Quit buying the bad stuff. You’ve got to put your foot down and help him by giving him some healthy alternatives. Obese children turn into super obese adults who have many problems health wise and socially. I’m sure you don’t want that for him.

Possibly doesn’t need a diet at all. When my son was 11 he was quite chunky, and by the time he was 15 and solidly through his adolescent height change, he was tall, slim, and strong. No change in diet required. Some kids just grow out before they grow up.

Dont use the term diet around him. Dont bring anything home that he shouldnt be eating. Only offer options that will help him lose weight without talking about it.

Please don’t do that to him. Don’t tell him he’s on a diet. He needs to feel accepted for who he is no matter what, specially by his mother. Teach him self love, self care, which includes making the right food choices, taking care of himself, his room, his things, being responsible at school, speaking kindly to himself, generating good thoughts. Teach him to love himself and the rest will follow. Kindly, An overweight kid on diets from age 11 whose self worth and self esteem were destroyed.

Unplug the wifi, take the game, take the cell phone and MAKE HIM get out and exercise! And to motivate him, you do it with him whether you need to or not. Stop buying junk food! If he gets mad then tough 💩 put your foot down, you’re the parent and he’s the child and that’s final! 🙂

Oh man take it back…your 11 year old child is good don’t do this lady

Ugh I hate 99% of these responses. The fat phobia is real.

An entire rotisserie chicken is 5 dollars. Veggies are so cheap. Even fries and nuggets or anything of the sort is better for you baked in the oven verses fried in grease. So many quick options that are better than fast food.

no shade mama but an 11 year old diet is mostly impacted by you, you buy the food and control his portions(for the most part) talk to his pediatrician, not threads because these folks don’t know your child’s history or nothing. instead of dieting, maybe improve just his eating habits? you don’t gotta always resort to a diet.
