One of my "guilty pleasures" is a daily bowl of ice cream. Not a huge one, but a bowl in any case.
It's not the consumption, it's the portion.
I agree with your post, however, inactivity is a contributor.
I have a 3 year old. She hasn't discovered the joy of veging (sp?) in front of the TV. I just can't keep her from climbing things (trees, furniture, etc). Hope she stays as active through her adolescence.
Well now my parents made that same wish when i was born and it came true. now they spend thier days curled up in a corner with their grey hair growing longer by the day mumbling to themsleves and twitching at random intervals :-)
For whatever reason, unknown to me, I eat ice cream out of a coffee cup. It tastes better that way.
