[quote=Anonymous]I suspect OP weighs less than her growing son and is afraid that his body reflects poorly on her. My mom was like this when I was 5'4 and 120 pounds as a young teen - she was 5'4 and 105. She thought I was fat and would just get fatter and fatter. (At 50, I am 5'4 and 115 pounds, but thanks for screwing up my body image, Mom!) If your son is self-conscious about how his body looks right now, talk to him about how puberty looks different on everyone - he is not the only 11 year old with a pudgy middle and its perfectly normal for him to be built like that. Don't play muffin police or cut off food. Make sure his brothers arent bullying him over it. My kids ate more as tweens before their big growth spurts than they did as teens.[/quote]
