  5. Confronting a weighty kids' issue

    Childhood obesity expert Dr. Joanna Dolgoff says parents of obese children would rather talk to their kids about anything &mdash; even sex or drugs &mdash; than weight. But ignoring it could set a child up for a lifetime of health problems and emotional heartache, she said. The issue of childhood obesity, and Dolgoff's work, will get a national airing Sunday as the new season of the NBC reality weight-loss show "The Biggest Loser" adds three kids &mdash; two 13-year-olds and a 16-year-old &mdash; to the cast.

  11. Stop telling me to go on a diet

    I hate the season of New Year&rsquo;s resolutions. Even if you don&rsquo;t make any pledges, or proclaim that you&rsquo;re above this annual practice, you can&rsquo;t avoid resolution-mania.

And every social media feed has everyone you know and their mom and your mom echoing the same yearly promises.
