Sorta. My mother had to lose weight, she was obese and had diabetes and heart disease. I'm really proud of her. Dad has diabetes too, but hasn't lost the weight. Two of my siblings have been overweight, but not obese, and lost the weight. Two siblings had gestational diabetes. So health is on my family's mind a lot. But change is still hard.
I don't actually remember much regarding obesity when I was growing up. My mother gained weight as we grew up, and I remember thinking, of course, that I would never let that happen
. But none of us kids gave food a second thought or had a weight problem until we were all a lot older.
