Thank you Wendy

I started a thread just for him. It's called "Zack's progress and a caution for parents".

Deb, I hope all goes well with you and your son. Myabe one day we can hook them up on email to support each other since they are the same age

I started this thread earlier this year..... I just wanted to impress unpon you other parents how important getting our kids eating habits under control.

I read back and say, why the h*ll didn't I make us stick with this?!?!?!

My son now, 14 weighs in at 208, down from 215 last week. My heart is bleeding... I know he is in store for some serious health issues if he doesnt get it under control.

So parents, do it now, before they get to the 200+ point and then have one heck of a battle.

Hey.

I was just wondering if you have ever had your son see a therapist or if he is suffering from depression?

When I was a teenager I struggled a lot with my weight as high as a bit over 200lbs and thru various diets/eatign disorders and so forth it has been as low as 125lbs. And while the diets would help me lose weight it was all the emotional baggage that would damage all efforts. Sometimes we eat or use sugar as a drug.

This could not relate at all to your situation but I just thought I would offer up the situation because I can only imagine the pain you are in.

Good luck and my best wishes..
