[quote=Anonymous]Doctors are generally reluctant to mention weight to parents, so if your doctor said anything at all about his weight, it's an indication that it is absolutely a health issue. They'll generally soft peddle, so take what he said, and realize that the truth is even more severe. What you listed was a *lot* of food for an 8 year old, and not especially healthy (assuming the "fish fingers" you mean fried fish sticks) My 8 year old would have fish *or* pasta. And we very rarely eat desert, certainly not every day. OP, find a good dietician and make an appointment with her to just get some real solid facts and education. From there, you'll have the info you need to know if it's a real problem or if you're on a healthy track.[/quote]
