When you shop for your children’s clothes, you go to
the children’s department. When your child is sick, you
take them to a pediatrician, and if they need a plan to
lose weight, it needs to be one specifically for children.

Recently, I received a call from a Mom who told me how
great our program (That-a-Weigh Kids®) was. Her
teenager had been losing weight steadily and was learning
to make good choices for a healthy lifestyle now and in the
future. The Mom then went on to apologize that her
daughter wouldn’t be returning to That-a-Weigh Kids®
because she took her to another program that was geared
for adults but accepted kids. After all, school was starting
and Mom really wanted her daughter to lose 10 pounds in
4 weeks. The goal was pure weight loss, not having her child
learn how to make good food choices and how to lose
weight properly.

The truth is, what this child learned is that in the end
you do whatever you have to do to lose weight. How sad,
because she had lost weight by eating right, playing
hard (exercising) and was well on her way to being very
happy with herself without having to resort to shakes
and supplement bars.

You can give your child a wonderful gift by teaching
them the right way to manage their weight when they
are young. Supplements, shakes, vitamin shots and
fad diets send them the wrong message.
