i have a theory that obese women/men who have children is a good thing in some cases because it motivates their children to want to be healthy and not like their parents therefore starting a new generation of healthy people...my theory's source is my life because my mom is obese and it motivates me to not want to have that problem ever and look like that...what do you think?

Obesity is not a good thing for any one. For you your mother set an example you did not want to follow..The problem is not many are like you. They may get comfortable with it. Obesity usually is caused by diet and lack of exercise. Its A life style problem which will manifest itself into serious medical problems later on in your adult life. Diabetes is just one that obesity can cause. Dont go down that road. You made a wise choice many will not. which is so sad

i would have to disagree, most obese parents will pass on their dietary and exercise habits to their children. as well as negative feelings towards themselves. Everybody acts differently to their parents and i believe it comes from their relationship. a child could see an obese parent and think there is no problem with being that overweight because their parents are happy.
I'm not saying that only Skinny people should have babies. but i think that before a couple decides they want to have children they should have a good long look at their bad habits and work on them before passing them along.

Obesity is NOT a good thing for anyone of any age. Try to motivate your mom to lose weight and start watching your diet as you get older. Obesity is linked to many diseases and also to depression.

no it is not a good thing... and some or most children learn their eatting habits from their parents... like when a parent makes them clean their plate before they can leave the table.. that is what causing children to be fat..plus making them eat when they are not hungry
