BBQ pork ribs, macaroni salad, and fried chicken are delicious.
But too much of it can be unhealthy.

Iâll have a heartfelt talk about their weight and health; they can only change themselves, I can only offer advice. Iâm not going to waste my time on others who arenât attempting to improve, and if they do try but continue to return to their old eating habits, Iâm out.

Good point. Of course we wanna help those we care about. But, if he doesnât care, why should you?
Donât bother sticking around watching him decline. A call to check up on him once in a while is more than enough. But walking away is also fair.
If he doesnât care, why should you?
Heâll change when heâs readyâif ever.

Eating too much can stem from various factors in a personâs life and can be equally as addictive as cigarettes, alcohol, and drug use, Encouraging people to reduce their food intake may have similar challenges as convincing people to give up any of the other substances I mentioned.
Once you reach 350 pounds or more and not in shape, it becomes uncontrollable. At this point, your body craves larger meals, making it difficult for you to stop eating after a little meal.

Yup. You gotta get to the underlying issue. Itâs about food, sure. But thereâs something else going on, and that has to be confronted as well.

I once saw a 10-year-old child at a McDonaldâs pleading and crying for more food while also resembling a Japanese sumo wrestler. How much of the blame should be placed on parents when a child is so young and overweight, and what should a parent do when their child is crying for more food?
The scene was incredibly distressing; the child was unable to help himself because his stomach needed larger meals, and the parents continued to feed him in an attempt to alleviate his suffering. However, this was exacerbating his obesity.

Leave McDonalds, for starters. Haha.
All of it. A 10-year old is too young to be blamed for his own eating habits. His parents are to blame. Before they help that child, I say they gotta help themselves. They pass their bad habits onto that poor boy.
And at that point, yes, the boyâs stomach is larger; but heâs also probably eating for fun. He likes the feeling in his brain that the food gives him.
One solution is to put X-lax in his milkshake. Maybe not after the first time, but certainly after the second time he craps his pants, he wonât want another milkshake for a long time. Haha.

At ten years old, they should be managing the situation and seeking assistance for him before it becomes too late.

If a kid is in this kind of state, some serious changes gotta happen. You gotta whip that kid into shape! Major Payne style!!
Not overnight, but slowly and gradually.
Doing a 180 in a rush only causes anxiety. But the whole household, little by little, has to change. And, no, the kid isnât gonna be happy about it. Not at all.
Eventually, heâll be grateful. But not in the beginning.
Constructive changes suck. But not as much as doing nothing.
In my opinion, a healthy diet starts at tje grocery store. If you donât bring junk food home, you wonât be tempted to eat it.
Instead of a large pack of oreos, bring home a couple small packs.
Six oreos in the house is much healthier than the family pack.
Start swapping out junk snacks for healthier options. Start keeping fruit in the house.
If a kid is hungry, all the cookies are gone, and the only options left are bananas and grapes. Guess whoâs about to eat some grapes?
And them parents gotta remember that kid ainât the boss of the house! Get that boyâs attitude in check!

Iâm not old (50), but my parents follow traditional values, where no truly meant no. Thereâs no chance my parents would have allowed any of us to reach such a size.
You would receive a limited portion of treats that was given to you, and you better reconsider before attempting to sneak and consume extra desserts.
Additionally, if you went to bed hungry because you didnât like the food prepared for you that night, you are responsible for that, and you shouldnât request anything other than what was prepared for you that evening. Since you chose not to eat, you wonât receive any desserts.
Naturally, things begin to shift when you reach about 14 years old; you gained a bit more independence.
When it comes to being disrespectful and sassy, a little of this taught me respect early on,

Certainly, we live in a different era and times have changed. Perhaps some parents went too far, or children became more sensitive, or maybe both. Who knows? If I had children, I wouldnât spank them; instead, I would look for other methods of discipline.

I see this more than ever; children are running the home at a very young age, 12 and under. Thatâs the time and period we live in.
One thing is for sure: if my child were becoming too large, I would do something. The first step will be the measures you mentioned, and I will see if that makes a difference.

Haha. I have no problem with spanking. But I know some folks prefer other methods of discipline.
Regardless of your method of choice, if that boy doesnât eat his veggies, youâd better believe heâs not getting any dessert.

If you begin teaching / spanking them early, they will understand that you mean business. By the age of 10, they ought to show respect; if they donât, my father used to say, "I brought you into this world, and I can take your as out of it. "
