^yes my husband goes to the gym regularly and always been very sporty person.
I'm sorry but I don't agree that women with kids or jobs who don't have time for gym have any excuse not to be fit and healthy, also about the unhealthy eating topic, facts show that majority who suffer from eating disorders are teenage girls not housewives or working women.
I did say that about size 4 but my husband thinks even size 8 is too skinny, I don't think we are like your cousin and his wife. lol
Good to know because they are just scary and your posts about wanting to be a size 4 and saying he motivates you by saying "you don't want to look like so and so", sounded the same kind of scenario.
So how are women with kids supposed to make time for regular exercise? I think I remember you saying that you'd like someone to be able to take care of the kids for an hour so you can go for your run. I know you homeschool but most mothers I know with more than 2 young children have plenty of stuff to do during the few hours the kids the out of the house too.
And I wasn't talking about stats. Most mothers are more interested in eating well (whether or not they can keep slim) so they can look after everyone. In my experience, the ones who are super slim, just don't eat and go around popping pills for their headaches. Not your approach of eating healthy and exercising... that's too much work for most.
