My best friend used to be REALLY big. Like 550 lbs. After months/years of dieting and consultations he finally got approved for weight loss surgery. He's down to about 180 now and has kept if off for more than 2 years. I'm super proud of him. But his son seems to be going down the same path.
The kid is 11 years old and weighs 170 lbs. He tries to help him exercise, cooks healthy meals, but the kid just keeps getting bigger. He sneaks food at home, buys snacks from his school vending machine, and gets his grandma to buy him fast food when she's watching him (which is frequent.)
My friend feels like shit about it because he doesn't want his son to end up like he did. He's kinda at a loss, and feels like he's tried everything.
I think my friends downfall is that he's too empathetic, and doesn't want to make his son feel bad about himself. I have never been in a situation like this so I really can't offer any advice to him myself.
Do you guys have any suggestions?
