my son recently got a job with my mother in law at a kithen of a retreat center. He got the job a few months ago and since then he has gained 25 pounds. his stomach is most definetely larger now, he has gone up two waist sizes, and when we went to the beach last week i noticed fat rolls on him, he has never been like this before. i believe the cause for this is that he is constantly around food all the time at the kithen and since his grandmother works their, she allow him to eat some of the leftovers. at first i wanted him to quit, but then i realized the job was important to him. what should i do before he gains even more weight? by the way, he's 5'6 and weighs 173, he used to weigh 155 or so.
