[QUOTE="mcrolling, post: 153650, member: 5245"] His doctor has been monitoring his weight over the last several years. He's off the charts on both his height and his weight, but they are proportionate to each other. I did the BMI thing on him a week or so ago and found out the same info. We haven't done a full blood work up, but his blood pressure and all is good. He does usually chunk up before he hits another growth spurt, so I do have a feeling that may be coming on. He has always been "dense", even as a toddler, but never looked big. A while back I was buying him those 100-calorie pack snacks from nabisco. They made portion control easy for him. But they weren't a very healthy snack and so pricey for what you got. I really just want him to be able to learn to listen to his body's cue and not eat from boredom. I appreciate all of your opinions and advice. This parenting gig is hard enough without throwing in a challenge. I did plan on making another appointment with- his doctor pretty soon. Oh and to whomever asked about his medications -- he is on the Daytrana 20mg patch. [/QUOTE]
