[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's right at border of obese and recently has decided to be serious about losing weight by eating less and skipping a meal once or twice a week - all of which his own ideas, but is frustrated by lack of progress. Of course us parents (and his Drs too) preach healthy eating forever but I want to make sure he is getting directions and guidance from a health professional this time. He just turned 13 last month.

We're in Arlington so looking for someone in NoVa. I could also ask his ped but they're in DC so not necessarily knowledgeable about NoVa.[/quote]

How has a 13yr old gotten obese? He can't buy his own groceries or cook his own meals.[/quote]

NP here and I have healthy weight kids but i can tell you. I gained a lot of weight at that age. My mom cooked healthy meals. We didn’t have a lot of junk food in the house.  I went to friends houses and ate junk. Went to the mall and ate junk. Bought junky stuff in school. Didn’t exercise as much as I should have.  I also have friends with kids who do feed their kids healthy foods and the kids play on sports teams but they are still overweight. By adolescence, it’s not always the parents fault. [/quote]
