I went to Italy this summer. Not once did I see a coke machine. Not once did I see a place that sold candies. I dont even think they have herd of chips. What I'm trying to say, is that here in America we are always bizzy so we need food on the go. Thats why we eat CRAP. Thats why 2/3rds of our population is overweight. Many Americans dont have the time to make nice meals for there family. So if your wondering why You and your child is overweight, look at what you eat and what you do. And change it NOW.

My daughter is 12 yrs old and is about 5'3 and 135lbs. She wears a size 9 juniors whichis pretty big. I bought her a pair of pants last year for this year but she can't button them. I have found candy wrappers in her room. LAst year she weighed about 100 pounds so it is a drastic gain. Her belly is getting really large and she is starting to get a turkey neck. How can I help her?

I don't know where to start. I work full time. After divorce from my former husband i had to work again. My daughter was after school alone at home. I gave her money so she could get something to eat. In those two years she got fatter and fatter. I didn't realize how fat she got. Then i saw her in underwear, saw her huge belly, her fat thighs, and i was shocked. And i felt guilty because i hadn't have the time to cook for her and to give her healthy food. so what can i do? I still have to work full time, it's hard for me, too.

Hello. My daughter is 13 and weighs 175 lbs. She went to Weight Watchers nad in 2 weeks she lost 7.5 lbs. Then she slowly gained it back after abut a yr and a half, she realized this was getting her nowhere. She then weighed the same as she started (I suppose it was god that she hadn't gained any--I don't know). So, now this is about half a yesr later and she has already gained 13 lbs. And (she and i both have hypothyroidism and take a pill everyday for it) lately her school owrk has been going down, she has a lack of energy, she seems sort of distnat and far of, and She eats non-stop. I dont know what to do about. If anyone has gone through this or can help me, please do! Thank you.

I really don't know what to do anymore. I was brought up in a very poor family where we hardly had any food. I managed to get out and get a good job and I vowed that my daughter would have everything she wanted. She always had big meals and we would celebrate everything with a big slap up meal. I've put on a little weight over the years (well 50lbs to be exact which has put me at 180lbs) but I'm worried sick about my daughter. I don't know how I didn't realise she'd got so big. She's having problems walking around and ends up panting and red faced after she walked up the stairs. I'd guess she was around 450/500lbs at 5'4. I fear her life is in danger. The last straw was actually seeing her in her underwear last night. Her belly hangs half way down her legs and she has huge rolls of fat on her thighs.

I've begged her to stop eating but she gets angry and crys. I've tried to get her to exercise but even on a slow walk she's dripping in sweat and unable to go on after about 100 feet. PLEASE HELP ME.

Our daughter is 5'7" and 230 pounds. She is VERY active in sports (currently in her 6th year of playing in 2 basketball leagues simultaneously, she has played 2 years of starting offensive & defensive line boys football and she pitches softball). She has been menstrating for almost 2 years now and wears a size 11 womans shoe - so she is a bigger girl- but I can't lie to myself or her anymore...she's extremely overweight too. A few times I've caught her sneaking food and found 3 candy wrappers in her room. I've yelled, threatened, offered to pay her for each pound she looses and even enrolled her in an overweight kids program. I just don't know what to do anymore. She agrees with me but she continues to just eat more and get heavier and heavier. She's such a pretty girl and last week for the first time a boy at school really said a mean thing to her.

She gets straight A's; but her self esteem is diminishing. She will only wear large t-shirts and jeans to hide her "real shape". Even the team t-shirts she wears for sports she always requests a larger size. I don't want her to gain anymore weight and want her to loose - but she needs to motivate herself but in the meantime she puts on more weight! Any suggestions... (view less)

I really don't know what to do, or what to say. I just spoke to my son, he's 14, is 5'8 and weighs more than 250. Last year the same time he was "only" at 180, which was also to much for him. He gained around 70 lbs in one year and is really fat now. I've told him again and again that he should stop eating that much. I try to give him only small portions, but he buys himself sweets and fast food everyday. I can't do anything to stop that.Today I heard from one of his friends, who is also very overweight, that they have a competition - who has the biggest belly among those friends. There are two or three more, all of them overweight. I couldn't say anything! I really don't know what to say to my son. So I asked him about this "competition". He just said: Mom, look at me, I'm winning! Look at this big belly!I think it's awful. What to do? Please help!

You guys, like I relize that your kids are over, but don't force them to do things eventually we figure it out, if you to take them to a Doc. other wise leave them alone they don't wanna be told what to do, and maybe buy healthy food and say if you wanna live under this roof you will obey by my eating habits, I mean if they wanna live in a box let them, Its there problem not yours, so just tell them and be mean if you have to, if its a problem do something about it, I mean don't be afrid these are your kids and your letting them control you, your the parents don't be shy to your kid DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!

I raise my seven year old daughter Lisa alone. She always has been overweight but I never knew how much she weighted because I always knew it was to much and I didn't want her to suffer by knowing her weight. I'm also overweight, in fact I'm obese, and weight a bit over 280 pounds. On Friday we went to the doctors office. He demanded that Lisa should be weighted. I was shocked at the outcome: Lisa already weights 152 pounds. Lisa was also shocked when the doctor said that she weights so much and wants her to loose weight. That evening she said to me that she thinks she is really fat and that she feels ashamed about it. She has a big flabby belly that hangs way down over her waistband. I'm now afraid that she will become obese just like me. What can I do?

I am divorced and I live in California. My daughter and ex-wife live in New York. My ex-wife feeds her like no tommarow and ignores the fact that she is totally unhealthy. From June till August she was staying with me. When I first picked her up in June, I could not believe my eyes! She had gained so much weight since I last saw her (which was a little less than a year ago). Her stomch was buldging over her jeans and her arms had stretch marks on them. Of course, I didn't say anything, but it hurt me so much to see her so unhealthy. When I needed to send her to a local day camp and they needed her medical form I called my ex-wife to send it up.

Later that week when my (new) wife took her to get jeans at gap, she had trouble finding some, because the biggest size they had (16) did not fit her and they eventually had to go to a Lane Bryant. Is there any way I can help this issue thousands miles away? I've discussed this with my ex-wife, but she weighs proably over 400 pounds so 240 doesn't seem like much. She also got really offended when I told her that Jenny looked un-healthy. Thanks in advanced! --Mark (view less)

Hey Everyone. I have three sons. One is 17, on 14 and the other 10. All three are overweight, if not obese. I don't know what to do. My oldest, Kyle is 18 and is 6'0" and weighs 288 lbs. He has been fat his whole life. A years ago, for his freshman year, he weighed 310 lbs and was 5'8". I rationed the junk food and put him on a diet, and he lost 40 lbs over the next three years. Then in senior year, he started going to parties and distancing himself from me. He has gained 18 lbs since Septemeber. His weight problem started at age 6, when he broke his leg. He was in a cast for months, and his weight had gone up and bad eating habits had been ingrained. His weight has just climbed ever since. His stomach has a sag over his size 44 pants, and his lovehandles redefine 'spare tire'. My second oldest is 14 and weighs 257 lbs. He is 5'6". His weight problem has only been recent. He was at a...

He was at a healthy weight until he tried out for football. He wanted to be a linebacker and the coach wanted him to gain 30 lbs. He did gain thirty pounds, plus 100 more! He wears size 38 pants and his stomach is gigantic. Last weekend he went for a final swim with his friends before the winter and I chaperoned. I almost fainted when he took off his shirt. Chunks of fat were just hanging and jiggling all over his body. He is substancially larger than all of his friends, and they call him Moby. Lastly, my youngest son is 10. His weight is pushing 150 lbs, and he is rather short, just 5 feet. Most of his excess weight is stored in his abdomen, which bulges out of all his shirts and over his pants. He eats as much as his 14 year old brother, which is bad, and knows the tv line up like the palm of his hand. He cannot go an hour without eating something, and when he attempts excersise, he tires out and huffs and puffs in a few minutes, so he returns to the couch. Please help me. I know the 18 y/o is almost out of my hands, but I need help! We are a rich family (I'm a judge), and the boys have every kind of food on hand. There is a McDonalds down the street, and when they can walk, they go pig out on deep fried potatoes. Neither my wife or me are overweight. Help!!! (view less)

My child has been overweight since he was about 9, but lately i think its been getting out of hand. Let me start from the beggining... A few years ago, he had ballooned up to about 260 and he was about 12, so we decided that it would be in his best interest to go to Weight Watchers. He went, and lost about 40 pounds in a few months, at the time he had also been involved in football, which got him a lot of exercise. After he lost all his weight, he stopped going to weight watchers, and the football season ended. All was good for a little while, then the next year came along and he didnt want to join football. All he did was sit on his butt, watch tv, eat, and get fatter. He gained all of his weight back, plus more. At 15, he has reached his top weight of 310 pounds. This is getting out of hand. He huffs and puffs up the stairs and cant do anythign physical for very long. I NEED HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM!! IF YOU CAN HELP, PLEASE EMAIL ME AT TROMAN2345@yahoo.com
