My daughter Sara is 5 years old and is, thanks to me and my unhealthy lifestyle an overweight child. She weights 55 pounds. her weight never bothered her. this month she started kindergarten and she is constantly bullied by other kids because of her weight. Sara carries most of her weight in her belly. she has a big round belly. she mostly wears dresses because i have a difficult time to find clothes that fit her. if she wears jeans or a skirt i let her belly hang over them. the other kids in kindergarten laugh at her because she has such a big belly. when i take her to kindergarten some of the kids say: there comes fatty! or look at Sara's gut! i hate to see other kids doing this to my little girl. i'm a compulsive overeater, so you can all guess how i deal with it. and my daughter does in the same way. please tell me how i can help my little girl!

My son just came home from summer camp and I couldn't beleive my eyes. He gained 18 pounds in the 7 weeks he was gone. None of his pants button anymore! He is not upset. He says he likes his new belly. How could this happen in such a short time, and how can I get him to turn around?

Hi, I'm writing about my son Elijah. My wife and I were called to the school to talk to the school nurse and we were told what should have been obvious to us; Eli was very overweight. Somehow we had both not seen his weight problem. We had assumed he was a normal healthy child and were shocked to be told at 3ft11 and 185lbs he was obese. Yes we had problems finding clothes for him and yes we saw he had a belly but so did all his friends, though nowhere near as big, and we felt he was normal. Well he has never eaten a lot of junk food, he just eats a lot in general and is very inactive barely moving from the couch from the moment he gets home till when he goes to bed.
That was back at the beginning of June and our attempts to get him moving over the summer have failed and he has outgrown, in width, his old school uniform. We're both at a loss as where to go next.

Incentives for getting moving haven't worked and over the summer he has grown to 198lbs and his breathing (due to his asthma) and movement has gotten much more laboured. If you have any ideas to stop his outward growth we would much appreciate it. (view less)

I'm a young single mother of a 5 year old girl. My problem is that i'm a compulsive overeater. And I let my little girl sometimes eat with me. I know that this is wrong but I don't know what to do about it right now. My little girl already weights 55 pounds. And it makes me quite sad to know that she is overweight because of me. We mostly eat fast food and icecream because that is what i crave. of your my girl loves to go to McD. and stuff like that.
If anyone can help me, could you please give me your emailaddress and I will mail you back.

Hi everyone. My daughter Milly is having weight problems. She is 5'5 and 190 lbs according to the doctor that I took her to last year. She carries almost all her weight in her belly. She always has her hand on it and her back arched back like it is so heavy, like she is pregnate. I told her that I would not buy her any new clothes until she loses weight. I;m guessing she gained because she now wears her pants under her sagging belly with it peeking out under her shirt. I also bought her bikinis because I can't find one pieces to fit around her. I figured that a bikini would give her big belly ennough room. Is that ok? I never really noticed how big she was a couple of months ago, until i went into her room at night to turn of her light that she accidently left on, her shirt had rolled up in her sleep and the covers were off. She was on her side, and all of her belly fat was just hanging ... (view more)Hi everyone. My daughter Milly is having weight problems.

She was on her side, and all of her belly fat was just hanging there. I can't even hug all the way around my baby girl anymore. She seems to like being big, all her friends are a little chubby too. I'm just afraid that she will miss out on normal things with all this additional weight. At my sisters wedding her father tried dancing with her and even he could not put his arms around her belly. It was sticking out so much that they could barely dance. What should I do? (view less)

My boyfriends daughter is 8 years old and weighs 120 lbs. She lives with her mother and he gets her every other weekend. We aren't sure what to do. The doctor told the mother that she was over weight and she said he was nuts.

My DS is weighing in at 103lbs. He is 48 in tall. We have been going to the Well Child Clinic at our local Children's Hospital since May. He has gained 7 pounds since we started. They subscribe to Ellyn Satter's philosophy in feeding. I have been trying to get doctors to pay attention to this problem for 2 1/2 years. It took that long to get here. I have not given him any juice since them, don't bring junk food into the house, have tried limiting food in past, but now trying Satters way of limiting food times. I just feel at a complete lost.
Can anyone point me to get support forums besides this one, especially ones that support Satter's style.
P.S. He also got diagnosed with sleep apnea this year but hasn't gotten his machine set for the right diagnose because we weren't able to get in for another sleep study until end of August.

Hey everyone it is linda Brittany's mom, i just wanted to write and say thank you to everyone who has helped me with my daughter i appreciate the advice. I did what yall said but i cant get my daughter to get on a scale to get weighed. How do you get your kid to weigh themself? i dont want to be mean to her but she just hates being weighed and if i let her weigh herself while im not around she wont tell me her weight so i have to make her do it in front of me. And i had to buy a bigger scale because she had gotten to heavy for our old one. It is so sad my lil girl couldnt be weighed on one of the normal scales they have at the doctors office. They had to take her to another part of the office when we went where all the obese people go so she could be weighed on one of the bigger scales that would weigh her. It is so sad and i cant tell if she has lost any weight or not. coudl someone give me advice as to how i could get my daughter to just weigh herself for me? thank you very much

I have a daughter name Jasmine and she is 11 years old. She is about 5 feet 3 inches tall, which is pretty tall compared to the rest of the kids in her class. She weighs about 144 punds and she thikns she is overweight. I try to tell her that because she is really tall that she weighs like that. She doesn't believe me. I tried the Weight Calculator and they said she was obese, but I am not sure. My daughter doesn't even look fat. Her stomach doesn't even stick out a lot. She is also going through puberty, I got my period at her age, so I am also telling her she is gaining weight because of that. Please reply with any help.
