[quote=Anonymous]You know, I always ran a bit overweight like that. I'm female, so it's a bit different. But there is a lot of pressure on men these days to have that buff body, too. For all you know he was crushing on a girl or something, and she picked another guy, maybe one who was built nicer. May have nothing to do with looks, but teens see what they want to see. He's old enough now he could get a personal trainer at a gym and learn more about fitness and nutrition. Adding some muscle will help burn those calories more efficiently. But if you go this route, choose a gym/trainer wisely. Not some obsessed weirdo, but someone who is really focused on overall health and nutrition, in a way that's appropriate for a teen. It's only a hunch, but if you see ice cream as a treat/reward for being down, that could be a big part of the problem. Food shouldn't be a reward. That's setting someone with weight issues up for lifetime failure. [/quote]
