Eating Too Much Posted: 12-28-07 13:20pm


I'm a step mom of two teenage boys, and I have a concern about one. I feel he is eating too much. He is a 6'2", 16 yr. old, 300 lbs., and he eats and eats. When others are going for seconds, he is going for 3rds or 4ths. No one seems to think it's a problem, and he's dad is telling him to eat up. Should I just leave it alone? or step in and say something. We have them every weekend, and it happens every weekend. What should be done?

Cook less food? There is an overeating disorder as well. It could very well be a medical problem, as in a thyroid problem or something. Is he self concious about being overweight or anything? Maybe you could start a conversation that way and ask him if he would be willing to seek medical advice/care.
