[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, give OP a break!  She is transitioning from having a young child who only ate the food she provided to a teenager trying to make his own decisions.  What worked for her a few years ago doesn't work now.[/quote]

Fair enough.

OP you need to let go. Unless your kid is pre-diabetic or something, you have to let teenagers make their own decisions about what to eat. All you can do is educate, provide him with healthy food that he likes, take him to the doctor for checkups, and provide a good example of balanced eating. Also don't make negative comments about weight and appearance, that's just asking for your kid to get a complex and shame around weight.

How do you feel about your own body? How do you feel about your own relationship to food? Do you feel like food controls you? Are you afraid of oreos and how they might overpower your sense of self-control? Or do you think about sweets as fun indulgences to partake in every once in a while, and you feel good about your body and your health?[/quote]
