[quote=Anonymous]Step 1: Let go of the idea that you can solve the problem by saying or not saying the right thing or modeling healthy eating. Does that make sense to you? Do you know any fat people who are just ignorant of the basics of nutrition or who blame their parents? You’re up against deeply complex genetic, metabolic and environmental forces swirling inside a social psychological situation that mostly makes things worse. I think your kid is smart enough to know their other parents struggles with this and beats himself up about it and is transferring some of that. I think a good counselor/therapist is often a good idea for sorting through complex problems so why not this one. But if you have in your head the idea that a coach will convince your spouse to follow one script or another you favor and his compliance will solve the problem, you can kiss that goodbye. This is a big hairy one. Its not that easy. [/quote]
