[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think it's really acceptable to let your son get that fat I'm afraid. They have such a high metabolism when they're at that age it can't be just what he's eating 'trying to get fat' there must something to do with how you were feeding him and treating him - how long has he been overweight? Is this weight increase recent? Has he ever been skinny?[/quote]

Do not listen to this poster.  Not all kids rub around like crazy.  Our son loves eating and hates sports.  We have to resort to making him exercise and watching his food and it is very difficult.

I actually think you need to talk to him about why he wants to fat.  It is possible, although unlikely this is in response to someone inappropriately touching him.[/quote]

Not that pp but it is common for people who have been sexually abused to want weight on themselves as "protection." I know, I am one of those people.

To me, it just sounds like he likes being larger. He can be finny, torment his sibling, and annoy op. Ask him why he wants to be larger op. Is he having issues with peers at school? Is this a way to distract them? Does he feel more in charge when he is larger?
What was your reasoning behind that??[/quote][/quote]
