In this CNN article Nutrition Specialist Dr. Malina Jampolis gives some solid advice to a mom who's concerned about her 4'6", 105 pound daughter.
If you've read my blog before you know how important this issue is to me. I was not overweight as a child, but I wasn't super-skinny either. After I stopped playing college sports I became overweight and soon obese. I struggled with my relationship with my parents when we discussed my weight. I blamed them for being cruel. Now, as a mom myself, I see how complicated that relationship is and I realize they just wanted the best for me. Their reaction to my weight was more about their own concerns and less about me (as my reaction was very much childlike and reactionary).
I worry if my own children have a weight issue how will I react. I also worry that being 'too supportive' will give a child carte blache to continue in their unhealthy lifestyle. I like Dr. J's advise to this mom. If you have a child who is struggling, check it out!



Wow, nice tips thanks for this one..

It is nice to correct a child that is suffering from being overweight when younger years. We as a parent need to advice them as soon as possible because if it is tolerated, he/ she may grown it up, Nice post. It really helps me a lot

Well, anything that numbs your eyes has to have a load of bad ingredients in them. Just because these companies are trying to green up their image doesn't mean they are really moving forward. I think that the care of our babies has to be the first and foremost. Glad you shared this with so many.

don't give up. omaha is finally getting one after a grassroots petitioning like this. I, too, miss TJs from CA after locating here recently. I made a drive all the way to StLouis one time just to load up for a few months. Ready to go back but it'd be better closer.
