[quote=Anonymous]My 15 year old DS has always been a 'big' kid, in which I mean tall and wide. Since he was little he always was tall for his age, and while not fat, large in terms of having a wide frame. He never had a major weight problem, it's always been pretty on-par in terms of frame for his height. In the last year, we have noticed he has not been as active yet eats noticeably more. He is gaining a noticeable belly, enough so that we have sat him down to talk about it. While we encouraged him to work on maintaining/losing, he says he does not care, and that "Guys don't have to worry about their weight, that is for girls to worry over." He refused to change his habits and/or increase his physical activity, and me and DH are pretty frustrated, and was wondering whether any of you had any suggestions to deal with this. I don't want him to struggle with his weight, and I can see him getting even larger in the next couple years.[/quote]
