You make some very good points. Being aware of your child's weight and helping them develop healthy eating, activity, hobby and motivation habits at a young age goes a long way in promoting life long good health habits. Working together with your health care provider to establish a healthy weight plan with realistic time line goals now could be helpful. Good luck on your weight loss journey. You can do it!
