This is not about me. I need help too, but it's my 7 year old brother that weighs 110 lbs and is only 4'4". He has a BMI of 28.7 and is supposed to weigh 68 lbs, that makes him 42 lbs overwieght. Is that obese??? He just eats and plays Playstation. He never does his chores. When we eat dinner he eats more than me and I'm almost twice his age!! On incident I remamber is when my dad made burgers and fries, I had one and a 1/2 and a spoonful of fries, while James, had 3 burgers, 4 spoons of fries, and 2 slices of cake after (which I didn't want). I have heard yellin some nights from the kitchen. Dad to James, I think he was down there eating fattening food. I need help, my Dad tries to make him diet, but my mom lets him eat, and eat, and eat ect. Plz Help!!!

Reply from Brian, Age 16 - 05/14/02 - IP#: 67.232.45.xxx Im in the same type of situation with my little brother too, im 16 years, 5'5, 131 pounds (I used to be 169) and my little brother is 9 years, 4'7, 133 pounds. My mom lets him eat all he wants while my dad gets mad when he eats too much. I think the only solution would be to remove all junk food from the house, but my mom will always keep buying junk food and sodas and she says it would be mean and cruel if we force my brother to stop eating. Im not even sure what to do my self...
