If you are overweight kid, don’t be afraid to ask your parents for help. I know that you may think they are too busy, don’t think it is a problem, or will just tell you to “eat less and get up and move instead of sitting around all the time.” It isn’t quite that simple.

Please let your parents know how you feel. They love you and want what is best for you. They want you to be happy. They may not have any idea how your weight is affecting your life. I’m sure if you are open and honest with them, they will want to help you.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT put yourself on a diet. A restrictive diet is not the answer, because even if you lose a lot of weight, you will probably gain it back, plus some, when the diet is over. If you want to lose weight to have more confidence, attract a boyfriend/girlfriend, get the other kids to stop teasing and bullying you, etc., you must change your lifestyle. That may mean doing some things you don’t do today.

Good nutrition is the first key to healthy weight loss. If you don’t like

vegetables, eat them anyway. As you become used to them, you will learn to like most of them (I promise!). Fruits and vegetables not only contain vitamins and minerals to make you look and feel better, but they contain fiber, which will make you feel fuller. Just take a few bites of everything, and go easy on the white bread and anything made with sugar. I know you love pizza, but it is high in calories, so order it with thin crust, veggies, and NO extra cheese. Limit your pizza to once or twice a week, and eat a salad first.

Skip the sodas and drink water or low-fat milk instead. You really need the calcium in milk and dairy products, so try for 3 servings a day of low-fat milk, cottage cheese, cheese or yogurt. Just ONE regular size soda a day can make you gain 10 pounds in a year. I don’t even want to think about how many pounds the extra-large sodas might cause you to gain!

Skip the French fries, and have a salad instead. French fries really shouldn’t count as a vegetable since they are almost all starch. Have a baked potato instead, and go easy on the butter and sour cream.

Turn off the TV and computer, and go to bed earlier! Studies have proven that there is a direct connection between childhood obesity and not getting enough sleep. As a preteen or teenager, you need 9 or more hours of sleep each night.

Do something each day for exercise. Get a pedometer so that you can record the number of steps you take each day, and try to reach 10,000 a day. Offer to run errands for your parents, run the vacuum, walk the dog, or whatever chores will involve movement. Ride your bike, work out to an exercise video, or join the YMCA or Boys’ & Girls’ club so you can swim, shoot hoops, or work out on the exercise equipment.

Ask your mom or dad for a few minutes of their time to have a private talk with you, and then share your feelings and goals concerning your weight. Ask for their help. If they are overweight also, ask if the whole family can lose weight and get healthier together. Your talk may be all they need to get started. Do it today!!

I signed up for a child development course. I’m going to be a sophmore, and it is a three year couse. I would really like to work in the social work or medical field. I know that for both of these fields a Child Development class is required. I’m just wondering what types of jobs would be available to me? With further schooling of course. Jobs and a description of them would be awesome

My cory catfish layed eggs all over the glass of my 30 gallon tank. I have 6 tetras, 2 danios, 2 cory catfish, and 1 molly. No one seems to be eating them, which is good. I want to save them. How long will it take to hatch them out? I have some empty tanks I can use to put the babies in once they hatch. I have a 6 gallon and a 3 gallon. Which should I use? Should I use a filter or will that suck them up? Will it hurt them to transfer them into a new tank with a net? And last but not lest should I just syphon out some water from the original tank to use in the fry tank? Wew, sorry but I need help!
