[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. He's not overweight. He is athletic and strong looking but has love handles. At a basketball game he was playing in this weekend, the ref was joking around with him and called him, "big guy". Afterward, he told me he interpreted that as being called fat. That is not normal. Thanks for all your comments, I'm staying on top of this.[/quote] Your son is right to interpreted as being called fat. Same a being called "big girl". So it is normal he interprets it that way. Not sure what level of Basketball he plays but most kids in competitive basketball are fit. Love handles are definitely a side effect of excess body fat. I would make an appointment with a trainer at the gym and have him do a BMI test. It could help him understand ideal body weight and reach a goal. He would most likely listen to an expert before he listens to you also. Still, wanting to eat better and exercising has nothing to do with body dysmorphia. [/quote]
