about obese children

[Guest guest]

it is very hard to see a overweight child. i was a skinny one, but as

adult i ballooned up. my family members are overweight. most by like 60

lbs. my sister has 2 kids. how she deals with it, her son has a belly,

but loses it in sports in school.. her daughter 6 is of course thin,

but growing up this may change. she makes her kids do healthy choices.

yea they get fast foods n stuff,, but the girl when she goes she gets

the ornges in her happy meal, not fries, n she ask for them. if her

kids eat some sort of sweets after dinner n want a snack,, she gives

them fruits. teaching them healthy choices. my older niece 16 is

getting heavy. n her self esteem is not to good. she tries to be

confident in herself but points out she s ugly,, n is not.. i would

love to talk to her about it n say to her she needs to try something,,

but how do i ??? it s hard.. but waiting till its out of control like

mine got to be is not good at all.. no omne ever talked to me about it

n now i wish they would of.. getting kids away from tv n outside

playing is good. any ways i want to talk to my niece but dont know

how.. thxs donna
