[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why you buying cake of kid has no control?[/quote]

THIS

No junk food and sweets in a house with overweight people who have no self control. Just No. [/quote]

I don’t see how this is even a question. Why would you even have that stuff in the house? Remove that temptation, at least in the home. There are plenty of sweets and junk available outside the house. Why make it worse? [/quote]

If you have no self control, you are doomed for weight problems regardless.  While OP can stop buying “junk” there are surly plenty of carb heavy options for kid to overeat in the house- not just junk food.  Learning moderation and controlling impulse eating are key. [/quote]

What carb heavy options? Not including standard fruits and vegetables which I would not limit in any case.

Rice, potatoes? Baking supplies? Is a teenage boy (I believe that is what OP noted) really going to prep rice or potatoes on his own time? Bake a cake with pantry items? Most of the time- no. And yes I have two teenage boys. He’ll just go grab an apple or a cheese stick or dinner leftovers out of the fridge. Now if cake and “carb heavy” snack items are available (junk)- well yes I’m not surprised a teen boy would mindlessly choose those. He already has weight problems- don’t give him that option.
