I know what you mean!
My oldest son is 7 (he'll be 8 in April) and weighs 107 lbs. I'm 5'3" and only a head taller than he is, so he's not exceptionally short, but still overweight. In his father's side of the family just about everyone, no correction, everyone in his family is overweight and I don't want Bobby (my son) to have any health problems. He already has asthma, and I know with some weight loss, it'll alleviate some of his breathing problems. I watch his carb intake at home, but like someone else in the thread said, the schools are not very good about that. He's aware that he's bigger than other kids his age and is pretty good for the most part at home, but not always. He still always want take out... a bad habit I got him in when he was a lot younger and now I'm dealing with the consequences of those actions. Hopefully, with time, I'll get him eating healthier and get his weight down a little.
Wish me luck!!
