[quote=Anonymous]OP, your kid might be a little young for this but I was a pretty chunky kid and my parents found a dietitian with a background with kids. The discussion was about nutrition and feeling good more than calories. But I was probably 11ish then? By that age I was becoming pretty aware of my size v my peers and so I didn’t want to be the “big girl”. I was also taller than most of my class and I think with kids sometimes weight gain just comes before a growth spurt. By junior high and high school I was normal weight. I’m now 44 and a size 4. Being chunky now doesn’t mean a future of obesity… but, for better or worse, being fat didn’t use to be acceptable like it is now[/quote]
