From Amy, child's age 18

I read the message put on by the person who had the research thing to do. I do agree that just because you loose weight will not help the teasing at school. I have done a lot of research on weight problems. I have found web sites that say it is O.K to be over weight or "pleasntly Plump" as they like to call it. I am happy that people can learn to love their body no matter what. But the fact is that this is not a healthy way to live. Your child may be O.K now. Most of your problems are clothes, teasing, and friends. When their bodies are done growing at 17 or 18 the real adult problems set in. I was overweight my whole childhood till I started getting sick a lot. A doctor said "you know, a 5 lb. loss would help" That 5 turned into 25. I am hardly Kate Moss, but I am happier, healthly, and I sleep better, and have more energy. please, don't over look this problem. There is nothing wrong with saying your child has a problem with something. This is not a physical issue, this is also a pschological issue with children. And when they loss some weight, they will know they can do anything they want in life if they beat the hardest battle. Being over-weight
