To be 18 again...


In You on a Diet they say that genetics plays a large role in whether or not we will be overweight later in life.
Dr. Oz says to take a look at your parents and grandparents at age 18, and take a look at what you looked like at age 18, and these images should give you insight into your ideal body type.
So, I found this picture of my Mom, circa 1959, at age 18. She was a vision of loveliness. I know my Dad was thin and trim at age 18 as well. And my Grandmothers.
But wasn't everyone relatively in good shape up until the advent of the Swanson's TV dinner??
My kids have gotten such a kick out of looking at this picture of their "Teta." It's from her yearbook, Jones Valley High School, class of '59.
