[quote=Anonymous]I think it's clear that he is obese. Can you not see the signs? He's 93rd percentile, he's got chubby legs and face, not to mention the belly that folds over and "covers" his swim shorts, he can't fit into clothing his age and you were feeding him portion sizes for a child two years older, and not only this but as you say an athletic child who would probably eat more as it is. Does he do anything other than swimming? If not then not enough excercise is being done. This combined with you over feeding him has caused his obesity. It can be overcome however I think the doctor was too light on you. Your child is fat and will get fatter if you don't change your ways. Sorry to sound harsh but saying things like "he does not look obese" right after stating how his belly covers his swim shorts when he sits is a bit of a juxtaposition. Parent up and get this sorted asap [/quote]
