A Message to Parents
By Taylor LeBaron

When I weighed 297 pounds, carrying all that extra weight was difficult. But besides the extra weight, I carried around some pretty big worries—things my family never imagined. I think most kids who are seriously overweight experience the same fears and struggles I experienced.

Sometimes parents are too close to notice, and kids may be too embarrassed to share their feelings or ask for help.

My family is loving and supportive, and they would have done anything to help me. But incredibly, they didn’t think of me as obese. I was just Taylor—funny, opinionated, optimistic. If they’d known what I was experiencing as a grossly overweight teen, they would have helped me get fit.

A chunky kid can turn into an obese kid or teen so gradually that those closest don’t notice.

You may not see your own child as obese. But check the charts. If your child is classified as overweight or obese, here are some things he or she may wish you knew.

1. Overweight kids worry about their health. They may be as terrified as I was about weight-related diseases. I avoided the doctor’s because that’s where I had to face my weight. I was afraid to have blood work because I was certain I had high cholesterol, and I was sure my blood pressure was beyond the safe range. The more I read and heard about weight-related diseases, the more worried I became.

2. XXL kids often struggle with self-esteem issues. Though they may not talk about it, they’re probably teased, even if it’s good-natured teasing. And hurtful words can cause long-term psychological damage.

3 Overweight kids can feel unwelcomed among their thin peers. The more isolated kids feel, the more likely they’ll turn to food for comfort. And the more they turn to food, the bigger they get and the more isolated they feel.

4 Most overweight kids are unhappy with the extra pounds and want to lose weight. Though I acted as if my weight didn’t bother me, I promise you it did.

5 Many overweight kids have the beginnings of serious health problems. Kids can have all the diseases I was afraid of getting—heart disease, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes.

6 Most teens don’t blame their parents for the extra pounds. They feel wholly and miserably responsible.

7 Overweight teens can feel defeated before they start. When they have a lot of weight to lose, they may feel like it’s useless to try.

Of course, I hope you buy my book, Cutting Myself in Half, for your overweight teen. But most of all, I hope you’ll find some way to motivate your teen to get fit. You can find lots of fitness plans, and my hope is that you’ll find one that works for you. (By the way, my book has ideas that work for any age. My mom has lost 75 pounds following my plan.
