Since I was a little kid I had trouble with obesity, and controlling it. I wasn’t super active or athletic, except for in the summer when I swam for my summer league swim team, I didn’t like fruit or vegetables all that much, and I loved to eat junk food. And with my family, I didn’t feel like change was necessary in order to achieve success in life, so I didn’t really try to be physically fit,

I was born in Craven Community Hospital in New Bern North Carolina on Thursday, May 23,1991. Craven Community Hospital is the only hospital in New Bern, both of my parents born in the same hospital. New Bern is a very small city in North Carolina many people have never heard of it, a lot of my family on both sides still live there. Like most cities in North Carolina, they are retirement cities, everything moves slow down there and there isn’t much for young people to do. Due to this, my parents moved from New Bern when I was about six months old, we moved to Maryland with my grandmother, my mom’s mother. We lived with her until my parents were able to get their own place. My grandmother loved that we had

What began as involuntary movement and reflexes at birth, by 6 months have become voluntary movements. By 2 years the fine motor skills are beginning to develop. Gross motor skills involve the large muscles of the body that enable such functions as crawling, kicking, sitting upright and rolling over. It is a little harder for an infant to walk because they are top heavy and their thighs are too big to support their little feet. Most infants, starting at nine months begins to learn how to walk. Fine motor skills are necessary to engage in smaller, more precise movements, normally using the hands and fingers. Fine motor skills are different than gross motor skills which require less precision to perform. This is the child's ability to use small muscles, specifically their hands and fingers, to pick up small objects, hold a spoon, turn pages in a book, or use a crayon to draw.

I was born on December 17, 2000, during one of the hardest snowstorms that Huntsville had in about a decade. I was born in Huntsville Hospital, and I have lived in Alabama my entire life.

As a child, like many American children, I ate relatively unhealthily. For breakfast I would have sugary cereal and lunch and dinner usually followed up with something equally bad for my health. However, after each one of these meals I would dart outside to run around and play with my best friend. My high energy and active lifestyle allowed me to get away with my diet at

I remember as a child I had a poor diet. My parents did not know how to cook. We had vegetables cooked in butter, sides always come from a box, and dark meat chicken was dry. By the time I was nine, I knew how to heat up frozen food in the microwave and the oven, order pizza over the phone, and cook eggs on the stove. I was preparing my own meals. My mother never bought healthy options. In middle school, I was doing my own grocery shopping and buying the same junk food my mother used to buy. She would also stop at Wendy’s every day to buy me a frosty milkshake and a baked potato with cheese and bacon.

I remember bringing in a lot of groceries. As a got older I started to realeaze what food was being brought into the house. Most bags filled with chips, quick frozen foods, high sugar drinks and loads of desserts.
