Childhood obesity is on the rise; what’s a Mom to do?

If you are concerned about your child’s weight, or just want to learn tips for raising a child that values health, attend this 7 session FREE tele-summit.

**Oct. 8** – Dharlene Marie Fahl, Lean Teen Self-Esteem

**Childhood obesity is on the rise – adult obesity is through the roof!**

My colleague, Pat Altvater, the tele-summit host, works with overweight adult women, including many that were heavy children. Altvater notes that being overweight as a child has long lasting effects, including, vividly remembering the snide remarks and names they were called as a child as well as the isolation and rejection they felt when they were put on diets.

Altvater’s preliminary research findings, from interviews with women who were overweight as children, indicate that the habits and beliefs they acquired early in life lead most to a lifetime of yo-yo dieting. As adults, they are caught in a cycle of trying the latest quick fix or diet program, failing to take consistent action, and then judging themselves harshly for their failure, which typically just diminishes their self-esteem and adds more pounds to their overweight body.

Children need to know how to “BE” healthy and not just how to “do” diets.
