[quote=Anonymous]You can't bring weight up in this forum without people getting totally crazed. It is a difficult subject when it concerns our kids. I totally understand, OP. I have an overweight teen who started gaining weight slowly over time. Modeling good eating? Check. Modeling exercise? Check. Had doctor express concern? Check. Left it alone finally? Yes. It's still painful for me. However, my daughter is healthy and doing very well. I still believe she will get in better shape when she wants to. My mission for the past couple of years has been to make sure she doesn't continue to gain weight. Since she's now a teenager though, I don't have much - if any - control over what she eats. I don't care at all if she's a skinny adult but I want her to be in the healthy range and not in the 'obese' category for her health. So, keep being concerned, but don't overdo it. Continue healthy eating in your house. Kids absolutely put on weight before growth spurts, so watch for that. [/quote]
