[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm sorry but do you people really not consider your weight when making food choices? Do you not realize the amount of time and money the food industry spends trying to get you to eat salt, sugar, and fat? The crazy rise on obesity in this country (for those who don't see it please exit the bubble and read a newspaper from time to time you will hear all about it, yes even among children). It's absurd to suggest in our society that recognizing those facts and being vigilant about maintaining a healthy weight makes you have an unhealthy view about weight. It's all part and parcel of the issue I'm raising here: that every consideration is paid to making fat people feel normal when being fat is anything but normal. [/quote]

OP, if you're a prosperous middle-class mother (like most of DCUM) who has trouble maintaining her weight, you should talk to your doctor. Otherwise, just serve healthy food, don't force your child to eat if he isn't hungry, and let your son go in for active play. Discuss his weight and growth with his pediatrician and only his pediatrician.

Don't get overinvolved in weight issues; you are more likely to cause a problem than to solve one. [/quote]
