Hello,I know I am new to the board but I have been reading it for a long time.I don't understand why people get on this board and try to hurt people.We are here because we need help for our children.Perhaps suggestions and encouragment from others in our situation.Personally speaking I'll be the first to admit my childs obesity problem is my fault.I buy the food and at the age of seven its my responsibilty for his nutrition.I too am overweight and feel so guilty.My point is sometimes WE dig a hole for ourselves and our children. Before we know it,were in trouble.All we can do is love them unconditionally and help them.

you are an extremely intelligent person. The only problem that sometimes unconditional love can be the cause of you enabling them. Don't blame yourself, even though leading by example is very important. For more advice, please ask me questions in this forum. I have gone through it all and i am writing a book on conquering obesity and living a healthy lifestyle right now. Thanks so much
