So I'm I'm a bit of a pickle. My son who's 11 has problems with his weight and I really want to nip it in the bud before he gets older. He's a big lad for his age. Is 5ft 7, size 9 adults shoes and is in medium to large mens clothing. He came along with me to slimming world and I never pushed him to join. He was sat on a meeting with me and he really enjoyed it. He was the one who asked the lady if he could join as I thought he would be too young. He really enjoyed the talks and talking about portion control and managed to lose half a stone. He started at 13st3. Because I have stopped slimming world as it didn't really work for me he can't go as I'm not there. My pickle is do I go and lie and feel bad about losing weight faster than everyone there being on a completely different plan and it means my son gets the recognition he deserves for following a healthy eating plan or do I say I can't afford to go and say we can use the weighing machine down at the swimming pool and we can do it with us. I have always said to him I don't want him to lose but it would be healthy if he can grow into his weight. He's such a good kid and with group he did well with the support but without me going he can't go. I don't know what I shoul do. Advice would be great. I would Much rather my son enjoyed eating but learned how to so it properly through slimming world than have to suffer doing shakes and soups later in life. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing this plan but I dont want that to be the path my son takes. The fiver a week doesn't bother me. I would pay double so my son doesn't have the same issues with food as I do. Thanks for reading this massive post and I hope it comes accross ok. You know how sometimes things can come accross the wrong way when written down. Hugs xx
