Need help for fat kid

Re: Need help for fat kid

oh wow that's interesting! so she knows all about dieting and control....maybe she was overweight herself or knows kids who were overweight that just grew out of it as they got older? I think it's been seen enough that it is possible for overweight children to shed some weight as they get older.

It's really not easy for the mothers too......either they get criticized for their kid being fat or if they try to control the diet the're considered cruel and creating a base for body image/eating disorder issues.

(I know.my comments are all over the place!)

That's true also, got to ask her whether she was chubby or not when she was a kid. She wasn't panicked until the ped said that her daughter is/almost is obese. She's scared by the fact her daughter would be a calorie counter, if you get what I mean. She doesn't want her to be complexed about her weight and she want to slowly cut on stuff she eats and increasing excercises.

That makes sense and is a good approach I think.

Dus Ka dum, how would you describe the usual daily diet/food intake of your niece? We have similar situation in our family where 2 sisters are actually petite while the 3rd daughter is definitely over weight. The kid loves muffins and gulab jamuns and stuff, so we know where the problem is.

Earlier this year, an article came up in Vogue about a woman who put her 7 year old daughter on a diet. I believe there was outrage over it…i remember reading the article and thinking it was pretty messed up cz some of her measures were really extreme.

I can understand why your SIL may not want to be that kind of mother thats in the article… (ps, whom I think seems like an insecure and pathetic excuse for a mother)

Re: Need help for fat kid

The best thing to reduce the fat is to don’t call her fat kid as you have to convince your child with better and healthy food and told her that if she becomes fatter then it will create more problems. You should involve her in different sports and take her out of home and don’t give her junk food like burger, chips and cold drinks. It will definitely help the reduce the weight of little cute girl.

Re: Need help for fat kid

I wonder what happened. Did the kid ever lose weight.

Re: Need help for fat kid

I’m sorry but this title made me spit out my juice hahahaha

Re: Need help for fat kid

Also, please don’t call her fat. Lol the title though.

I was totured desi style all through life being called fat and it really creates a complex. If the kid is young she prob just needs to get out and play more and eat less sweets.
