Lisa,
I watched the show as well and if I had the time that day I would have written a similar blog. I was hoping there was going to be a problem with the kids because I could not understand how a parent could watch their child’s life get shorter and shorter with each meal. People need to educate themselves and as others said, work on their own self esteem and body image. It’s not about being super skinny,it’s about being healthy. A three years old should not be a pre-diabetic with only a few meals away from having type 2 Diabetis. Grrr… OK there goes my rant. Thanks for writing about this growing subject.

i caught a few minutes of the show and it made me want to cry. I weighed 186 lbs in the 5th grade! My parents were not overweight but were much more active than i was. My wake up call for my weight was that I had a little girl and DID NOT want to be a “fat family”…you know, fat mom with fat kids. Anyway, I joined WW and learned about nutrition for the first time in my life. I am now back to my 5th grade weight and still going down!

I hope those parents get some help and change their lives so that their children will have healthy examples and support!

It is so sad to see children of any age overweight especially when the parents are not aware that providing soda, juice and junk food combined with no exercise is a major reason why the kids are overweight. My son went through a chubby phase and I was very concerned as my husband had struggled with weight issues. I kept my son involved in sports year round and worked to educate him about how companies try to trick you. He learned how to read food labels and find the trick and make better choices. I am proud to say that at age 15 he is now over 6 feet tall, in great shape without any weight issues and loves freshman football.

Some parents are in denial when it comes to their child's weight. I have a few friends who have overweight kids and the parents are normal size. asithis last blog post..slotMusic – Don’t Quit Fitness Bundle Review

I was an overweight child, and had to relearn how to take care of myself as an adult. Now, as a parent, I am very conscious of what my child eats. I don’t mind the occasional french fry, but I’m not afraid to tell her no and make sure she is an oatmeal and fruit eater! Soy beans and apples are snacks, not chips and cookies (even if they’re animal cookies, I try to avoid them). I hope she learns better habits than I did. I can’t imagine being an overweight parent and perpetuating the same behaviors in my child. Maybe it’s guilt that keeps them from saying no. After all, they (we, because this is me sometimes) haven’t learned how to say no to themselves. Regardless, we have to do better for our children.

First off, I despise Dr Phil. “Get real!” oh wait, all my psychological hang ups are gone now, with those two words alone!!! Also, what kind of freak show is this to show off obese kids as in a circus? Grrrrr…. and he is no medical Dr, what kind of god given advise is he going to dispense? Okay, done now.

I am with you, total parental fault. Kids are a challenge when it comes to food, especially with the amount of advertisement for junk, but still, you have to keep trying. I have the opposite problem, my oldest eats really well and of everything and look extremely thin… visible ribs in the back thin….

my 7 yr old is overweight and has been since about 3 1/2. Since I lived in denial about myself for so long, I did the same for him……yet it bothered me more that he was overweight than I was. Since changing our eating habits he has lost 8 lbs but has more to lose. Our doc said to focus more on maintaining as he grows. We are incorporating more exercise and really watching sugar and portions while adding more fruits and veggies.
