Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed ds cutting down a bit on portion sizes and refusing chocolate and cakes. This is unusual as he loves food. I also walked him on him weighing himself and looking at his body in the mirror. It is really the first time he has appeared to have any interest in his body image.

He is a very tall, well built boy - much bigger than his peers and just beginning puberty I think. He is not overweight but is not toned or muscley. He does not enjoy sport at school but has started doing sporting activities with us at the weekends/evening which he is loving.

I am just not sure if the eating thing is normal for his age. I don't want to draw attention to it unnecessarily if it is. Would really appreciate your experiences please.
