You had it pretty good at one time but the cultural catbird seat wasn’t enough for your lot and drunk with power, you’ve clearly overplayed your hand. A whole army of them won’t help you now.
That's pretty good, who said that???
This is what is happening: you guys need to look in the mirror. You are fat and petulant and ugly and your children don't want to grow up to be like you, so they look elsewhere for models that are more attractive.
You all are basically my enormous construction-worker neighbor across the street whose belly proceeds him by a good half a yard, who comes home, waddles up the stairs, sinks down into some giant overstuffed recliner in front of a blaring tv and starts yelling at his fat wife and his fat kids and shoving junk down his gullet until he passes out in a food coma. Those kids will not want to be like him when they grow up, because he is a fat slob. He is so fat his arms won't even hang down right and has got some kind of knee problem already and he is probably my age.
I do not care what they see on the internet or what they're taught at school, parents are the biggest models for how kids make their choices. Be strong fit 50s dads your kids will look up to and want to emulate, who take them outside and put them in canoes and fishing and shit. The biggest thing is dropping the poundage, because carrying all that around wears you out.
If it's too late and your kids have already grown and begun the spiral into obesity, you can still set the model. There is nothing more inspirational than having someone you know lose a ton of weight, it makes it realistic and even competitive. But you must be the example, otherwise they are going to choose someone else.
