  • I think it's both a physical and a psychological issue with him ...  moreI think it's both a physical and a psychological issue with him because when he was a kid there had to be a reason why he was overweight but his sister and his parents weren't but I could see why it would become psychological from his point of view.  His mom tried to make him special low-fat meals that were different from what his parents and sister were served at the dinner table so I could see where that would cause resentment.  He was also excluded from parties and things that had pizza and cake so he was on the outside looking in at the regular weight kids having a pizza party or having cake while those were things that he had to enjoy in secret.I guess being sent to weight loss camp every summer also had an effect him.  He says he dreaded summer vacation when he was a kid so yeah, if I were him I'd have the exact same issues about weight.  less

We try not to mention it but it's kind of hard to stay quiet about it when he says that drinking diet soda's going to help.  It's kind of a hard subject to bring up because he'd just see a family intervention as bullying him.  He's not interested in advice even though we know what worked for other people but it's all something he's heard before.I know it's hard for him because neither of his parents nor his sister were overweight but his parents sent him to weight loss camp every year which probably made him negative about losing weight.  less
