My sil’s daughter is almost 7 years old, she’s 4ft1 and 35 kg ! When she was about 3-4yo her mom would feed her everything, and she’s got fatter day by day. Now the pediatrician told that she needs to lose weight as soon as possible.
What should she do to help lose that extra weight ? The kid is superduper lazy, and a hungry ogre.
Re: Need help for fat kid
The first thing would be to perhaps not call her ‘a fat kid’! 
Re: Need help for fat kid
stop feeding her maybe?
that would be a good start i think.
Re: Need help for fat kid
enroll her in some kind of sports ... i'd suggest swimming since its summer and let her eat as much as she wants to as long as she is eating healthy as in snack veggies lik ebaby carrots or celery instead of burgers and pizza and nuts and dried fruits instead of chips and wat not and she should start losing weight
Re: Need help for fat kid
What a sweet aunt you are! 
Fat kids are harder to kidnap. Juust think about it.

^:hehe:
i agree with Libran…
Re: Need help for fat kid
calling her a fat kid is gonna lead to low self esteem. Maybe thats the root of the problem
Re: Need help for fat kid
take her outdoors stop feeding her junk food and you shouldn't call your niece fat :P
Re: Need help for fat kid
is “fat” wrose than lazy/ogre? 
@ OP: I really wonder how you treat her kid to her face if this is how you talk about her?
Anyway, for a child to lose weight, it’s pretty simple: not eat as much, exercise more, eat more healthy food (Fruits and veggies)
the only “difficult” thing will be that the family will have to adopt new habits…even if they’re not fat, chances are, if she’s feeding the kid junk, everyone else may be eating junk too. and because putting the kid on a diet while everyone else gets to eat “normal” food really won’t work.
Re: Need help for fat kid
This is sooo common in my family!
Why do mothers have this need to feed the kids soo much when they are kids and then they think the kid themselves have started to eat so much! One of the mothers in my family "force" feed her son 2 (big) rotis / 3 deeppan family pizza slices. A kid of 4 years is not suppose to eat this much imo!! and he doesnt even want, but he HAS TO! WTH
Re: Need help for fat kid
^ wow… that sucks. 
My parents blamed me for always wanting cake/heavy foods and that I’d throw tantrums if I didn’t get it. 
Re: Need help for fat kid
^I dont think they are right to blame you. Parents are the once with the responsiblities. It irks me so much when you hear a mother telling her pre-teen daughter "uff Allah itna na khaya karo, moti kitni ho" when the same mother has been stuffing the kids face with food earlier on. How is the kid going to control now?!
For this I love my mums method. She never forced us to eat anything. She cooked the food, if we wanted to eat we could and if not, too bad.
Re: Need help for fat kid
I don't call her fat infront of her, but I can't deny that she's one big fat kid !
Can't blame that poor baby either, but it's the result of her momma's desi laad pyaar.
For her if a kid cries, it's because he's hungry. Like WT* ?
Her little sisters are active, but she's lazy
And ever since the ped said she needs to lose weight, her mother is puttin pressure on her. Thanks for the advice though ! I'd share 'em with my sil.
Re: Need help for fat kid
Just curious, did no one ever stop the mother from overfeeding her?
You aint’ seen fat til you seen:

Re: Need help for fat kid
We did try but she'd never listen to us. It was something like a bottle every hour for a 3 months old baby. She'd take a sheet and place the baby on it, give her lots of food and let her eat and enjoy with that. Trust me, it was gross! And when we'd try to explain her she'd brush us away with 'me maa hoon ke ap ho ? mujhse pata hai ishe bhok lag rhi hai'
Re: Need help for fat kid
She's chuby but not to that^ extent
Re: Need help for fat kid
Is the mother fat?
Ok ok I don't know why I am so nosy. but that really sucks. Esp in today's age, when information on healthy eating is easily available, and the health effects of being overweight/obese are so common....it's shocking to know some parents deliberately stuff and fatten their kids.
Re: Need help for fat kid
Ironically the mother is fit so are her 3 other kids. She controls her diet but not her daughter's. She said that the littles 1 didn't crave for anything so she didn't force them. But this one was harder to control.
Re: Need help for fat kid
Yes please dont call the fat kid, fat kid.
sorry people, I am just joking
Re: Need help for fat kid
Okay fine I won't call her fat from now cos I think that moti sounds better :D
