Weight Management For Kids/Teens

I recently dropped Erik/Igor an e-mail to get their thoughts on a project Cecily and I would like to undertake.  They loved the idea.  So we begin our project.

Everyone you talk to agrees that the thought of putting kids on a "diet" seems wrong.  However, the rate that our children are becoming obese is skyrocketing.  There are more and more cases of Eating Disorders in our youth and it is saddening.

We think it is time to talk about the wellness of our next generation.

Cecily and I have started gathering ideas and topics of the things we would like to cover and we would LOVE to have input and/or gather information from other members of this site.....especially the young members who use this site.  

Cecily and I are both excited about this project and look forward to getting started..

Possible Topics We Have Discussed:

-Body Image

-Self-Esteem

-Peer Pressure

-Food Choice (School/Fast Food)

-Eating Disorders

-Obesity

-Creating Positive Eating Habits

More Coming........

This is such a worthwhile project...

Feel free to take a look at this post - I added some links in a comment that apply more to kids.  Use 'em if they help!

When can we expect this masterpiece?
