DC3 now nearly 10 is overweight. It started slowly in year 2 and now in year 5 she is undeniably overweight. Her older brother is really skinny and her older sister normal weight. She loves her food. Not sure what to do, but I need to do something. Her lunch box usually contains a ham or chicken bagel sandwich, a packet of crisps, a kitkat and a caprisun. I can do better clearly. Carrot sticks? Fruit? Replacing the drink with water? What about treats? And she goes to breakfast club, should I limit what she can get? And after school club, she eats quite a lot there too. Then will have dinner at home. What are healthy snacks alternatives? I feel bad should know that but I don't really have a clue.
