From Molly, child's age 0

If your child is overweight dont force them into losing weight. my mom never really said anything to make me lose weight; i just happened to go on the scale at school when we were getting weighed for gym class and i was so embarassed that i weighed 170 lb. and i had gained 4lbs by next time i weighed myself and decided i needed to do something if i didnt want to end up like my dad. He died of a heart attack at the age of 46. My mom has supported me a little, she buys me the food i want, but at the same time she makes it harder by still buying junk food for the rest of the family and herself. She is also trying to lose weight, but having no success, but i know that's because she's not eating nearly enough carbs. If you're worried about not burning carbs, eat them in the morning, and lighter foods at night. then you'll actually use them for the energy. I come from a family of overweight people, all my aunts except 1 is overweight, but she recently lost weight too. and my mom, stepdad, stepsister, and sister are overweight. my grandparents are all overweight also. so its not impossible i used to be 5'1" 174.4 lbs. and now i'm 5'1" and 122.8lbs. i now weigh 10lbs. less than i did when i was 11 and i'm 7 inches taller. it took me about 7 months for those 51.6 lbs. to come off, but i im not done yet and i want to lose about 18 more lbs. if you really want your kids to lose weight take them to the doctor and have them talk to your child, trust me that was my breaking point.
