About me

Introduction	I am the mother of a child right on the cusp of obesity, between the "Overweight" and "Obese" categories on the BMI scale. He used to be all the way on the obese side, but he recently lost 20 pounds. I'm starting this blog because I said to a friend "if I knew then what I know now he never would have gotten this heavy." Since she has concerns about her own children, she asked me to share what I wish I'd known then. We decided to have an ongoing discussion about it in a blog format so that our conversation might help other parents concerned about their children.
