You WHAT???

Why? Are you photo shopping me in

Parents should be accountable for their children's weight, conditions aside, and told by schools, GPs and other healthcare professionals. Allowing your child to become obese is cruelty. An adult struggling with weight issues is entirely different.

Do parents also "allow" their childen to become anorexic PosieParker?

Why? Physiologically its identical.

breast feeding is the way it should be!

Anorexic is a mental health issue, overweight children are a dietary issue. I'm not talking about 14 yr olds, I'm talking about very fat 3,4,5 etcs....

I wonder why Anorexia is considered to be a mental health issue and over eating isnt. Genuine question.

Alousieg, an annorexic friend of mine was treated for that alone with overeaters and bulemic's at a clinic, she classed them all as eating disorders.

A perfectly healthy mind can be encouraged to over eat and fed the wrong food, little children that I know who are overweight are given plenty of adult size meals, adult size treats (like a whole mars bar), drink fizzy and don't exercise. I do think an adult that over eats is as excused as one that undereats as normally these habits are set in childhood and bloody hard to undo.

along not alone

Compulsive eaters do have eating disorders, link emotion and food and so on.

Thats encouraging MummieHunnie.

PosieParker, your post doesn't make much sense to me. I'm guessing it's either full of typos or i've got sudden word blindness

My point is that fat people get told to go to weight watchers while Anorexics are referred to a mental health team.

I have a blinding headache and so it's probably me!!

Its those children of yours...they'll have to go

Phew tell me about it, DH is in Dubai then back for two days and off to New York.....

I think some over eating is a mental health issue and goes beyond changing a diet but most people can unlearn habits if they want to enough and get enough support,. However you can starve yourself to death and so anorexia is a much faster killer. Both can be life limiting though. Anorexia is often about control, over eating is about a lack of control and I would think gaining control is easier than letting go.

Cornwall is disgusting - full of slag heaps, tin mines, wind turbines and stumpy inbred Cornish wankers.

Cut 'em off at the Tamar Bridge, I say.

LeQueen, I shall be reporting you forthwith to HQ for offensiveness to bald spotted, cauliflower eared, bad haired laydeees.

They have feelings too y'know.
