[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 531926"] thank you for all the input so far. I agree that my difficult child is missing some "switch" that tells him he is full. I think it is the same "switch" that is missing that helps him control his anger! difficult child does eat fast no matter how much we remind him to slow down, which grates on him because then he gets mad at us for saying that to him so much. I am not trying to put him a diet as much as teach him portion control without denying him any food he enjoys. That is what weight watchers focuses on for kids his age with a doctors note. He just can't take not getting how much of what he wants when he wants it! Yet, he tells me often that he wants to lose the weight! I feel bad for him because I know it take discipline and restraint which he is lacking! We all know he will never be thin and this is why although he is way over 20lbs over weight, the doctor only set 20lbs loss as his goal. It won't make him thin but he will be healthier and have less aches and pains from sports which he loves. it will also teach him good eating habits if I can get him going on a program! We keep lots of fruits in the house and make veggies with every meal and encourage difficult child to eat those if still hungry after normal portion of main meal but nope... he wants more of what he wants or look out!
