My name is Jennifer. I am from the great state of Georgia. I am married with two daughters. Montana is seven years old and Madison is three. I recently found out that I am expecting again, I'm due in February.

I work part time as a nurse. I love the profession that I chose. Knowing that I have had a part in helping someone feel better makes the long hours and countless paperwork all seem worth it at the end of the day.

Ever since I was a little girl I have dreamed of writing. I have a book packed away that I started writing when I was around 10 or 11 years old. I sometimes look back at it and wonder why it has taken me so long to finally pursue what I have always wanted to do. I love to write, whether it is about personal experience, fictional, or a topic that I need to research. I love learning about new things and Helium challenges me to do so.

My family is my joy in life. I try to enjoy every moment I have with my girls whether it is just reading them a book or going to the park. I have realized that each day should be lived like it is your last, tomorrow is not promised. Life is so rushed, it's nice to stop and take time to smell the roses each day and be thankful for all that I have.

I hope that you all will enjoy what I have to share with you. Feel free to contact me anytime. My email is jencarmont@Yahoo.com

Health & Fitness > Weight Issues A look at childhood obesity statistics in the US

4 of 28

We have a major epidemic and no it's not the bird flu or small pox. We have an epidemic of obesity. The increasing numbers of childhood obesity have caused a critical public health threat. We have reached a record high and the numbers continue to climb. Parents are seemingly turning their heads to the reality of whether or not their children are overweight. This is mainly due to the fact that obese adults have also increased in numbers. As our bodies get larger, our image of what is healthy and what is not has become tainted.

The availability of processed and sugary foods, greasy foods,...
