Have any of you ever been afraid that your children will be obese?

My husband & I have both had RNY--and both lost over 200 pounds! I am scared to death of my children (have a 8 month old and another on the way) being overweight or obese! I do not allow my 8 month old to have any table food--but ofcourse everyone wants to feed it to her and make me feel bad for not shoving donuts/cookies/hotfudge in her face! Some lady jumped on me at wal-mart because I said she couldn't have the free icecream sample? Anyone else feel the same way as me? Also my husband's older children are all overweight and his oldest daughter (age 27) just had the surgery also.... Is it wrong of me to be cautious? Will my kids be overweight no matter what I do? Does anyone have any suggestions?
