[quote=Anonymous]You are the parent! Throw out the electronics, take the kid to the park and make him run. I have my child run fields, hike and run hills a few times a week. No eating after 7. No junk food. Throw out boxed sugary crap and fill the fridge with fruits and veggies. I have mine prepped and put into these clear crisper containers in the fridge and the kids get what they want from them. I do not allow juice or soda. Water only unless oat milk is used for a smoothie. No Goldfish, Cheezits and other garbage. Give him 3 solid meals. No school lunch garbage either. I prep full cooked and balanced meals for my 3 kids so you can too. Chili chicken fettuccine Alfredo, fruit, veggies and seaweed or a small roll is good. My middle girl is a grazer and likes her Bento box full of fruits, veggies and a pita to fill it with in addition to sliced chicken breasts. For my little K son, I will give him homemade French toast sticks with fruit and a cuke. He likes carbs food but it is minimal and he mostly gets fruit and veggies or a Schwarma kebab with chickpea salad. If you change and throw out the bad food and go out with him and exercise everyday the weight will drop and come off. I used to have a very high stress job and we became bloated, junky and stressed but I had to re-examine my life and make serious changes and now I am very happy with our healthy family. [/quote]
