None of us know your personal situation... But it's my belief that projecting a weight problem onto any child isn't a good thing. How many chubby kids did you know back in highschool/gradeschool that turned out to be slim & buff later in life? How many skinny "hot chicks" did you know that turned out to be total heifers? I think that in trying to fight a future weight problem, you could be planting the seeds for an eating disorder.

You do see fat kids with fat parents, all eating at McDonalds and whatnot... that's irresponsibility....your family doesn't sound anything like that, which is great.
