Shit, my kids are nearly overweight.

2 and 4. Thought four year old was looking bigger after lockdown so got the tape measure and the scales out, ran it all through a NHS calculator and she is only just within ‘healthy’ weight.

I never thought I would be that person.

Need to nip it in the bud right now.

Don’t know why I’m posting, really. Just wanted to offload as can’t tell friends.

What I don't get is all the tape measuring and weighing.

We periodically measure the kids height on the door frame, it's a fun and quick activity for them to do. We have bathroom scales that they like to play on, every now and then I glance over their shoulder when they are on them. Hardly psychologically damaging for them!

Well done for doing something about it! My dd has noticeably put on weight during lockdown and it's really difficult knowing how to approach it. I'm hoping more activity now she's back at school will sort it out...
