[quote=Anonymous]My 12 YO DS is overweight. It isnt really a surprise, that kind of runs in DH's family, to have tall, 'big' men. He is otherwise healthy, and active playing baseball and football, and overall not being the 12 year old that just stares at the screen all day. We eat together every dinner and breakfast, and I try to cook fairly healthy meals for both, but I wouldn't describe my meals as being 'diet' really. Lately me and DH have been arguing over whether we should talk to DS about him going on a diet to try and control his weight. DH says that DS has no major health problems, and is active/eats fairly healthy so we should just wait and see. I think that we need to nip it in the bud before he gets to high school and gets so much busier.[/quote]
