[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't talk about dieting, you talk about diet and health. And you enlist your pediatrician to help. [/quote] THIS!!!! A person can eat healthy foods in ridiculous quantities. Then it is not healthy. You owe it to your child to bring up issues, and this is one. You get professional help because it is so touchy. You work on this without letting it interfere with your relationship. My child is in high school, and you can see in soccer (yes, travel) some of the boys who really should lose 10-15 lbs (or more). Their weight is holding them back. I bet they will look back and wish that someone had helped them improve their habits when the habits were forming. My nephew went to an active camp to lose some weight - not a camp for the obese, but a camp for active boys who needed to make some diet changes. He is much happier, and a much better athlete (he cares about being an athlete, so this mattered a lot).[/quote]
