combined family weight......

ok, so today i contemplated a new health care descriptive.....combined family weight....cfw for short......this morning i chanced to work with a family that i estimate to have a cfw of 750 pounds.....between papa, mamma, and baby aged 1 year....suffice it to say that baby can neither crawl let alone walk at 1 year...given the extra poundage......and as a nutrition professional i had a difficult time deciding just where to start.......luckily......every issue i brought up....volume of milk, juice, etc......the baby's doctor had already addressed it correctly, so i could jusr nod and give confirming remarks about how 1 year old's really only need 3 cups of milk, not 10......omg.......at one point the baby was sliding off of mamma's lap.....and she couldn't contain him.......and she was shreiking for papa to grab him......but heavy baby's slide faster than heavy parents can rush in to grab......omg......and then to find out that these folks smoke......omg.......this poor child is also subject to secondhand smoke............again......i was fortunate to be parroting the doctor when i mentioned ear infections, risk of asthma......omg.......i felt so very thin after they left my office.................
