[quote=Anonymous]Johnny, my 8 year old son has always been quite chunky, and although I'm ashamed of it, I know that he's overweight. I try to feed him healthily as best I can but he always seems to complain about being hungry and always wants more food - seconds etc. However, he must be conscious of his weight because he never lets me weigh him or do anything along those lines such as measure his waist for trousers etc. This troubles me because I am concerned that he is becoming obese and I feel I need to know so I can do something about it. Of course he won't let me weigh him so I can't check his BMI and all I have to go by of his waist is the school trousers that he fits into (which is age 11-12), and from what I have seen overall. Can anyone help or suggest anything - I would be happy to attach a photo of him (obviously with his head cropped out for security and privacy reasons) to see what people think and whether he is likely to be obese. I just feel a little bit stuck:([/quote]
