My Weight as a Child: It Runs in the Family!
Body Structure and Shape
As a child, I always had a slender shape. It was due, in part, to the fact that I was a picky eater. Being a finicky eater has its advantages.
Tip #2: Only nibble when trying a new food. Don’t pile up your plate with new items. Eat only small portions.
