How can I help my obese toddler?
I have a 5 year old son who weighs almost 80 lbs. His doctor has told me he is obese, but other that that has offered no real solutions, such as the best meal plan for him. He is a compulsive overeater and is also developmentally delayed. We saw a developmental specialist and was told he functions as a 3.5 yr old. We have done eveything under the sun to stop his constant feeding and hoarding, including putting locks on the pantry. It breaks my heart because me, my husband, and 2 older children are all very thin. It breaks my heart because he feels like the odd kid out and I desperately want to help him. His weight is to the point of disabling. Give me some adice on how I can help him lose weight. BTW, he is not allowed junk food, but the food he does get, he will gorge on in huge amounts if not watched carefully.
