[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just have to represent the giants among us; 74 pounds at 8 isn't ecessarily overwieght. My daughter is 8 and 70 pounds but she is taller than most 10 year old girls (4'7"). Just as I weigh 150 (omg!) but am a 5'11" woman. Anyway, OP, I trust you that your son is in fact overweight. [b]It seems far more likely that he's trying to put a good face on something he's unhappy about. Or is bothered by your attention and is trying to minimize it.[/b] All you can do is keep junk out of the house, model good eating, encourage exercise, and be open and kind about health. That's it. [/quote] +1. I agree with this 100%. Try and do a bit of reflection on how you have talked about this issue to him and in front of him. [/quote]
