

“It's only your fault you can't lose weight, “fatso”…

And this whole feeling of guilt gets worse by the day.

Instead of thinking that it's just one day that you gave in just once and tomorrow it will be better and you will do what needs to be done to get back on track…

…you give up completely and come to terms with the idea that you're fat and there’s nothing you can do about it.

You think it's your own fault and you just have to accept your condition.

No, it's not your fault!

There are solutions that fat people have been thinking about for years and years so that you can indeed succeed.

✅ AS FATE HAS IT...

The irony of fate is that, while I'm fat, I am the father of a little girl who doesn't enjoy eating all that much.

Before I had children, I used to think about how unlucky my children would be, inheriting both a predisposition to asthma and the appetite and mind of a fat person.

After my daughters were born and I managed to enter the role of the parent, most concepts I had about children changed.

I realized that what you do for your children and how you raise them, but also the type of education you give them, weighs much more than the genetic material you spread.

Of course, it would have been better if there were ideal conditions, but practice almost always beats theory.

Also, the only thing you can really control at the moment is what you do NOW.

I was "blessed" with an exaggerated appetite, while Ana, my eldest daughter, was "blessed" with a tiny appetite – something she probably inherited from her mother’s side.

Her appetite was so small that she could barely be breasted after her birth.

Her first months of life were a terrible stress for us as new parents because she wouldn't eat, although her mother was breastfeeding her...

We had to supplement with formula milk just so that Ana would be within parameters.

After 4 months, we switched to powdered milk because she simply didn't want to be breastfed anymore. And since then, things haven't changed much.

One day, she told me that she would be just fine without food.

"Who invented this food thing anyway?"
