[quote=Anonymous]1. Buy clothes that fit. Overweight people like look better in tailored clothes than squeezing into too tight clothes. 2. Go to the gym together. Wouldn't you do anything for your child? You seem to want to. So start out going on brisk walks together. Every single day. Buy him a Jillian Michaels DVD or Bob Harper DVD to work out in the basement. He needs to get started. 3. Number 2 above is important because of the study that shows fat cells develop a "memory" at certain key periods of youth and adolescence, "...the number of fat cells in both thin and obese people is more or less set during childhood and adolescence." And "... (in obese people) fat cell count will then be set for life (which) makes the cost of inaction even higher."
