[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 498526"] Donna - I wish I had known I would have 3 teenage boys and not girls in advance. My next door neighbor has 3 teenage girls and her larder is bare - her dds exist on vitamin water, sushi, organic fruits and salads! My boys and my h are my downfall. H has a great metabolism (it didn't slow down until he hit 45 or so) and my kids were lucky enough to inherit it from him. PC17 is super skinny, a distance runner -- he's5'5" maybe 108 lbs but eats a lot. PC14 plays sports and and has a great metabolism. My difficult child has put on a few lbs at college but still is a big eater with a good metabolism...both pc14 & difficult child play(ed) HS football and pre-season & the season trying to put on or at least maintain their weight during two a days... Me - I have the slow, dumpling shaped metabolism of my ancestors and everyone on my side of the family is overweight. When difficult child started HS football - he was trying to gain weight and IT WAS ME WHO ACTUALLY GAINED. My servings always look minuscule next to their plates and I am still likely over eating! The fully stocked pantry & fridge are the bane of my existence. I'd sell my soul for just an occasional poptart or a handful of oreos. Life just isn't fair sometimes.:groooansmileyf: [/QUOTE]
