My 12 year old DS has been putting on weight during lockdown - he usually does about 25,000 steps a day with walking to school plus loads of sport.
I’ve been really slack with his eating but it’s got out it control and I need to reign it in somehow as he’s always asking for food - some of it out of boredom I think but he’s also been in the cupboards helping himself. I don’t but biscuits etc generally but we’ve been out today so he’s had extra crap.
I think I need help with quantities & cutting out crap but I don’t want it to come accross like I am restricting him either as he’s got fixated on being ‘fat’ & has been crying about it. He’s a pescatarian
Today has been particularly unhealthy carbs day- he’s had:
Breakfast- shreddies & milk
Snack- brioche roll
Lunch- vegan chickpea & butternut pasty & a marmite sandwich plus a mr whippy Icecream
Snack - crackers & butter
Tea- homemade vegetable chilli, brown rice, tacos & avocado
After tea-crunchynut cornflakes & milk
Aibu to ask- is this too much? I know it’s unhealthy sugar & carbs wise but I feel like he’s constantly asking for food but putting on weight because the balance is wrong but I don’t know how to right the balance again.
Aibu to ask for some help please- I normally feel on top of healthy eating but this pandemic has made me feel out of control with it
