Hey all, looking for some advice here. My son Charlie is 16, and he is currently 5'10 and between 235-240 pounds. In June during his annual check up, he was 5'9 and 165 pounds. I was somewhat shocked that he put on 70 pounds in less than a year. I knew that he had put on some weight, but I was thinking more so in the realm of 15-20 pounds. Charlie almost always wore a hoodie and sweats this winter, and I guess this masked the weight gain. Doesn't help that not much of the weight went to his face.
He turned sixteen last June and got a job working at a fast food place during the summer and part time during the school year, which I think has contributed greatly to his weight gain. Now since I'm looking back and thinking about it, he's always eating something. If he's watching TV or doing work, or playing games with his friends, there's always a soda or chips or cookies surrounding... (view more)Hey all, looking for some advice here.

Now since I'm looking back and thinking about it, he's always eating something. If he's watching TV or doing work, or playing games with his friends, there's always a soda or chips or cookies surrounding him. I've noticed the occasional Wendy's or McDonald's bag in the garage trash bin, and his door dash/uber eats orders when I'm working late and have not cooked (maybe once every two weeks) have been progressively larger.
I'm not exactly sure how to handle this with him. He's sixteen and likes his own independence, and I try to give him as much independence as a sixteen year old could have. I could, and likely will, ban snacking in the house, but I have to work during the day and I can't control what he eats when I am not home. Thankfully my cooking is relatively healthy, I was a chef in a previous life, and I try to cook flavorful and nutritious meals. He also does not appear to be in terrible shape. While I do hear heavy breathing during workouts or stairs and he is slower than in the past, he doesn't shy away from playing sports or weightlifting with his friends, or going for walks and bike rides with me. Since it's been getting warmer, we've been bike riding more, and I am noticing that the extra weight is slowing him down more so than before.
I'm unsure what to do, and advice is appreciated! Thanks y'all. (view less)

How is everyone doing? Now that Christmas and the holidays are over, have you all managed to eat normally again? My son and I actually wanted to eat healthier again after Christmas. But we haven't managed to do that yet😬

Sad update. Back in early 2020 I posted here about my daughter, then 17, who was overeating and secretly binge eating. At the time she was 5 feet and 1 inch, and about 140 pounds. I described her then as “chubby”, but little did I know weight was the least of our concerns.
She had developed an eating disorder right under our noses. Bulimia - the uncontrollable compulsion and biological drive to binge eat, and then the fear of weigh gain compelling her to vomit it all back out.
She is now 80-some pounds and still struggling greatly with her eating habits, confidence, thoughts of her body, and spending so much money on ordering food delivery for this addiction.
I know this doesn’t really fit this space, but I just wanted fellow parents to be aware. If this begins with your child, act soon and catch it early so maybe you’ll have better luck reversing this devastating illness.

I need your advice, please. I ordered my foster son Kevin (age 8) a Halloween costume online and it arrived today. It's Spiderman, who Kevin really likes. He tried it on and it's too small even though I ordered husky size. In fact, the seam ripped when Kevin sat down. I called stores around here and no Spiderman costumes in stock. He is supposed to wear a costume to school tomorrow. Any suggestions or ideas?

My son is 11. He's average height, broad built and only slightly stocky. However his butt and thighs are huge. It's like any excess fat goes straight to that big, wide ass of his. We've had to buy plus-size pants now and I'm concerned this could be a precursor to future weight gain.

Weekend is almost here, and so is winter in our area. Do any of you have problems motivating for physical activity now that outside is getting cold and wet? I have tried and kind of succeeded in going for walks, doing garden stuff, washing the car and so on with the boys, but it is hard to motivate ourselves when the weather is freezing cold. What do you do in the spare time with your kids? Do you find it okay to accept more sedentary days this time of the year?

I'm writing about my 8 year old foster son, Kevin. Fall break ends tomorrow and he goes back to class. I noticed at breakfast today his school jeans are too tight. Just got him new jeans not long ago. Got him on the scale and he weighs 108. That's a 60 pound gain since he came to us at the beginning of March. My older Son Lane didn't start gaining weight until he was older. Any advice? Kevin really likes to eat and I don't don't want to deprive him.

I have 12 year old twin daughters (Phoebe and Emily) who are identical in everyway except their weight. They're short for their age (145cm). Emily is 84lbs and has always been a healthy weight, but Phoebe is 180lbs and has always been somewhat overweight, but now it's getting out of control. She has gained 50lbs in the past year. To be honest, she was last weighed 3 months ago and I think she has gained a reasonable amount since then as her clothes are starting to look snugger. I'm picking her up early from school for a Drs appointment today, so I'll find out just how much she has gained. I'm constantly finding hidden junk food wrappers. We don't by junk food in an effort to help Phoebe, but she still buys it with her allowance and overeats on the healthy options we provide. I can't get her to participate in physical activity and she doesn't seem to care about her weight. I hope the Dr will be able to talk some sense into her, but I doubt that will happen.
