Obese children and husband
Hi,
I am a mother of 2 kids. One is 5 yr old girl and other one is 1 yr old bab boy. Both my kids are obese. They have healthy eating habits . Both of them were breastfed . Whenever I take them to doctor they are asking if my kids have thyroid. They do not have thyroid problem. I am pretty much sure that it's because of the genes. My husband is obese and have been off charts since childhood and same with me however I reduced after my kids were born. I am really worried about this.

First of all stop worrying.
Genetics is like a loaded gun but bad environment pulls the trigger. You can switch off the manifestation of genes by changing the environment.
In most cases, changing the environment means changing the diet and lifestyle.
