ok. i have to say something and its not ur childrens fault that they might be overweight!!! im not saying that its the parents fault but you parents can solve this problem ( not sayign that its easy to though) i know im only 13 but just hear me out. overweight children go threw alot like being made fun of espiecally from other kids.So be4 you start putting your children on diets why dotn you sit down and talk to them 1st and see how they feel about all of this.It would make everythign a hole lot better. <3 chel!

I dont know if I agree with you. Yeah, it is important to include the children in making plans, but when they are overweight, and are having medical problems, its important that parents do whats best for the child, even if they dont like it.

i agree with you both also, were made fun of at school (not always) but it would be nice if parents really would ahve a private talk with the child/teen to see if this is what they want, instaed of doing other things that may hurt iordeepen their overweight depression like that happened to me , dont push it in their face, be kind and ask, ahve a talk
