Lots of parents have agreed that their children are suffering from obesity and other resulting health problems. A lot more needs to be done by all and sundry as it concerns the issue of child obesity.
Don't think that because a child is obese he/she is dumb - many are actually smart and will understand why they should work to loose weight, if your explanation makes sense. It's a fact that the types of food kids eat help to either make them obese or normal in weight.
For example, calories and fat are in the food that children eat. You can help your child therefore by monitoring the kind of food he eats.
It will be very interesting indeed to get children involved in solving their obesity problem. Many overweight teens don't feel confident about themselves because of being overweight, but all these can change if you stick to your plan of getting rid of the excess weight for your children.
In the US, here are the childhood obesity stats: about 16 percent of children aged 6 to 19 years are either overweight or obese. The childhood obesity bmi threshold varies by age.
No one needs to teach anybody how to gain weight; for most people it comes naturally. Losing weight on the other hand is a feat that many find difficult to perform on their own. When faced with doctor's orders, they try out for a while, but many give up before they get there. Don't be like such people. It's very important to do all you can to lose weight, especially if you are concerned about your self confidence.
Losing too much weight is asking for trouble. Although excess fat is bad for your body, some amount of fat is necessary for complete body functions. Anything under the clinical limits will result in side effects that may not be too favorable.

You can shed your excess weight in a lot of ways. The gym, the spa, acupuncture, or even hypnosis. As far as you are concerned, you get to look and feel healthy. But question is - are you willing to get up and move towards losing weight? Only you can really answer that question.
