Several times recently DS1 has said something makes him look fat.
He is quite the opposite. He is very tall for his age and has always been skinny. He never sits still, eats like a horse but still nothing on him.
He says his belly is fat. It's not but obviously he's 9 so he doesn't have a six pack.
He says he's fatter than the other boys at school.
What do I say?
Both DH & I are overweight. I'm a size 16 but am active (I go running /cycling etc) and I would say we're quite an active family.
We eat healthy meals.
I'm sure it's not a big issue but set off alarm bells with me about body confidence that I never thought I'd have to worry about.
