Try and find some cool music your kids like and ask them to do an aerobic workout with the music on. Try and eat healthy foods most of the time and don't eat fast food if you can avoid it. also try to talk to your child and make them aware that there are health risks associated with being over weight. Hope this helps!

Reply from dayna, Child's Age 13 - 12/10/05 - IP#: 72.130.4.xxx its fine she wants food. but it doesnt necessarily have to be JUNK food. try fruit, fat free yogurt, lean meats, etc. and you might want to go to a place where there are weight watcher meetings, and just go inside and they have recipe books you can buy, and u dont have to be a member to buy them. and the recipes are DELICIOUS! try it! trust me!

Reply from Matthew, Child's Age 11 - 11/09/05 - IP#: 71.132.234.xxx oh im sorry to hear that but just try to stay positive and what is it that she can do thats a good place to start and maybe she could do more of what she can do? I am sure that she will very soon just lose the weight and get out there and start talking to people and guys? im sure she will find something to motivate her. Maybe she was having a bad day when she couldnt move her leg. well i wish u both all the best
Reply from Pat, Child's Age 18 - 11/08/05 - IP#: 69.85.161.xxx I know shes over 500 because last time we went to the doctor she was 480 and that was over a year ago. Shes put alot of weight on in that time. today I tried to get her to get out of bed and she couldnt move her own leg because it was so big. i just feel so overwhelmed seeing my daughter turn into a blob of fat and she just keeps on growing I just dont want to lose her.
Reply from Jeremy, Child's Age 13 - 11/02/05 - IP#: 68.59.170.xxx Ok Megan, that is just wrong. You want them to hate their body and think they're ugly? That's just wrong. That kind of thing makes girls anorexic, bulimic, and sometimes self-harm. Besides, how do u know that she will hate what she sees?
Reply from Megan, Child's Age 15 - 11/02/05 - IP#: 216.195.21.xxx Make her look at herself in a bikini! it works... they will never want to see alll of their fat again and they will diet! my daughter WAS 13 and 250 pounds
Reply from Matthew, Child's Age 10 - 10/28/05 - IP#: 71.132.221.xxx Well i would think that you should for what she can do get her moving as much as possible or do try to cut down on the food even if she complains and just get her to exercise what she can and just give her something when she completes it just not too much then slowly increase i hope that helps and if you need anything wildernes@seeqmail.com
Reply from Jeremy, Child's Age 13 - 10/28/05 - IP#: 68.59.170.xxx Well, maybe she has a health condition like that palder willi synrdrome (iunno what its called) where they never feel full, they always feel painly hungry.
Reply from Marie, Child's Age 12 - 10/28/05 - IP#: 198.182.163.xxx If she is 18 and "cries" out for a pizza, she needs therapy seriously..you have more then an eating problem going on. Get her in to see her MD and have them refer you.
