[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way to disrupt the constant hunger is to work. Teens should be busy working or volunteering so that they aren't always eating. Mine works a FT summer job and does power washing on the weekends. He eats regular meals and has no time for snacking.[/quote]

Mine could not be busier-- after school activities, two sports (one travel).  Doesn't get home from school/camp until after 3 or 4, leaves for sports most night at 6.  Still finds time to snack and overeat.  (See all threads above about how they get fed at so many of these activities).

All these parents with kids who don't have eating issues are so certain it wouldn't happen to their kids.  You are not better parents or better at helping your kids be healthy: you are lucky your kid has good genes.

If you know he’s overeating outside the home, feed him less at home.  Have absolutely zero junk available at home.  You can only control what you can control, but it sounds like you want to just throw up your hands and blame it all on bad luck or bad genes.[/quote]
